    This is like the conservative mantra “… now that it’s affecting me personally.”

        Not really, no “conservative mantra” intended. Quite the opposite… I was just charged thousands of dollars recently to fix my tooth even though I had insurance, not long after being charged other thousands for an unfortunate accident where I broke my leg.

        The American healthcare system has no problem bankrupting you or me.
