What, Really?

Dear Ones,

I am appalled.

My first chemotherapy bill has arrived.





Yes, I am insured.

And the system is broken. A village could be fed and have clean water for what my insurance will pay for a single chemo treatment for a middle class white woman in America.

I am so grateful for the gift of my abundance and I simply don't believe that the drugs I have received - that are old standards - actually need to cost so much.

After appalled, I find that I am sad.

Much love,
Amelia

ps: the second round was more gentle, with the dose reduction - I am feeling human seven days out, the last time I was at the ER Tuesday night.
