I'm already speaking to a local KXAN person who sent me to ProPublica. Local said they might pick me up once my healthcare has lapsed and my active dying begins.

How messed up is it when finding people willing to chronicle you dying is so much easier than securing healthcare to keep you alive? It feels a bit like hunger games.
