>>Does your insurance cover 'scripts?
Sure you want to get into this? ;-)
OK: scripts cost a maximum $15, less if you're a frequent user. Oh, and if I travel to Australia or Europe, my healthcare is covered wherever I go at no extra cost. And dental care is free with no insurance up to 18 years of age. And most lab tests are free, and cervical/breast screening is free, as is care during/after pregnancy. Oh, better not leave this out: free contraception is available, but many women prefer to pay. ;-)
You guys are focused so much on funding your own care, but elsewhere it really is a given. And it costs a lot less, and fewer people are left out.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
