Even those who have health insurance today are not safe. Daniel Mark Desnoyers had health insurance, but today he is dead.
xLast month my 29 yo son tried to get his prescription filled for his depression when he learned he missed a $20 new charge and had to wait a month for his plan to kick back in. He is dead now from suicide. $20 FUCKING DOLLARS! I am devastated and can hardly breath WTF

— scott (@scottdesno) April 14, 2019 xThe house is quite right now, everyone is sleeping. I am reading all the wonderful post of support through blurry eyes. I have a hard fight to fight for my boy, but first I have to get through today. So sorry Danny I love you soo much. I will not let your story end. I promise.
— scott (@scottdesno) April 14, 2019We have a choice friends. We can fight against the greed of the for-profit private insurance companies, who have a history of ruthlessly prioritizing profits over the health and welfare of people. Or we can turn our heads away and pray that such a tragedy never happens to us or one of our dearly loved ones. #MedicareForAll
