    OK. I broke and dislocated my shoulder in 2024. I was in emergency for a while. My open reduction and internal fixation on the left proximal humerus was scheduled fairly quickly. I didn’t have to take out a mortgage for the surgery. I wasn’t financially ruined to get the use of my arm back. If you want teeth, eyes, mental health, and physiotherapy? Be prepared to pay way higher taxes! Your choice….

      We’re either paying for it though our job, out of pocket, or through taxes. It’s not free. I’d much rather have it come out of taxes to reduce the middle men just profiteering from our system.
