HEALTHCARE; FREE OR NOT?

These days are filled with talk of the 2020 elections.  Too early you say?  Yes, it is early, but campaigning seems to be the order of the day anymore.  The "Pols" constantly hammer away at the voter with a basket full of promises, none of which he/she expects to keep. This year the "Hot-Button" issue is becoming that of health care.  It seems the "newbies" in congress are rooting for Free health care for all.  Of course they are not talking about the cost of such a venture---they will pick the "money tree", your pocket!
Some fifty plus years ago we began this slide downhill to where we are today.  Until the 1960's seeing your doctor was your business, and the Docs, as well.  When you left the office you recieved a bill at the time or in the mail a few days later.  You, as the patient, paid the bill and filled out the form, sent it to your insurance carrier and got reimbursed.  Everyone involved is happy and life goes on.
We the people, being easy marks for the "snake oil" marketers bought into the idea that someone else would take over the burden of "paying the bill" so one thing lead to another until finally we arrive to this point now; FREE HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!  EGADS!  The "inmates" are loose in THE SWAMP!....Medicineman!
