It's such a disaster to see people so severely affected by the healthcare system in America. If you haven't been keeping track, there's been a similar issue with SomethingAwful's Lowtax, who is deep in debt as a result of some of the medical issues he's going through.
It's enough to certainly make me consider working in a different country. I wonder if there would be any possibilities of the Dwarf Fortress developers moving elsewhere such that they don't have to worry about a medical disaster bankrupting them.
- VectorLock 8y agoWhat kind of issues is Lowtax having?
- eropple 8y agoSuffice to say that we're chipping in for Lowtax's spine fund.
- jandrese 8y agoSome sort of Bone disease IIRC. One of the many rare conditions that are pretty much guaranteed to bankrupt you in the US, even with an expensive Cadillac healthcare plan. Bah: I was trying to check the announcement, but their forum is in lockdown mode again for some reason. Edit: Lockdown mode off.

- TaupeRanger 8y agoSeems like every week I hear about some horrible thing happening in the US healthcare system that makes me feel both disgusted and very lucky to not have any current health problems.
