A New York woman who died Sunday from cancer has raised enough money to erase million of dollars in medical debt with a posthumous plea for help. Casey McIntyre told followers in a social media message posted by her husband that she had arranged to buy the medical debt of others and destroy it as a way of celebrating her life.

RIP, goodhearted woman.

America, if you’d vote for change, this wouldn’t be necessary. The US is the only developed country where this is commonplace.

    My guy 4 years took us from MC4A being fringe to every primary candidate having their own pitch for it from just doing medicare but without the age floor to complete abolition of private medicine.

    The reason it hasn’t happened yet is because the demographic that’s most vocal for it is also the one that has to be dragged to the polls kicking and screaming to actually flipping vote for it.

      I don’t believe a single mainstream Democrat would ever stop taking donations in order to actually implement it. I’ll still vote for the lesser of two evils until something changes with our bullshit system. Doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it
