    Dear Americans, I’m not writing this to gloat… But what the fuck have you let happen to your country. Health care is a human right!

    I’m currently in hospital, for a second time in a month. First time, I came in with a “very nasty pneumonia”, which turned into sepsis, I needed surgery to help clear the crap from my lung. They sent me home after 14 days. They also flew me from my local small hospitals to the bigger one I’m in now.

    I was home for 4 days and started getting severe chest pains around my heart. So I’m back, feeling way better now, is a long weekend so no doctors to make decisions… I’m stuck in here till Tuesday at least. On Tuesday it will be a total of 24 days. Various medications and treatments etc…

    My expected bill at the end of all of this is $0.00.

    The only real cost is the gas from hour each way for my family coming to visit. All meals are covered.

    I honestly have no idea how much my time here is costing the national health service. The are no numbers discussed, everything is just what you need to get better.
