Been there, done that!

When I retired after 20 years in the Army, I no longer had heath insurance for my family. When my new civilian job could barely pay for rent and food, health care became a risk.

When my daughter got injured and needed immediate care, we took her to the local hospital. She got the care that was required.

Yes, we had to pay for that care, but it was there for my daughter when she needed it the most.

Funny story:
A few years later, first wife and I got divorced. My fantastic second wife for 23 years now, was the NURSE THAT TOOK CARE OF MY DAUGHTER that day!

Even when I did not have insurance, medical care has always been there when I or my family needed it.

The only debate is rather simple:
Who pays for it?
