    As a millennial that went bankrupt and lost their house because of medical bills I have to ask. First time?

      Don’t ya see? It wasn’t a problem until it affected them personally. “Something, something avocado toast.”

        Pre-ACA it was even worse. Watch Michael Moore’s documentary “Sicko”.

          It’s still wild to me that much of the country won the barest of minimum healthcare standards (compared to other modern nations) just because one Republican had the smallest bit of morality and broke the tie with a ‘yes’ vote, putting the ACA into effect and earning Obama and McCain eternal hatred for their troubles. We are truly lost…

      I’m going to go to the doctor for the first time in 20 years in 2025. Am frightened.
