    The craziest thing that demonstrates how shitty our healthcare system is, is that they made a goddamn movie 25 years ago about a guy holding people hostage in a children’s hospital at gunpoint to get his child a surgery when payment was denied and nobody found that premise outlandish.

        Did you sit down and watch the whole movie and not just the dramatic moments as YouTube clips? Outside of a frlew good Denzel moments, the movie was just awful in terms of dialogue, pacing, and blunt ‘foreshadowing’

      An adult friend made me watch that as a kid. I do not like thrillers, and I have cardiophobia (I can’t look at, listen to, or be too aware of biological hearts), which is very relevant to that movie. Also I was too young and wide-eyed to appreciate those kinds of systemic issues. So that was not a fun time, and I won’t forget it.
