    I hope that you are able to escape having something debilitating being deemed unimportant. I suspect you might underestimate the impacts on 65+ million people and their families, who often act as unpaid caregivers.

      Wait until you learn about poverty and class warfare bro. Thats great to be morally superior with no compromises. Life doesn’t work that way.
