If you were stuck in the middle of nowhere and ran out of petrol, would you expect someone to come along and give you a few free gallons? Of course not! Even if you are a member of the AA/RAC, you still have to pay for the stuff.
I think that healthcare should be paid for. Members of the medical profession have to study for years to get their qualifications; why shouldn't they be rewarded for it. Lawyers are, and you normally have to pay for their services as well.

OK, I'll use myself as an example:-
Age 40. Worked since graduating aged 21. Last year diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease. Aged 39, told I will never work again because of said degenerative incurrable disease. If l was in America, unless l had enough money for treatment for the rest of my life, or a very inclusive health insurance [most aren't for long term diseases, check the small print,] I would be up the proverbial creek.
Doctor's trained in this country do have tha choice to work in the private sector, so that point is -pointless!
Wishing l could go and get a job, and wishing you many years of good health Vorlon24.
