If your family never needs it, good for you.

  yep.

  nationally available health care shouldn't be an
issue in such a rich society.  especially when one
accident or illness can get you into trouble and
when you are in trouble you are vulnerable to all
sorts of other issues (like being unconscious where
you can't give or withhold consent).

  let alone if you look at how much overhead all
those different systems and companies impose on the
same services and all that paperwork and duplicated
computer systems and layers of regulations for each
state and etc. etc.  well it isn't any big surprise
that we pay more for less.  but don't mention those
facts to Leo as he'll go into right wing rabid orbit.
