And don't you think that's a horrible situation to be in? It's completely foreign to me that there exists a first-world country where you need to bar your child from certain activities solely due to concerns over potential medical costs. That's not a criticism of your parents - their decision was completely logical in the circumstances. It's just a fundamental flaw in the US system.

If you’re not in the upper class or extremely poor class in the US, there is no safety net, so if you want any chance of clawing your way up to having the various securities of life, you have to play it safe.
