My grandparents had homes like that: one set a baker and secretary, the other an electrician and SAHM. American cars in the driveway, kids sent to college debt free, and vacations at the shore, with occasional weekend getaways. And I NEVER heard complaints about healthcare costs. NEVER.

This country has really gotten off track.
