Ah fuck it, was going to be cryptic but ill just tell the story.

I worked for Duke university and one of the people in our department had stomach cancer. The head of the department, provost, CEO and president sent out emails asking if anyone would donate their leave for the person in their hospital being treated for cancer. If the person didn't get the days then they were going to drop them from the company insurance It was bad so the person had to stay in the hospital.

I hope they all get the most the worse form of cancer and slowly die with no family around. If there is a hell, they deserve it.

Oh man freaking brootal. Dropping them from the insurance when they needed it the most? This is we need "socialized" medical insurance.

Universal healthcare should be a right.
