My mom and my brother were in and out of the hospital for years, due to manic-depressive. The bills were enormous and it took my dad the better part of 2 decades to pay them down. I was the 4th kid and there was no money for me to go to college - I got there entirely on my own. It was tough times. But we didn't go begging to the government for help!
I don't advocate going to the governmet for help either. I'm just wondering what the answer is for the ruinous cost of health care.
Just don't dare get sick, is what occurs to me.
