Hi there! I'm new to Substack and have to say, your content is *exactly* what I've been looking for. I've been writing and talking about the woes of American "healthcare" as my own way of coping, but feeling increasingly hopeless and helpless. I'm a nurse, and though the pandemic has been a global shitshow, this mess didn't start in 2019-2020. I appreciate you taking the time to shine a light down here in the muck, and hope it doesn't fall on deaf ears. I'm happy that you're here, and happy to support a cause I believe in.
Libby I hope you know that, actually, I have only ever thought you could maybe stand to take MORE time off. you are not unreliable. i am incredibly impressed with your work ethic & your brilliant reporting. this marks my first paid substack subscription!
Hi Libby. I recently started reading your newsletter and immediately knew it was filling a major void. I run a nonprofit that works to help patients and caregivers with their stress. Needless to say I have found that SO much of it stems from the broken healthcare system. I admit I was naive to this at first because, as a patient myself, I have been really lucky and my health condition (while shitty) doesn't mean lots of appointments and doctors and treatments. I find myself really committed to learning the perils of the American healthcare system but didn't know where to go – and there you were! This specific email made me pull the trigger to sign up for your paid version. I'm so happy to help you pursue this work :)
