My parents, followed by my sister with 3 children, and 2/3s of my nieces and nephews with 2 children each, youngest daughter with 2 had a similar set up by 26.
All out of the house by 19.
Sorry, not buying the need for the nanny state til 26 years old
My youngest is in his 2 full time year of college and lives at the dorms, he is 20 . For just a general degree he will graduate at 22. If he wants a Masters or a PHD well who knows how long.
He is a type 1 diabetic and needs to have insurance.
I never had health insurance until I was married and had children.. we had affordable medical care if needed.
Now a Epi Pen that a diabetic needs has raised their crooked price so only a rich wealthy kid can afford it..let alone insulin..
.
Who's responsible for the high cost of healthcare in America?
The same fuckers that said Obamacare wouldn't cost a dime and would save you $2500 per year.
Actually the high cost has been continually going up since the Rockefeller's gave money to the medical schools...As soon as big $$$ came into play we have corruption and greed, it continues to get worse.
.
So has the cost of everything else. But it isn't often that the government mandates a product...then oversees a 150-300% increase of the costs of that product in 1 or 2 years.
We see how corruption happens when the government isn't involved as we see with the Big Pharma... Why is it illegal to buy from a different country ( the same drug so much cheaper ) because the politicians vote in favor of the $$$ because they pay for campaigns.
I feel that the medical costs have risen tremendously because of the law that the emergency rooms have to legally see everyone , whether you are a US resident or not.
They use the ER for a cold .
I had an emergency last year and they were treating people in the waiting rooms, and jake up the price
They can't pay or skip the bill, we end up paying for that. I don't hear anyone in congress talking about that..
We need a complete overhaul in Big Pharma and Medical treatment. I see these damn politicians looking the other way.
