31. try being totally uninsured and see the care that you get . . .
My 10 year old son broke his toe, I mean hanging off the foot broken, it was awful! We took him to the ER and they x rayed him and then wanted to take him to surgery to set his toe. The Dr. saw that we did not have insurance so he decided to manually set my son's toe back in place without anestetic. It took four nurses to hold him down and you could have heard that child's screams all over the hospital. I vowed that never again would any of my family be treated that way, insurance or not. Any of these people who don't want the goverment in their health care should have been there that day and saw how my little boy was treated because he didn't have health insurance. Our present medical care system is inhumane.
