15. Good for you. I have NO healthcare & have needed an MRI for the past 18 months. |

I have a purple lump in my leg. Doctor (cost: $150) ordered an X-ray and an MRI. That was 18 months ago. It may as well be 18 years (or 180 years) because I can NOT afford the cost of either.
So "sweet" for you that you can pay a few bucks and wait a few minutes and get what you need. But there are millions of us who get NOTHING.
Enjoy your surgery and when you are going in think what this experience would be like if you did NOT have the care you are getting paid for. And beware -- if you lose or change jobs, or your employer decides not to cover employees any more, you could soon be in the same boat as those of us who have no care.
