Medical debt is one of the main reasons families go bankrupt in the US. Almost everyone in this country has experienced the violence of paperwork and claims denial. Everyone has a medical trauma or grief from the system.

She Was Separated From Her 1-Year-Old at the Border. The Government Wouldn’t Tell Her Why.
U.S. officials can withhold their rationale in family separation cases that relate to national security. There have been about 80 children separated for these reasons this year, with an estimated 50 of them Russian.

New tax filings show that Elon Musk’s charitable foundation fell $421 million short of the amount it was required to give away in 2023. Musk has until the end of the year to distribute that money, or he will be required to pay a sizable penalty to the IRS.
