    Unlike you people I have to connect with people with a rare disease and I don’t have a choice. Ride that high horse cowboy, it feels good for a time.

      Buddy I’m literally living with cancer. Check my post history, I’m not shy about mentioning it, it’s Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. The most stressful part of it is living in the US and running the risk of losing access to a medication that costs $18k a month. It may not be rare but that doesn’t make it any less of a bitch to live with.

      There’s literally a good chance that if Trump is successful in repealing the ACA, that I won’t be able to come up with a way to afford it, and I will die a horrifically painful and totally preventable death within the next year of it being repealed.

      I’m part of several support groups, none of which use Meta services to connect.

      Keep on making excuses for yourself man.

        Not sure what’s your point really, disability olympics where we argue who has it worse? You’re advocating for people who are already disadvantaged to disadvantage themselves on purpose even more for your holy war. I’m fairly sure you have very little idea of regional context (like there’s a world outside of US) which makes this even more out of touch.
