Yeah, sometimes, life kinda sucks.

The solution is not to drive up costs for everyone, that's a long-term way to make sure no one has health insurance.

The solution is to do what people used to do, that is, ask your neighbors, family, friends to help cover your costs. Healthcare is not a right; a doctor is not your slave, nor are your neighbors, if you get cancer.
