We can discuss this further.During WW II, and into the early 1950s the national socialist fascist Democrats (Truman and FDR) illegally froze all wages in the US. In order to offer potential employees incentives, companies began offering non-wage compensation - like health insurance. Prior to WW II very few people had any kind of health insurance. It has only been since the late 1940s and 1950s when health insurance became a thing that people wanted. Then Democrats destroyed that in 1965 when they created the unconstitutional MediCare/MedicAid that deliberately uncut the healthcare market.
Since I was then a child, I have the memories of my childhood as a child. Mom was the family bookkeeper and was not a whiner. My first dad was in short, a bum.
Mom was not a silent mom. I recall when she discussed a large for the time, hospital bill Dad (2) paid to get her out of the hospital.
She was headed to Sacramento on a heavy traveled road and a state legislator hit her car from the rear and she was hospitalized for 3 weeks.
Dad earned maybe $6,000 per year and the bill he paid was $10,000 appx, or more than a years income.
She sued the congressman of CA and the ruling by the court favored the lawmaker.
Anyway, though she did not discuss with me the payments to the hospital for my surgery (Tonsils and Adenoids removed) she did discuss the huge bill.
When you can get hurt severely by a state lawmaker and he is deemed innocent, it says medical care is only cared for Democrats who do not understand the philosophy of Ayn Rand.
