68. People may think I'm crazy, but I feel the same way.

I'm 60 and have lived a good life, and I REFUSE to saddle my husband with thousands of dollars of medical bills. It would bankrupt us and completely demoralize him. (He's already worried sick because they've laid off most of the people in his company.) I've had four surgeries so I know how expensive health care has become.

My husband doesn't know my feelings, and he would vehemently protest if he knew I felt this way. Fortunately, he never reads the DU forum.

You know, I used to believe that we lived in a compassionate country. I no longer feel that way.
