Not me personally but a close friend of mine is close to bankruptcy and losing his home because of necessary health care that he had to pay for out of his pocket while he was insured. The strain of paying out of pocket costs has destroyed him financially.
I know very few people that put forth more effort or that work harder and yet he loses ground every week as he is overwhelmed by the financial burden place on him by the health care system.
He built his home himself and had it paid for and had to re mortgage to pay health care expenses. All while supposedly insured.
It's unforgivable and shameful that the most prosperous nation on earth ruins people's lives on a regular basis because needed health care is practically unobtainable and insurance companies make obscene profits.
