The government has really screwed up healthcare. I pay way more for less coverage since the ACA went into effect. We were supposed to pay less and have better coverage according to the lies.

My wife was born in Canada, so she has real experience with government healthcare. She got to see how nationalized healthcare gets pared out based on your age, risk, the potential expense of treatment vs. the future taxes received from the patient. She got to see her god-mother get diagnosed with cancer and delay after delay until she was dead.

There's nothing in the Constitution about the federal government being involved in 90% (I'm being generous) of the stuff they're involved in. Insurance should be left up to the states.

It used to be that if you didn't have money, including healthcare coverage, you could go to the county hospital for treatment.

Sorry to hear about your acquaintance's death.
