After a point, excess wealth is truly obscene when so many people are literally struggling to provide for their families and have some semblance of a decent life. Honestly, no one needs a Billion dollars, no one.
I know someone who is on the brink of diabetic ketoacidosis... their blood sugars are so high that primary care wants them to go to the hospital by ambulance every time they come in. But their insurance covers insulin at a rate of 80%. The 20% copay they are responsible for to get their insulin? $600. A month. They literally can't afford it and it may end up costing their life. It's horrible and I hate our health care system.

Maybe we should idk close the MASSIVE tax loopholes and use the BILLIONS in tax money we get to provide free health care? I think that's fair right?
