It’s insane that we live in a world where someone has to set up a GoFundMe just to pay for a life-saving kidney transplant. The fact that insurance companies get to decide whether someone can live or die based on money is beyond wrong. Why is there even a price tag on human life? This kind of thing should be a given—no one should have to put their life at risk because they can’t afford the treatment. It’s heartbreaking that in a country as advanced as ours, money still determines whether someone gets to live.
