It just makes me wonder what has gone wrong these last 80 years. This great experiment of letting the government take care of you has failed.

This women is a single women, I don't know her sitiuation. Where the hell!, is the father of this child?, yes this may sound horrible!, but I nor anybody else should have to pay for her kid.

This happens all of the time, 80 years ago, your family had to take care of you. Or you had to go to the church, this is pathetic! that people have to rely on the government for everything. Yes insurance companies are charging a ridiculous amount, but look at all of the bearaucracy that the government has put them through.

We have become a nation of "ask what the government can do for us", instead of, "ask not what your government can do for you, but what you can do for your government".
We should of taught people to fish, instead of giving them the fish.
This country now is full of people who want hand outs, instead of a hand up.
I guess in your world people would wait in bread lines and infant mortality would skyrocket. I guess in your world insurance companies wouldn't fuck anyone over if left to their own devices. You clearly only care about your own situation. What you forget about 80 years ago is that many doctors worked in their communities for FREE. Something you'd almost never see anymore. Health care is big business and giving something for "free" doesn't jive with that.
