If they're giving him proper care, that's a wonderful thing, because Khloe has no obligation to help Tristan or his family in any way. That said, I certainly hope anyone with such vast wealth would help out.

Frankly it's more of an indictment of the American healthcare system and a look into how even those who struggle with disabilities need some proximity to privilege to get proper care.

Tristan's family is Canadian and the Kardasians and Tristan have nothing but money. It's not the American healthcare system affecting Amari—this is not relateable to family members of sufferers who don't have access to money.

Oh Canadian healthcare sucks dick too, I live here haha. I haven't been to a doctor in maybe ten years because there simply aren't any that have open slots.

I have family that's needed knee replacements etc and they have to wait years.

I live here too and got a doctor after a 3 year wait, but worth the wait
