Over the 30 years before Obama care, medical insurance costs had gotten out of the reach of a middle class, blue collar worker. If you got it through your employer, insurance costs ate up your pay increases. In 1966, I spent a week in ECM hospital, the cost was $27 per day. To be fair, most of it was observation, not treatment. Also, before Obama care, a 62 year old man and his wife, in North Carolina I think, had a policy they liked for $127 per month. That's BS. You just can't buy it that cheap.
How do you know they couldn't buy it that cheap? So because someone says no and doesn't jump up with a plan means you slops bulldoze the train wreck obamadon'tcare through anyway? A pregnant woman was taken to B'ham for her baby to have life saving surgery while in the womb. She was kept in the hospital until the baby was born, given a place to stay in B'ham while the baby was in the hospital for weeks. They were brought home and her house was decked out with all sorts of machines and nurses coming in day and night to monitor the baby's progress. How many hundreds of thousands of dollars do you think that cost? The parents didn't pay a dime. Today, with that wonderful obamadon'tcare, and up to a $14,000 or more deductibles they would be up **** creek. Yet still you defend it. Yes, I wish you had to have it pushed on you like the slops pushed it on the other folks.
