As an EU citizen who watched “Breaking Bad” I always assumed that in the US there actually would be some kind of insurance check even in emergency situations. I’m glad to learn that people in reality though, do get taken care of when in nee

Dr. Gabor Maté talks a lot about trauma and how it can get "preserved" over generations (he is himself a survivor of the Holocaust).
