    Millennial here. I have had several unaddressed health issues for at least 5 years. I can’t afford to go through another diagnosis/ treatment process because I’m still recovering, financially, from the unrelated health issues I had diagnosed and partially fixed with surgery a few years ago. I also haven’t seen a dentist in at least 8 years. I work way too much and I’m barely keeping my head above water despite doing everything right and living frugally. I’m hoping whatever is going on with me isn’t something terminal, and that I can last long enough to move to a country that supports its people. The US sure as shit isn’t it.

      Yeah, move. Takes about 3 months to most countries in America to get a residency visa
