(9,239 posts)18. my idiot brother is pissed at MediCal all the time.
He shouldn't be alive because of 50 years of drug and alcohol abuse compounded by several years in prison. He has been given drugs to cure his hepatitis C and other injuries and chronic illness. They aren't getting back to him right now. He's furious. Now I'm furious at him.
I called to check in on him and got an earful of anger at doctors and colleges. He has health issues and can't let go of pent up anger. He defends trump though. He couldn't stay on the phone to hear even one critique. He hung up on me before I could tell him about Dr Linda Quick of the CDC and his trade war.
I'm so upset by how he doesn't appreciate the sacrifice of those payng the price for trump policies. His anger seems to out weigh mine. Now I feel ill.
