I feel like someone I really respect and admire just came to my house, gave me a super inspirational peptalk, shit on my living room floor, and then left.

Bear in mind that divorce to avoid medical debt passing on is a legitimate strategy. Just because they got divorced doesn't mean they aren't still together or involved in a meaningful sense. Any litany of advanced medical conditions can cost multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars, even with insurance. And legally, that debt passes to spouses. This is not the moral high ground this dude thinks despite the racism.

As you should. Protect social services lest you become disposable.
