I always find it interesting how being stressed or unhappy because of something like high medical debt is framed as a mental health issue, rather than as a normal reaction to living in a sick hyper-capitalist society.
But hey, I suppose medicating the symptoms is more profitable than tackling the causes.

Everyone should just stop paying medical debt. I have and after 7 years of ignoring it, the debt went away. Fuck Ascension and corporate urgent cares
People stopped having children, what is long term even worse for them. Less children = population shrink = permanently shrinking economy = capitalism collapse.
