    That’s something they’ll be able to tell their children and grandchildren with pride.

    I think it’s awesome somebody said no. I’m buried to my neck in medical debt and will probably never own a house because of it. Shit I’ll probably never get out of low-income housing. Oh well, that’s the price I pay for freedom and democracy I guess. /s

      American healthcare is so expensive for those with no or minimal insurance, postpone using hospitals and doctors until a last resort. The predictable result is that when patients finally have to use those services, their problem is often advanced, harder to heal and much more expensive. Our health outcomes are at the bottom of the industrial nations.
