was. one year my daughter had to have her jaw moved back because her underbite was so far out. If we didn't move her jaw she would eventually have lost all her teeth When you move your jaw back you lose your chin. No Dad is going to have her daughter with no chin. If we said we were going to reconstruct her jaw insurance would have paid nothing. So we had the surgery and I paid out of pocket to rebuild her jaw.
I paid over $25,000 out of pocket for that surgery. That doesn't include my monthly payments.

I know the horror.
That being said i am all for the subsidies but I am against someone asking us to pay so they can travel.

I am really for single payer.
