I shot this today before spending the day on the phone with doctors, before spending the day at the skilled nursing center, before arranging for Dad to get transported to the ER,  before waiting in the ER, before waiting for another doctor to admit Dad to the hospital, and before finally going home to dinner and before fighting with my brother about health care in the U.S.

My dad is fortunate. He has good coverage. We may be frustrated by the requirements and phone calls and authorizations, but at the end of the day, the family doesn’t have to worry about losing everything because of his medical bills. What is wrong with wanting that for everyone who lives in my country?

This is not the way I wanted to end the day.
