It is more expensive, relatively speaking. But if your kid falls down and breaks their arm, you'd better pray you have witnesses or the Social Serpents will try to have you arrested for abuse and your children 'placed'.

You are correct inasmuch as medical care was affordable due capitalism, competition, no international pharmaceutical companies jerking around the costs of medications, but in those days the government wasn’t telling us how to live our lives as they are today, and THAT in itself is a major reason for todays cultural collapse.

Stitches and broken bones were just part of life when I was a kid...today they are parental trauma inducing disasters!

Mrs Fella a d I grew up in the 50s and 60s and raised our kids in 70s and 80s. To this day when when we’re driving and have to brake hard we throw our right hand out in the kid catcher move.
