‘You Mean I Could Actually Get Some Health Care?’

I’ve been to a doctor about 10 times in the last 20 years of my life [not counting my midwife or dentist].

I don’t run to a doc for every sniffle or sore throat. We pay in cash when we do visit a doc. Maybe we are just lucky *knocks on wooden head* but, we just don’t get sick that often! I look young for my age [or for ANY age]. I’ve had people ask me if I was my daughter’s *YOUNGER* sister. My husband still jokes that I have an ‘aging’ painting of me hidden somewhere in our house. :lol:

When I tried to ‘off’ myself in 2007, the E.R. overnight cost was around $2,500.00 and we paid it in full within a 6 month span. That bill that showed up each month was a painful reminder of how ‘stupid’ I was for trying to take my own life.

Anyway, I don’t want ‘health insurance’. THAT should be a choice too. Being forced to choose health insurance at all is NOT a CHOICE.
