It sucks that any American should ever lose insurance. It's not like that for citizens in many other countries, such as the one I now live in. No citizen here ever loses insurance. All citizens in CZ have insurance. All. And it's pretty good.

I hope Miguel's loneliness subsides soon. I think it's common for young people who leave the family "nest" to struggle with adjustments to independent living. When I went away to university I wasn't so much lonely, but did struggle with the adjustment to the new life there. I had a horrible roommate at first, then my bipolar got a tinge out of control. For me, that included drinking sprees, lack of sleep, and other symptoms. Back then I wasn't yet diagnosed. I wish I had been.
