5. Emergency Room
Wed Jan 4, 2017, 01:58 PM
Jan 2017

Of all the stupid arguments they make, saying that people all the people have access to health care, emergency rooms can't deny service is one of the dumbest of them all. I know a friend who is struggling financially, and has no insurance. She has been to the emergency room three times in the past year to get care. I would imagine one of those visits cost enough to pay for insurance for a year for her.

I give up, for the first time in my life I have absolutely no faith that the future will be better than today.


Peace
