visit the website "gofundme". 80-90% of the initiatives there are for medical bills. Obviously Obamacare is a net negative, but it's still sad how we get all theoretical and ideological when talking about it, as if the entire crisis is abstract, while in reality people are really hurting.

but the entire crisis is abstract. Any problem can be solved with the right combination of talking points. Liberty! Equality! Forward!

It is sad. A country this advanced and wealthy, with this much quality medical care, should not have anyone being financially ruined over a health issue.

Is getting a breast implant considered a medical need?

You don't write health insurance policy because "people are hurting." No amount of money will ever change that reality.

The Coverage Gap: Uninsured Poor Adults in States that Do Not Expand Medicaid


This is why there are so many uninsured adults in Louisiana still - Bobby Jindal refused to expand Medicaid (and they will STILL vote Republican, can you fricking believe it)?

I don't want to live in a country where we all have to pay for everybody's healthcare.

Eta: I know we do in some respects.
