Yeah I am verry glad I am living in a civilized country - where I got the help I was in need of - when I needed it most - I doubt I would have managed on my own if I had continued to be home - hoping to get well.... And the doctors was telling me, in not so many words, that my kidney was in a BAD shape when I got to the hospital....
One day, maybe even the you have access to universal health care as the civilized world have it - it might take time to do it - but our universal health care was building up one block at the time - From the first laws in the late 1800s, to the full universal health care system of the 1950s and 1960s it took time for it all.. Your ACA is one brick in the right direction - but it will take a long time before universal health care is as regular in the US, as it is elsewhere I'm afraid..
Mostly because many is afraid about what it could do for the US - the fear of federal programs - even if it is to the better of everyone is strong in the US this times - and the media are just making this fear stronger and stronger as times go... If they just know.....
