  1. My family did not have health insurance until my dad got a union job as a saw mill worker when I was 16. When I was in fifth grade, my brother broke his arm, and we got harassed every day for months right at dinner time because the hospital felt that he wasn't paying the bill quickly enough (even though Democrats were still in charge in WV at the time, and it was the law that hospitals had to take any payment no matter how small, as long as you were making an effort to pay). Three weeks later, my mom was told that she needed her gallbladder removed. No hospital would do it without a down payment. Finally, eight months later, she got her surgery, but the gallbladder had become gangrenous. By the grace of God, she is still here. No 11 year old should ever have to worry about his mom dying, and no mother should have to worry about leaving a widower with an 11- and 9-year-old because of a lack of health insurance. This is why I straight up loathe anyone who talks so blithely about how either the free market doesn't kill people who aren't covered or pretend that it is trivial. It's not trivial when it's your family.
