It's better than going bankrupt or having to pay for something like a heart-bypass operation out of pocket, but still. That's a lot of money that ordinary people cannot afford.

On the other hand, if I did have access to Medicare or something similar, I would be looking at mostly only the premium costs for Medicare Part A and B, plus a supplemental plan, so maybe a worst-case scenario would be around $3,600.

When you find yourself in my situation, it becomes abundantly clear that whoever designed this system wants you working till age 65 and getting your healthcare insurance through your employer, since otherwise it's simply not affordable.

“I am in shock that Washington would approve a deal letting Qatar, Hamas’s #1 financier, open a Qatari Air Force facility on U.S. soil,” she wrote. “Qatar bankrolls Hamas, ISIS, the Taliban, al-Nusra, and the Muslim Brotherhood."
