I'm so sorry. US? I got appendicitis here, and it has really ruined any chance of being able to ever retire.
Yup, it's pretty brutal. I'm sorry to hear that for you, too. I have spent my life being furious at how horribly this nation treats people with difficult diseases, and now I'm facing it myself. Feels pretty fucking pointless to keep trying, personally.
I know the feeling. Ironically, this very line of thinking got me sent to the psych ward (which was worse than jail and less helpful) and slapped with another bill. The whole system is designed to exploit, not to cure.
