“Nobody dies in this country due to a lack of insurance.”
Exactly!
Go check out the emergency rooms where many uninsured like to go instead of the doctor’s office, less wait time and no co-pay.
And don’t get me started about paying 50 cents - $1 for their prescriptions. You would think you asked them to fund your vacation instead of paying a tiny portion of their own medication!
Years ago when I was in my 20s I needed a hospital stay and had no insurance. What the billing department did was helped me to apply for medicaid which was expected to be denied but it gave the hospital cover to write my treatment off on their taxes.
