Very good points. That said, I might just open a TikTok account.

I come from a red state where debt is frowned upon and I have multiple friends avoiding taking care of themselves or moving forward with their lives in any way for fear of it. Unlike me, whose medical needs forced me to take on debt, they haven't had to bite that bullet.

Frankly, none of us should. I'd be happy to pay the amount medical services actually cost if they were charged that way, or volunteer for my colleges so they too can keep costs down, but right now the numbers are daunting and unfair.

Even if we don't have debt, the mere threat of it paralyzes us. It's fantastic to get it paid off, but the system needs an overhaul.

Thank you for helping point us to more ways we can help. Hopefully the big changes we need can be accomplished in time
