As far as the health care issue goes, that I barely skimmed across @uh-oh and @boof talking about... I've never had a doctor in my life, ever. When I was a real real little kid maybe like 8-10 I can remember having one kind of. After that no.

My dad ended up being the sole care provider for myself and my siblings at a young age. He was a Vietnam combat veteran, drafted not volunteer. He'll be 70 next month, still alive... hates the VA, hates the government etc. My dad used his 'service' for one thing though, and that was to go to college, he went to college on the GI bill. He graduated from a D1 university and was a public school teacher for 30 years.

I can remember being younger, and actually not giving a fuck at the time.. like early teens siblings were roughly the same age... and my dad busted out pay stubs, and busted out documentation for the HMO or whatever its called that was offered. He busted out the calculator and wrote it down put it all in kids terms simplified, and just said I'm sorry but you see it in black and white this is why you can't have health care.

And so unless me and my sibliings broke bones and went to the ER we didn't see doctors. Other than paying $15 in the gym to get cleared for a physical to play sports high school that was it.

And I'm sorry, but based on those circumstances... us being in the wealthiest country in the world... and of course LOVING our veterans... and not only a vet but a combat vet, and LOVING our prized school teachers even more we price families like mine be priced out of even having the most basic shitty medical care? Please tell me how that is right? Thats a fact that's how I grew up.
