All flesh is but wheat chaff scattered by the breeze. And wheat chaff, as your claims specialist will inform you, is not covered under your mini-med limited-benefits plan.
You are an insulin drop trembling on the tip of an out-of-network EpiPen. Glimmering. Pure. Bankrupting.

Much of this, I’m sure, stems from a genuine desperation to tackle the housing crisis left by the Conservatives. We’ve inherited sky-high waiting lists, and homeownership is a distant dream for millions.
