I think that was the cost initially which was why it was so important for the politicians to step in

Health care cost bear no relationship to the people's ability to pay.

I am old enough to remember when families sobbed at the door to get an injured child into a hospital, no cash or insurance no care, it was just the way it was.

I remember giving my father shots of veterinary antibiotics for an infection that wouldn't heal. Fixed him up fine but a sad commentary on the times.
