Come on up. We've accepted you before.
04 Oct '13 22:03Originally posted by sonhouseWhat if this massive and unwieldy government healthcare coverage wasn't mandated but optional? Also, is it really affordable if deductibles are thousands of dollars more than an individual or family's medical expense budget can absorb?
