Oh for pete's sake. That isn't logical.

The reality of life is that many of us worked hard to get the best insurance, hopefully for the rest of our lives and now because of overcharging by medical facilities and just plain abuse of all systems, things aren't very nice anymore. We used to not pay ANYTHING and now the costs keep creeping up. I would LOVE to have the three of us included in The Villages Health System but they don't take our very good insurance. I think that when UCF pulled out, that was a game changer. You can blame them, or blame the Morse family for not being able to pull a good plan off, but we all need to face the scary reality of health care becoming socialized. Not good in my opinion...since we worked hard to try to avoid that, saved and sacrificed. If you have breast cancer in Europe, you may wait for three months to be treated, but everyone is included in the health care.
