"Free" health care!

I wonder how many of you have had to live without health insurance? You say that health care is not a right? NO WONDER! You have always had a place for the bills to go other then your mailbox! How many of you have ever asked what the actual cost of your prescriptions are? Do the math! Do you have any idea what it is like to call around from doctor to doctor trying to find one who would see you WITHOUT insurance? Have you ever stood at your doctor office and humbly asked for samples instead of a prescription because u know that your $360 check wont stretch enough to cover your $280 med bill AND the doctor appt. Don't even mention medicaid! If you make enough money to buy food and scrape by...you do not qualify.

Go ahead and be technical but if you ever run into some bad luck you will see things in an entirely different light!

I know plenty, not including on this board. FYI, liberals can be found on both Dem, Repub and Indep parties.

And I know a majority of welfare recipients (who are staunch lib Dems) in the neighborhood in which I live. There's maybe one or two who are Repub who I know are using welfare as a stepping stone to get into the work force. Can't say the same for the Dems, though.

But hey, lots of canadians are going to the US (Florida in particular) to retire.. Warm weather.. For some reasons, us Quebecers do so even more...

What you describe is what a majority of Americans do, even with dental and health insurance. That's called *life's realities*.
