There is a significant jump in quality between a bike-shaped object at Walmart and a name-brand kid’s bike at your local bicycle shop. There is also a significant jump in price.

My first bike shop job, we had an old crazy guy who scooted around town on his draisienne (read: a regular bike with a big ol' wooden dowel in place of the crankset). Not sure it really caught on.

Regardless of whether or not you agree with any specific definition, the state of US healthcare is such that half of all spending needs to be subsidized in one form or another. To remove even the paltry billions that may fit under a strict

That's not the question I asked, but you're still heading down the road to being incorrect. The fact is that charitable giving, need-based aid, philanthropic donations, government assistance, and other forms of subsidy fund *rough

Do you not agree that charity/philanthropy is already an essential part of the US healthcare strategy?

No one is making the claim that the cost of service would be $0. Quite obviously. What you can't be sure of is the real cost in terms of resources, and how that would be accounted and paid for. The price of your childrens' stay,

Without assuming the specifics as you do, it’s possible and entirely believable that any buffer was wiped out by the husband’s business. Access to credit could also be affected. As long as we’re throwing anecdotes, access to forbearance and

I'd imagine you'd struggle to find a healthcare system in which a doctor's prescribed care is assuredly covered by insurance, by the insurance provider, and then later rescinded after care has already started.
