This is desperation. We are #37 for health care. My sister-in-law has to walk on a huge swollen knee and can hardly work. My brother had to pay a huge amount for three months of health care for his family so she can possibly get it taken care of. My son's girlfriend has no health care and for a long time, neither did he. We are middle class and employed but should we be laid off (my husband and/or I), we would no longer be covered. We will not be old enough for Medicare for quite awhile and are not even sure it will be around. Where else in the developed (or less developed) world is this the case? And any time there is any kind of plan to help remedy this, wingnuts scream "Socialism!" They are glad to pay taxes for the wars that break us, but not a cent for health care. They don't even want the richest people to pay. At the same time they go on about being "pro-life" - what a joke.
