I don't fear mass shootings any more than I fear terrorist perpetrated subway or event bombings.

Medical debt and the discourse around it is interesting. Not having insurance is the fundamental issue, medical debt itself is legally mandated to be negotiable. As in they are legally required to find a negotiable payoff price that will work for your personal financial situation, similar to school debt. I pay $70/month for school debt and will for the next 25 years. Is that a lot? Yes. Does it matter to me? Not so much. I could be wrong about the medical debt, but I don't think i am.

This is huge and something that would drastically improve my quality of life in a substantial way. Love Europe for this. Love.
