Well, thanks to the US government, the very rare immune mediated neurological disease I have was discovered in the early 2000s, at the Mayo Clinic, via NIH grant funds. Because of the disease, I had uncontrollable orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when sitting/standing up), and I was passing out multiple times a day. I also was diagnosed with multiple types of arrhythmia. If it were not for the US government, I would not be alive. I am a dual US|EU citizen, and while being American is naturally a huge part of my identity, I would not be afraid to renounce my US citizenship. The only reason why I do not is because the US literally saved my life and others with the disease I have, worldwide.
