A quick doctor’s visit

The American health care system is something I think about a lot. It’s incredibly complex—and can feel unfair in how care is accessed and experienced.

That said, if you do have good insurance—as I feel grateful to right now—the experience can be surprisingly luxurious. Yesterday, I needed an impromptu doctor’s visit. No wait time. Thoughtful, attentive care. And they even sent me home with a little goodie bag of meds and comfort items. Can you believe it?

I felt genuinely cared for—and incredibly lucky. But that’s the thing: health care shouldn’t come down to luck. It should feel this good for everyone.
