[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just seems wrong that we live in a society where people think twice about taking their child to the doctor or emergency room because they are worried about copays and prescription costs, and meanwhile my hypochondriac older relatives seem to have made 'going to the doctor' into a lifestyle.  I pay a lot of taxes and yet there's not maternity leave, no childcare.  That's apparently a "you problem" whereas senseless wars and viagra for old men are an 'us problem'.  Makes no sense.[/quote]

I'm not really sure where this is coming from. When I was growing up we rarely could afford to go to the doctor. And when it was a must, my mom then had to figure out what bills to put off in order to pay the doctor. [/quote]
the PP is upset that they see these older women who are Bible thumpers and never worked getting "free" healthcare.   The PP doesn't see people like your mom, or my parents, who worked their butts off in blue collar jobs, all while buying a tiny house with double digit mortgage rate.  They live in CA, so yea, their house appreciated.  Why shouldn't they enjoy that?  They certainly worked for it.[/quote]
