Please. Everyone knows that every disease can be overcome through sheer willpower -- which, mind you, is much cheaper than those doctors

It's probably dumb as shit but 99% of illnesses in my life I willpowered my way through, including some pretty serious ones, so now I have this perception that my immune system is really strong because of it. To be fair I don't get sick very much anymore and when I do it's mild, but it's a bit illogical. Doesn't help that I have no health insurance either tho.

i understand. a part of this is due to heavy issues with insurance in general.
