Hi All,

I can't imagine not having medical coverage.  Since Jim and I have been 
married, we have had to have surgery for his colitis, the birth of our 
babies and one was early and a number of other medical expenses.  It 
seems like we always have medical bills throughout the year and most 
years we meet our out of pocket deductible.  Heck, this year we meet it 
in March when our oldest went in to get his tonsils out.  If we didn't 
have insurance it would have cost us 8,000 and that is just for a few 
hours of surgery!  I agree that the US needs to do something, because it 
just seems to be getting worse but I'm not sure universal coverage like 
other countries is exactly what we need.  Medicine is the other spot 
that can get you too.  It just seems anymore that we are all a nation of 
insurance poor people, wether it be car, house, health or life.  Some 
could probably be done without, but most are needed or demanded by 
states (such as car insurance to get car plates/licenses).
