Susu's Hubby, you don't live in the real world, do you!?

"ya'll talk about wanting the government to take care of you when you get the sniffles."

Sniffles indeed. Five years ago I wound up in the hospital with a severely broken left femur. The surgery alone cost $24,000. And I had to stay in the hospital for close to four weeks while I recuperated and had physical therapy. What the hospital stay and the PT cost, I'm not sure. Other than being told what the surgery cost, I never saw a bill. I'm covered by my wife's group insurance at the Seattle Public Library. Thank God for that!

There are 43,000,000 people in this country who have no health insurance at all.

But what the hell! Let 'em lay there and bleed!

This is the only industrialized country in the world that does not have a national health care service. "Shining city on a hill?" I think not!
