People not just plainly taking you at your word and asking for more proof, especially considering the implications of what you are saying, is not people attacking you or trying to dissuade you from telling your story. It is just basic pragmatism.

You seem to have a victim complex, which is totally understandable given your life experiences, and to you anyone who doesn't completely back you up is "one of them" and must be against you... that's just not reality though.

Choosing to engage with people from this standpoint severely hurts your credibility, and will push you further from your goal. If you continue this way, it will only make it easier for your detractors to discredit you and hand wave you away as a crazy person.

I think some of what you say is the truth, but some of it is obviously just your opinions and guesses... yet you make no distinctions in your presentation of the two. So as an outside observer I have no way of knowing where that line is drawn.

We judge ourselves based on our intentions, but others judge us based on our actions... you seem to expect people to judge you on your intentions which is impossible.

I think that you should probably think on that.

And I wish you the best of luck in getting justice and finding peace. I'm sorry for what you went through.

Making this a reply to the top comment since it's not a question.

FYI: it appears u/ProfessorBen77 is another account controlled by OP being used to ask the questions she wants to answer.

Not really.

Preventative care really should be the most important factor as it drives overall cost down. E.g. it's cheaper to fix a problem when caught early. But most "insured" people at my income level (35k-40k) have such high deductibles that the cost of going to the doctor for anything less than an emergency is prohibitively expensive.

I need a colonoscopy as I have family history of being at risk. I can't afford a colonoscopy even though I have "insurance". Why the fuck, then, am I paying ~$200 a month for this "insurance" that I can't afford to use?

We're no closer. Not at all. We slapped a bandaid on a bullet hole and said "all fixed!".

This is the case for the majority, so not just some places... most places.
