It costs me nothing to see a Dr., I'm covered under my
wife's insurance. Most responsible people that work have
insurance.

We are back in Oregon as of yesterday but before flying
north we went
to see a doctor in Suva, Fiji for a complete physical.
The cost,
including a two day stay in waterfront hotel, was less
than $500 US.

If we were here for that same procedure it would have cost
us...
aaahhhh... one-hell-of-a-lot-more! The last time I saw a
doctor in
the U.S. (2003) I think I spent $45 just to walk in the
door and then
I had to wait for an hour just to say hello. After that,
the money
machine was ringing up for every question I asked. Blood
tests were
unaffordable without insurance and even then it was a
push.

With all that said, I must confess that we have spent a
considerable
amount of money to get to Fiji. New main sail, auto
pilot, packing
gland, drive shaft, exhaust riser and all the other crap
that blows
out on a long run in the Pacific. Still, it was a good
experience to
meet Dr. Ali in Suva who became our friend the minute we
walked in the
door. We look forward to seeing him again in April.

Fair winds,

What about the responsible people who don't work or whose employers don't offer insurance?

They get their own ins. , or pay as they go. If they're
responsible, like you wrote, they don't need to steal from
the rest of us.

Why does someone who makes minimun wage have children? And why should
we pay for them?

Scotty, listen to me. Your wife's employer pays for the insurance.
That's money that he could be paying your wife. Therefore it still
comes out of her paycheck.
