That's why you see so many people putting off going to the dr. because they don't have insurance. They suffer through whatever is ailing them till they go to the ER, or die. If you go to the ER (emergency room), they almost have to treat you, esp if they are slow and in the middle of the night. ObamaCare is (as far as I know) is still in place. This is a program that if you make less than $50K a year, you qualify for "some" healthcare, at almost no cost to you. It's not the best insurance, and if they see you are on ObamaCare, you go to the back of the line. It's a fucked up system. But we pay the premium to get good health care. Property taxes suck (and we own everything outright) . We pay taxes on money we make only to pay taxes on that money we spend,... again, a fucked up system. We pay taxes to the City ,County State, and the Feds... and that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you own something (like you property) you still have to pay (this is just us) $3000 USD a year just to keep the bastards from sending your property to auction. You never really "own" anything in the USA. They got you by the balls.
