Although I don’t wish it on anyone, I’d like Trent to imagine one of his kids getting cancer, and his copays draining his bank account, then he loses his job for being at too many medical appointments, then his cobra insurance expires, and then he is forced to sell everything he owns to keep his child alive. Then, after the for profit healthcare systems in freedom land have picked his proverbial bones clean of every last bit of gristle, he can declare bankruptcy and, finally, apply for medicaid so he doesn’t have to just throw his hands in the air and beg for his God to save his fucking kid. Enjoy the free market, bud. It is a hell of a ride even if you play by all the rules. A better system just means no one takes all your money and your house all at once if you are unlucky. By God’s will, Trent, get out there and roll them bones. One last thing, just like in a game of dice, the house, in this case death, always wins....

Honestly, I'm surprised American firefighters don't bill people for their services. It's exactly the same as billing for health care...
