It's by Adam Conover who has been factually incorrect in the past many times yet has often been correct to some extent which is why I ask.

How climate change and physics affect baseball, America's favorite pastime

Why are so many "younger people" getting diagnosed with cancer at the moment, and realistically what are the odds of a 25 year old being diagnosed with terminal cancer?

I've genuinely never experienced this high a level of health anxiety before. To the point where I'm spending half of some days visualizing being sat in a GP/doctors room with my family being told I have three months left to live.

[WI] Urgent help needed: Dad retired, mom isn't eligible for Medicaid, charged $300/day for care

Hi all, thanks for reading. Trying to quickly get caught up with Medicaid and healthcare options, so any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Mom lives in an assisted-living facility due to MS, and needs 16 hours a day of care. The home charges $300/day for this care, which was previously covered by Medicaid. I'm not entirely sure how she qualified for Medicaid before while my dad was working, but something has changed now that he's retired and has access to his annuity/IRA - there's technically too much in the account now to qualify for Medicaid, but it's nowhere near enough to sustain paying for this assisted living facility at $8k/month.

Are there any other avenues we could look at to solve this? It's way too much money to feasibly afford out of pocket. They're looking at divorce as an option. Not sure if switching to Medicare is a possibility, or if any other state/federal assistance programs could help with this.

[Discussion] Why aren’t people more aware about the the various resources for free healthcare?

These places are completely free, because some people donated their money to keep these medical facilities and clinics afloat. People who choose to pay or use insurance have also helped out. Also, free for a wide range of services while surgery is subjective for cost depending on medical facility/clinic. There are still problems for free clinics like long waits. We’ve even had homeless women have to shielded by Pro life protestors because they entering a women’s clinic that can do abortions. They were using free exam services and not pregnant at all. These free health facilities and clinics exist all over the U.S.
