Everyone has always had access to healthcare since the 40s at least to
my personal knowledge. You might think that black people in the South
did not - BUT THEY DID. They might get cut up on Saturday night but
they got treatment. I don't know exactly where they went but I still
don't see any in doctor's offices now - what has changed?
Go back to 1900 and people often medicated themselves because there
was no doctor or hospital near their rural community. But people can
still point out where the old doctorr's house was and he made house
calls - even in my youth.
Now if you want opiods go to different doctors and get hooked with
multiple prescriptions. I threw more than half my hydrocodone away
after bypass surgery because I was scared of it. It was better to hurt
just a little. I used to think everybody did that.
Health care was affordable in the 40s - you paid with vegetables if
you didn't have cash. If you had neither you still got treated.
Doctors offices were a doctor and a nurse.Now they are a doctor, nurse
and about 5 people to do government paper work.
Doctors are shortening their work week, limiting new patients
especially government insured and forming groups in the large cities
for a regular monthly fee to make house calls 24/7/365. You pay cash
up front and file personally if you have insurance.
The problem with so many people now is they think they invented the
wheel when all they are doing is trying to find a better shape than
round.
Those were the good old days - the problem is that people can't handle
them anymore. People like me have raised the screwup generation.
Why is it a lie? I have called him a liar about his military service
and he has yet to prove he isn't. I don't think he can run far enough
to hide.
I appreciate you asking in such a non-confrontational way that I could
respond without overly abusing anyone.
