The Pain You Don’t Notice

The Medical Industrial Complex Is Broken, and We’re All Just Supposed to Accept It
The medical industrial complex has gotten completely out of fucking control, and what blows my mind is where the hell are the protests for this?

All while you’re paying for insurance that promises access but delivers obstruction. This isn’t medicine anymore. It’s compliance theater.
