All you really need is a simple country doctor, with a black bag and a stethoscope!
What drugs is this guy taking?
Medical treatment has progressed a wee bit past the 1920's, and all of our great, sophisticated healthcare costs big bucks....very big bucks.
The biggest reason why the Affordable Health Care Act was instituted was because private insurance was too expensive, and quick to drop patients that had expensive health issues.
A lot of people had to choose between paying the rent and putting food on the table versus paying for necessary, expensive medical treatment. Medically induced bankruptcy was common.
Tim Sheehy wants to bring back the bad old days.
