7. When my daughter was in her 20's, she traveled a lot.

She spent time in Germany, Japan, and in the UK.
She received treatment in each of those countries for various health issues, but never paid a dime for the health care she received.
In the US, people can have health insurance and still pay thousands, even 10's of thousands for treatment. They can have their insurance company deny payment because you didn't go to an approved doctor, or received treatment the insurance company didn't like.
Claims get denied all the time, and even when paid, it's often just a part of the whole bill.

Many tens of millions of US citizens say that we're a Christian nation, but we aren't even close to embracing the teachings of Jesus.
And now even the idea of empathy is being attacked.

Only those on the path of darkness reject empathy.
Empathy is love. Love is empathy.
