Obamacare Bike Pat Bagley I've been healthy all my life. (knock on wood!) I really haven't had to use my insurance save for yearly check up and one seriously stupid cooking incident.
I am a firm believer in preventative medicine. I try to eat right and exercise, (although sometimes a chocolate raspberry almond concrete's siren call has me crashing against the rocks, but I don't crash too often. Sometimes, I'd rather sit on the deck and watch the birds than walk my dogs, but they whine a lot, so I give in).
I have health insurance. I always have. This is my reality. But, for many, for whatever reason, this is not their reality. I want the reality for every member of my society, all 311 million of us, to have access to health care. I know it's complicated, it's expensive, it's political, but let's figure it out, for all of us.
