It’s a horrendous thing. To see a person killed before their time when they didn’t have to die. Just like what happens to thousands of Americans each year who are denied coverage.

1. Get an account
2. Screw with it till you can get it to give you terrible advice
3. Sue
4. Use cash to pay off debt, take a long vacation, get actual professional help/medication/etc
5. Improved mental health

The system works
