Also you have remember what it was like before health insurance.
First it pumped a shitload of money into the medical industry which brought innovation.
Second before that your doctor lived in the same neighborhood, his wife was his nurse and he worked out of his house.
If you were really sick it was go home and die.
Until Reagan signed the law in 1986 where hospitals couldnt turn you down. If you had no money they could send you away or demanded the money up front. In the sixties my aunt had an Appendicitis which could of killed her. My Uncle had to come up with $800 quick or they weren't doing the surgery and she would of been fucked.
So it wasnt all roses before health insurance happened.
