Aren't these the same older Americans who keep voting for people who promise to abolish any attempts at improving the American healthcare debacle?
Needing to use insurance or state care on a regular basis for normal care is symptom of a disease, that the system is so over regulated a normal person can't just pay cash for regular care like I can do in Mexico. When you can buy a Z-pak or penicillin OTC with a yo quero you've reached the first level of medical nirvana.
I make a good wage but in USA with good insurance it would take me a days pay for same here after passing all the regulatory hurdles and costs and being billed for a doctor and that doctors malpractice risk overhead etc ad nauseum.
