Can you imagine ANYONE in your family getting health care without being insured?

I'm a civilian. Six years ago I was going through pains due to gallstones. I went to the ER over and over without insurance. They did nothing but run test and run up my bill. After 10 ER visits, I decided that my next visit would be to my Doc even though I felt like the pain was an emergency and I needed ER attention I was tired of getting nowhere and knew my Doc would not allow this to go on. So extreme pain came and I went to the Doc, she said I had gangrene and needed surgery due to a ruptured gall bladder. This could have been prevented. When the ER bills came in I refused to pay and made threats because they ignored my medical needs simply because I had no insurance. I didn't hear from them again. Hum??? I paid my Doc and all involved in the surgery. Yes, it took a few years and they were very kind in working out a payment plan. The whole issue here is no one should go without health care. There should and will be health care for those who need it at the time they need it. Many uninsured put off going because they know they will not receive the care they need, just a band-aid. Many times the result is an untimely death. Would you want your Parents, Children, any family member being denied health care simply because they do not have insurance or money? That's really what it boils down to. So what's the big deal about going in once or twice a year for a health care evaluation? Why are so many trying to unravel something so simple. Do you have any idea how many guided students will be there to look over your health care needs? Imagine...
