This about sums it up

I am!!! My monthly premiums cost triple what my mortgage does AND pays for nothing as our deductible and out of pocket limits are each in the thousands.

My daughter's doctor visits (should call them nurse visits as we seldom see a doctor, guess that must cost millions instead of mere thousands?) are now covered at 80% as an ER visit cost us enough to hit the insurance limits on her.

I am the only member of my generation on either side of my immediate family with medical insurance at all. My brother's and inlaws' lives will likely be cut short because of it (BIL has heart failure that could not be treated at 59, SIL and brother both possibly have cancer going undiagnosed, other SIL has diabetes but cannot treat without affordable insulin).

All of this and I had a "good" corporate job with "great" insurance (PhD and medical degrees). If it's this dire in my upper middle class family, what are those with less suffering? It's unbelievable! We work(ed) hard and always paid in full and on time, never abusing our policies. Now four out of five of us are not wealthy enough to deserve to live? What crime did we commit to deserve this?

If this is a "great" America, those responsible can shove it!

The American people around me have been taught that they do not deserve healthcare and also that it would cost too much. They think that if Bernie or someone like him was POTUS at this moment we would have instant Socialism and resent that healthcare would come out of a common till. Then they turn red and damned near explode to claim that illegals should not have heathcare. Many of these people are so ignorant that they think Mexicans come here and within 6 months are drawing Social Security. It simply is not so and never was so. Most of them also think that marriage grants an immigrant citizenship. This is not so either. Citizenship and marriage are separate issues and one does not bestow the other.
