it's called birth!

We all start to age once we're born. Some better than others. Will broken legs prevent you from getting coverage if you fell once as a kid? How about your eyes? Is getting old and losing your focus a pre-existing condition? Of course it is. We grow up and we grow old. We get the flu. We get colds. We get glasses and some of us hearing aids. Some of us have carpal tunnel too from repetitive motion careers. What are we supposed to do? Pay 12000 a year for premiums that reject every treatment we get? Why bother.

Make health care part of being human and why is it that every other first world country 'GETS THAT' except the USA.
A healthy citizenry is a healthy nation, economically, emotionally and culturally.

One can dream right?
