Violence – especially gun violence and murder –is inexcusable and must be punished fully according to the law. What’s also inexcusable is the absolutely sickening, disgusting state of healthcare in this country. It is immoral, unethical, and (if you are religious) sinful.

The **********s who run the healthcare companies in this country ought to be quaking in their boots now for the way they milk innocent citizens of their money and right to healthcare. My bill for the 2014 car accident—admitted to the trauma ER, and then one night in the trauma ward— was $38,000. That’s right, 38 thousand dollars. The cost of a very high-quality car or SUV, or even someone’s salary for a year. I saw the itemizations: $10 for a single pain reliever pill, $30 for the hospital gown, etc. Fortunately, the car insurance covered the whole bill. Not to mention all of the expenses that I have had to pay for healthcare over the decades, when I have had individual plans that denied or didn’t cover so many things that should be covered.

The state of healthcare in this country MUST change. Enough deaths and illnesses due to a lack of- or poor coverage!!
