How do we cope? Some people have good health insurance and do okay. Some people have no health insurance and hope they stay healthy. (That would be me; adjunct teaching does not come with insurance, and my income is too irregular to commit to monthly payments.) And then we listen to the Republicans rant on about "Obamacare", which isn't even close to providing adequeate healthcare, just a step in that direction (and will REQUIRE me to pay for health insurance next year, oh joy), being "socialism" and die a little more.
