hyperm – the link shows just the image of a man, not the actual article. Or maybe the server senses that I’m not in UK, and is not showing the article -?

The photo shows a man with his eyes blood-red and obviously buldging out of his head, holding a sign saying he is uninsured and has an overactive thyroid, and asking for help. He his holding a cup.

The U.S. is one of the few modern industrialized countries where a person too sick to work to pay for health insurance is just out of luck. I hope we do something about this. There is no "perfect" solution that I see, but we can surely improve on the current system.

I wholeheartedly agree!

I was just notified that my Medicaid or State Insurance has denied my re-evaluation. Go figure. What a system it is. Yes, I’m just a bit peevveeedddd about it all. It just means another round of appealing it and then like last time it should be overturned but its just the fact that I have to play this game. I should not have to go jumping through all these hoops just to prove I need insurance or help paying massive medical bills. In fact, before I was eligible I paid out over $65,000 in medical bills with 2 eye surgeries and believe it or not that figure is with discounts from the surgeon and hospitals for cash paying patient. There just has to be an easier way for over 47,000,000 (million) uninsured people to get decent health insurance or health care.

Okay, I will get off the soapbox now. Just wanted to put my 2 cents in!
