No, you misunderstand. The level of care I receive, or am privy to, should be available to everyone, not just the poor/disabled/elderly.
It's crazy to think that people, who are able, who are working their asses off, doing the right thing (as it were), paying bills/taxes/taking care of their children...cannot afford health care...except going to the E.R....after they've let something that was nominal in the beginning escalate into something that now has to be really and seriously addressed. All because they couldn't afford to see an MD originally, where some pills or in office treatment would have sufficed and kept them out of the hospital, where the massive fees are passed along to those with private insurance, because someone who's doing the right thing, can't afford insurance or basic medical care and wellness.
It's obscene.
There are those who could afford a doctor's office visit, but simply prefer to cry poor mouth because it would interfere with buying their 'cool shit'.
Funny how you can see people crying poor mouth, can't buy insurance, can't afford a doctor's office visit, but they have money to buy new cars and go to concerts, have six cell phones in their family, etc. It's all about priorities people.
