Why Every Family Needs to Be Its Own First Responder
Recently, I received yet another email from a man whosemessages always carry the same urgent theme: government failures, collapsing systems, and the hidden costs we’re all about to pay. The latest claimed his brother died, not from illness, but from the ripple effects of a 40-year-old policy decision made back in 1981. I get these emails often, and while they are clearly written to provoke fear, I believe there’s value in pausing to research the claims, separate fact from rhetoric, and uncover what lessons families can actually take away.
The truth is, our healthcare system is strained, and thedoctor shortage and family preparedness are two realities we can’t ignore. Whether or not the email’s story is literal, the underlying point rings true: there are not always enough doctors, nurses, or hospital beds when disaster strikes. From wildfires in California to hurricanes in Florida, we’ve seen how quickly access to care can disappear when systems are overwhelmed. And when that happens, families are left with one option they must become their own first responders.
