the system ain't broke, you must question those who still want to fix it... especially when the changes make them the gatekeepers of public health.

No, i don’t know anyone who has been turned away. However, I do know people who have incurred medical bills so high that their personal credit was ruined for 20 years. I know people who have put off going to the doctor when they were really ill because they couldn’t afford it. These are just two signs that the system is broke -- people shouldn’t have to incur life changing debt or risk their health because they do not have the advantage of health care.
