47 million Americans without health insurance |
|
1 in 6 American children in poverty.
Bogged down in a military occupation on the other side of the world.
Why the fuck you gotta "seek the truth"? It's in plain fucking sight already.

Ever since I was job-eliminated, I can't afford the monthly premiums, let alone the co-payments.

7. My son and his family filed for bankruptcy because of medical |
|
bills they couldn't meet. They had insurance under Wells Fargo but the deductibles and the co-pays when health problems arose did them in. They were lucky to keep their house.

10. I still owe $1000 on medical bills from 3 years ago |
|
and I had semi-decent insurance at the time. By the time I figured out that I need to declare bancruptcy, it was too late, the rules had changed. I'm glad your family managed to stay put, and get out of the hole. :hug:

6. It infuriates me that bushbots thinks anyone can walk into |
|
a health care facility and will have their health care needs met. It's a total fallacy.

9. Nor will they receive health care free |
|
It's a bushbot buy-off-their conscience thing that adults will be treated without insurance or means to pay the bill. This is a lie.
