Huh? People I know that don't have insurance go to urgent care instead of the emergency room unless it's life or death. Cheap and quick. Their regular doctors give them free samples for antibiotics or other temp drugs, usually enough to complete the prescribed course. I see giant drugs stores as often as gas stations nowadays. Wal-Mart and Costco even sell drugs. No shortage in my area. I've seen random doctors in between insurance plans and it's $50-$100 a visit. It cost that much 20 years ago. > Unless we change something. > > As I always harp on, the solution is NOT the government contrary to > the "government knows best" philosophy of the neo-cons and liberal > democrats.

You're the one that want's the government to tell you what car to drive. > A well regulated market in combination with a safety net for the > un/under-insured is the solution.
