I've been gradually coming to the realization that what I'd been thinking of as a fairly comfortable living is, in fact, just barely scraping by. The big trigger for this was having to borrow Thousands of dollars from my Mom after my teeth got broken, because I have no Insurance. I'm looking into Washington Basic Health, but even that's going to be tough to fit in.

Health Care is one of the reasons that I will not vote for Hillary Clinton. Her "Health Care Plan" basically just consisted of making it illegal to be without Health Insurance.

Toss in the fact that most of the people who have crunched the numbers have concluded that Nationalized Health Care is cheaper for all involved, and our current system just doesn't make any sense.

I think the billing system is designed to confuse you so they can screw you out of more money as well. I mean hey, it worked for the phone companies, right?

Overall, the fact that people with decent jobs and no dependents are still often barely making ends meet is another sign that something is seriously wrong with how our economic system is set up.
