Yes it is a very big issue.

I just heard on the news that the US has the highest number of people, in all the developed countries, without insurance. It's very sad, some people don't go to the doctor because they don't want it to break their struggling bank account.

don't know what THE answer is... but.... those struggling here in the US know something has to change.

I tried to get my own health insurance, checked through 10 different companies --9 denied, only ONE would accept me(that's if I pay enormous premiums-- $600 monthly-- which I can't afford) because I have hypothroid and endometriosis. (I'm on the slim side for my height so my weight was not an issue... and the only meds I take is my thyroid meds)

It's sad that a country will let some of their people go without help because they don't fit into any of the "government" catagories.

Just don't know what the answer is....
