Friend, the family no longer exists like it did like then. For one thing, in the 30’s most had family somewhere on a farm. Now? Few do.

As for medical, who will pay for it? Do you know how much the charge is for a baby? A check up? Anything? If we had to pay out of pocket, there would be little to no health care.

——As for medical, who will pay for it?——

We will, as we do now. It will be fee-for-service, as it used to be, rather than third-party payment, as it is now. Prices would drop significantly.

But extraordinary care will probably be unaffordable, in most cases. I don’t see any better path.

If few have money to pay for healthcare, doctors will___

Charge remaining customers 5 time normal rates?
Pout and stop practicing?
Adapt and take food, guns, ammo in trade for health care?

I’d hate to be a lawyer seeking health care in a post SHTF scenario.
