This is the perspective of a recent diagnosis, and someone with privileged healthcare. While I completely, very tangibly, empathize with much of the article (especially isolated treatment & urgent care), it is attacking the wrong thing.
Inadequate healthcare is the real problem. It is foundational. That fact that these companies exist is a problem, yet really we need to focus on the fact that social media and alternative care is the only "welcoming" experience for so many who either can't afford, or who can, & meet critical treatment with a slap of reality and a world of so much uncertainty and direction that THEY ultimately have to navigate with only the general guidance of whoever's care they land in.
"Delete Facebook" ... no, I disagree. Embrace social-care and find others in similar situations.
