Bad Things
"Bad things, terrible things, happen to people every day, things beyond their control or wildest imagination that can ruin them in a heartbeat. And no amount of planning, budgeting, or sanctimonious pontificating by internet blowhards is going to be able to stop it."
This is true for the US. Medical bills do not bankrupt people in Sweden or France or Canada. Internet pontificating won't do a thing. Demanding actions from politicians might. Remember, Canadians had to fight the medical establishment for a health care system back in the sixties. They won; Americans lost.
