    A staggering 1 in 7 people in Georgia don't have any health insurance at all and conservative politicians refuse to expand Medicare. 17% of residents said they've badly needed to see a doctor in the past 12 months and just cannot afford it.

        Idk how you could boasts to be the greatest country in the world and most of your citizens can’t afford to do something as basic as see a doctor or get an annual check up! All politics aside this is just unacceptable

        Just because that “staggering 99.9%” believes universal is too expensive to sustain doesn’t actually mean it is.

        Conservative rhetoric: I should not have to pay for other people's bad decisions. I've had many say this to me, most of them claiming to be Christians. We are in a sad state in the US right now.

        Unfortunately this can't work for everyone, every where. I would normally agree to go anyway, but many states have garnishment laws and such so medical facilities can file to have it deducted from your pay check, just like taxes and child support. That can hurt even more.

        I completely agree with you. Something has to give. We need to change our healthcare system. We're on the same page. Just keep in mind, some states can issues garnishment orders. It would sit on their record like child support and siphon their income as soon as they get some.

        I hear ya! I guess that might be a deterrent for some. Me? Not so much. I'd rather be here and have a garnishment order, than not be here. I don't believe one should live a fear based life. Sometimes you just have to choose you. There's always gonna be bullies & monsters lurking!

        I feel the same way you do now. It took me a bit of my life experience to get there. Maybe that's where it is, experience of going through stuff and having to weigh the benefits...

        When I got Medicare with my SSDI I purchased a supplement for abt $150/mo to cover my medical bills, plan F pays for everything. I found out that the same plan I pay for in OR costs $1300/mo in GA. I can’t imagine how I would cope with my health issues in Georgia.
