    Can start looking forward to retirement maybe?

    I long for (early) retirement, but I’m pretty sure I’ll have to continue working until I die just so that I have health insurance. :(

        Thank you… unfortunately, the system is working exactly as it was designed to do. If people can’t lose their job because they’ll also lose their health/healthcare then they won’t fight back even against little injustices, let alone large ones. I dream of a day when the U.S. has universal healthcare, but I don’t think I’ll see it in what’s left of my lifetime.
