I've been hurt numerous times( former bullrider) and I've had children( three of them all raised to maturity) that got hurt and who gpt sick. But I've always been able to pay my medical bills and I've never had health insurance.
Sorry LS, I generally respect your insights, but I smell a little untruthfulness here. Anytime you go to the hospital the bills are enormous. I had to go to the hospital when my daughter was infant because she had a splinter that was to deep from me to remove. The nurses had a special instrument and they removed it within 30 mins! Something small like that was billed at $415.
If you don't have health insurance you are one small thing away from financial ruins (many times even if you do have health insurance)! So your either the luckiest person alive or your being untruthful! I believe its the later!
I am sick and tired of hearing BS statistics like this!If 80 percent of Americans are happy with their healthcare then why the hell do we need this massive reform?
