Our healthcare is out of control. Our government, instead of doing something about it, is bickering like old ladies in a retirement home.
I have a friend of mine who works in law enforcement for a state government office for the past fourteen years. Every year she makes less money - pay raises have been frozen for eight years now, and every year her healthcare goes up.
Another one of my friends works in construction. His wife has full time health issues that cannot be cured and requires monthly treatment. Their son has a similar health issue that will effect him for the rest of his life, and will require constant medical care. Over half of his salary goes to healthcare because they have "pre existing conditions" and cannot change out healthcare providers.
This is fucking insane.
