(9,933 posts)Please don't respond to any more of my posts. Ever. I don't want to talk to you. I write you a response telling you people are still going bankrupt, still paying thousands in out of pocket fees despite paying for health care and you are so delusional you twist that into thinking I'm asking for something for free. People in the US still pay more than anywhere else in the world and do not get the same quality of care. People who are poor pay more than those who are wealthy because they have no one to negotiate for them. How is that fair or just? We need single payer here in the US. The Obama administration has made steps in the right direction but it isn't enough and it hasn't all gone into effect.
I'm so glad you've saved money. I personally saved as well but that doesn't change the fact that many of the people I know and worked with for the past 13 years are now unable to find coverage and are being actively denied after our company went bankrupt because the new law has not completely gone into effect. It doesn't change the fact that my aunt and uncle are paying thousands each year in out of pocket expenses despite having health insurance. Just because you are fortunate to have a good life doesn't mean that many more aren't still struggling. I don't understand why you refuse to acknowledge that or think that those less fortunate are somehow doing something wrong. Your insinuation that expecting health insurance to actually cover medical expenses is somehow asking for a handout is insulting in the same way that Romney's 47 percent of the people are moochers asking for a handout is insulting.
