For the first 21 years of my life I knew the horror of socialist health care and my parents have known 50 years of socialist heath care right here in the United States.
I was a military brat.
My mother gave birth to four children and never saw a bill.
My younger brother was born with a severe birth defect and spent most of the year of his life in the socialist heath care system offered by the military. Soon after his birth when his birth defect became apparent the Navy recalled a Neurologist to active duty and stationed him in Pensacola so he could treat my brother. He was discharged when my parents were taking my brother to a paid for hospice in North Texas (he passed away on the trip).
The only one that ever got between my mother and a doctor was the nurse who tried to downplay my brothers symptoms before he was diagnosed but that proved futile due to my mother's insistence that my brother had a major problem.
I had 8 broken bones on 6 occasions and my parents never saw a bill for the treatments. On one occasion I chipped a piece of my kneecap in a auto accident. The civilian doctor at the emergency room failed to find a problem, but after two weeks on crutches the military hospital's staff found it and treated me properly.
After my father's retirement my mother spent a week in two hospitals dealing with a gall stone. The local hospital didn't diagnose it, but the Air Force hospital properly found the problem and dealt with it.
My father wasn't one to use the medical system until he went on Medicare. At 65 he was diagnosed with lymphoma after a tonsillectomy. He never had a problem with getting chemotherapy.
Within the last two years my father had several bouts with infections but he had an advanced directive on file so the hospital sent him home as soon as possible.
My father passed at home soon after last Christmas. He met his only great grand daughter on his last day of life when we had a complete family gathering a couple of days after Christmas.
My father spent his entire life under government health care and never had a problem. My mother has spent over 50 years under government health care and the only complaint was against one nurse.
We need to get insurance companies out of health care since they are the ones preventing the government from fulfilling it's Constitutional mandate to "provide for the ... general Welfare".
