I'm a living example of why we need healthcare reform

Sorry to hear of your situation. That's horrible. To see how it works in other countries:

The brother of a friend in Spain was on his way to work on his motorcycle when he was hit by a drunk driver. Smashed his whole right side -- arm and leg. They took him immediately to a very fine hospital, where he was stabilized in the ER, put in a private room, and underwent 17 surgeries, many of them to rebuild his shattered arm, over the next two months. Then, to rehab, and then finally, back to work.

Cost to him for ambulance, ER, surgeries, docs, hospital stay, and rehab = $0.


And he received his full salary the whole time.

Yeah, we're number one.
