Oh boy. If it's any consolation (and I really hope it doesn't make it worse), I never, never take for granted that I live in a country that does have it down. It does seem a little bit third-world country on a big budget. So genuinely, sorry about that.
However!! You can put the money you used to spend on wine towards health insurance! (It's the only thing I could come up with).
(((toki))) and well done for driving right on past :-)
