    How long have you been here?

    It’s my third month of chemo

    Ok, good.

      vance: Why’d you wait so long and let cancer get this bad before getting treated?

      Cancer Patient: Because I kept getting denied from insurance and we can’t afford it on our own…

      vance: Can’t afford? I’d just walk into a hospital, I get free healthcare for life for my entire family.

      Cancer Patient: …and we had to sell our home just to cover additional costs

      vance: ok, good. that couch looks comfy
