You and I are fortunate to live in countries with social medicine, but a simple doctor's visit in the States is expensive. I agree it's very important to take care of one's health but if you haven't got the money, what do you do? And no, insurance is not the answer, it is also cost prohibitive.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-82620916414214606842014-10-30T09:37:06.730+00:002014-10-30T09:37:06.730+00:00Oh!
