>I was in a situation where I needed money for healthcare

By your account, the problem is a for-profit healthcare system. Gig work might have helped you purchase a highly inflated healthcare plan, but it doesn't address the underlying issue: that people shouldn't be forced into that situation in the first place.

You mentioned you are disabled, did you not qualify for disability insurance/SSI?

I did not purchase a health care plan with the money. I purchased effective treatments. To be frank, the healthcare system is worse than useless for many when it comes to debilitating chronic illness.

I do qualify for disability, but I can't afford the legal fees to convince a judge. My illness is very controversial and would require paying a very expensive doctor to support my case. It's cheaper for me to just pay for healthcare out of pocket. Fortunately my condition is reversible.

This post is outdated. I now use emeramide.

Edit: emeramide is currently in phase 2 clinical trials for FDA approval.
