Hooray!! It sucks when you have to choose between seeing the doctor/dentist and paying the rent.
I still think it is bizarre that our nation has accepted the idea that we must purchase INSURANCE individually in order to get medical care. “Health insurance” is the term that is most often used in debates and policy discussions, and it produces a bias toward a corporate system for providing health care (and an inefficient one at that). Perhaps we can reframe this by describing the issue as “people needing access to health care,” not insurance.
I hope you have a fantastic and healthy year, Susie.
Congratulations!

Well, step one completed. Onward into the fray.
