The first few years of our marriage (with small children) healthcare insurance coverage was difficult but manageable because of responsible financial discipline. Over the last 30 yrs. we have been very happy & felt secure, cared for by our doctors. Trips to the ER with elderly parents have been a challenge but I do not support this "national Health Care" proposal that is being *quickly* shoved upon us all.

Sadly my daughter does not have health care coverage, but has managed to meet her needs & those of her children with assistance.
