💳 Bank cards for family medical care:

❌ Hand your card to them? Their ID won't match. Cue fraud checks, merchant refusal, or "payment mismatch" paperwork
❌ Permanent records linking your finances to their private health data
❌ Refunds bounce to cardholder, not patient (bureaucratic nightmare)
❌ "Authorized user" applications - asking permission to share purchasing power with family

And in surveillance-heavy jurisdictions like the US:
• Insurance algorithms cross-reference cardholder/patient names to flag "coordination of benefits fraud"
• HSA/FSA cards audited by IRS - using your card for her expenses creates tax violations unless she's a "covered dependent"
• Card companies sell transaction data to brokers building health profiles ("purchased at oncology clinic")

💵/₿ Cash/Bitcoin:

✅ Hand them the payment. Done.
✅ No ID theater. No financial-medical data fusion. No refund traps. No algorithmic suspicion.

🫶 Marriage/family is about sharing resources.
🛂 Banking is about controlling them.

When helping your own requires surveillance, tax audits, and institutional permission, your money isn't yours.

Don't ask permission to take care of your own.

#Bitcoin is permissionless money.
