My parents are still paying on my mom's heart attack a year later, and my dad has good health insurance. They are lucky my dad's union job allows them to pay the bill, but just imagine what would have happened if like so many other people he was laid off this last year?
I am 30 and I have many friends who have had medical bills go to collection.
I also like it when you look up who is contributed to John Boehner's campaign fund over the last few years. Makes you realize why he is REALLY against this bill.
Healthcare costs have gotten to the point where they are unsustainable for the average American. Much like the "dream" of a nice one family house and white picket fence has disappeared, now something like simply like being able to own insurance is becoming more difficult to have.
