A billionaire wrote a comment on my post saying I need to sell my too big house so I can quit smoking weed

So I can afford health insurance. Not that I am planning to stop smoking weed, just that I am each month choosing to buy weed instead of falling behind on bills. I'm not real sure what's going on but the pricing of health insurance seems way off to me, like they're charging triple what they did just a few years ago. I'm not really sure why that is.<br><br>Maybe I am too close to it to see it, but I feel somewhat attacked by his suggestion to sell my house. Like it's not that easy, and I have to live somewhere. I have to live here because I am so far in debt that I have no hope of breaking even on this place at this point. I am not exaggerating when I say that if I did lose my house I would be homeless. I could barely afford an apartment where I live now. And I am in the cheapest city in the United States, it says so on every single job listing. <br><br>Like I am not saying that anyone needs to fix the health insurance problem. I just want someone to tell me this is not my problem, that this is not my fault. It doesn't feel right to me. It feels like white supremacy when we are forced to pay for services instead of given access to healthcare like the rest of the world. <br><br>I know that the answer is to vote democrats, but we are still having to fight this fight even though the majority of us already voted for Medicare for All. It's just not being implemented. It's just not something we are allowed. <br><br>I'm just hoping to get offline for a bit. Wish me good vibes everybody.
