Look at the bright side of not being able to see a doctor - for the most part, they don't have anything in their arsenal that actually works on the flu. Bad joke, yes, but unfortunately true.
I grew up in a place where everyone has access to healthcare. It is a right, not a privilege, just like education, and decent shelter. Right now, here, I am scrabbling to find a part time job, much of it due to major financial issues due to - wait for it - illness over the last couple years that screwed everything up to an amazing degree. Thankfully I still have a job, and I hope to be able to hang onto it.
Republicans appear to be for everything that will preserve the status quo, where they can make people crawl for anything. It makes me mad that they are still whining about bipartisanship, when they do everything to prevent just about anything. *sigh*
