Bon bagay, Rebecca for being able to make things work. I teach on the college level, and often wonder how my students who don’t get a big job - or simply a full time job with benefits - will manage in todays world. Student loan payments, insurance plus medical costs, rent that is the same or even more than a mortgage payment, etc. I had the good fortune to teach in Haïti in person then again via Zoom during Covid, and I’m mildly familiar with some of the struggles Haïtians gave, and how so many want to come to the US. I’d love to bring a few into my studio, but my institution wants them to have a bunch of $$$$$ in the bank before they come up here. It’s infuriating, because I know that means we’ll miss out on some talent (a colleague is going to give me some suggestions based on what she’s done to bring them in). So that you’ve graduated, are working, and finding your way across the US’s inhumane health care system is an achievement. Certain people love to talk about American exceptionalism. The US exceptionalism is that this country is centered around money (cue verbiage from Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged about how layering U over S creates the dollar sign. Gag) Thanks to the men for giving Rebecca the floor. You all have been with each other for a long time, and sometimes forget that a newbie isn’t going to rush into a layered “discussion,” and in particular, the woman and/or guest on your show gets talked over. This was a really great segment, and it was super important to hear everything Rebecca had to contribute.

Ugh; I’m so sorry for you especially, but also your parents. The way the system has treated you is wrong. I hope that there’s some way to recover some of the finances. There’s an NPR segment that will cover ridiculous medical expenses; your situation fits this “bill.” This segment has helped people get some money back; it can be worth investigating if you have the time.
