I have health insurance through my job - but it's a joke. I went to the doctor last week to do a basic physical and check up, and it cost me over 400.00. I would really love to see an America not held captive by a horrible system that barely works for the ones lucky enough to have it - not to mention how bad it can be for the ones that don't.
I'm all for a European/Canadian Health care system, and mostly for one reason : preventive health care. I can't count all the people who I've known personally who lost either their lives or some huge part of their health because they could not afford to visit a doctor. The sad part is a lot of their hardships now could have been mitigated, if not solved by catching the problem early.
