Now I didn't jump into this thread earlier because, heck, I know who the conservatives are on Mudcat so I didn't figgure I needed to check in but I just did and there seems to9 be some discussion about health care in America.

Well, it's great if you are part of the elite. It's good if you're a memebr of the upper middle class. But then it drops quickly.

MY dad died three months ago. He was a member of the middle class and at age 88 (Bless his heart...) he got cancer and spent 4 of his last 8 days on a gurney in then hall of the emergency room at the local hospital. Well, one could say, "Like, so what, Bobert? That's normal."

Well, my dad died in Luodoun County< Va. which is the 3rd richest county in the US! So, I'm thinking to myself: "Man, if this is the way in the cradle of prosperity, what's it like elsewhere?".
