Scenario

When couples can't afford healthcare and have to choose whose needs come first

My partner and I are both uninsured and we've been putting off medical care for months — they need dental work, I haven't had a physical in three years — and we're starting to fight about whose health needs get priority when we finally scrape together some money.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people in love are forced to ration care for their own bodies like a scarcity economy.
