Yes, but if you had a life threatening condition, could you get the care

I have no reason to think not. The "government inefficiency will kill
you" meme is hyperbole. Yeah, the bureaucracy ****s up occasionally,
and I just might be one of the unlucky ones; but frankly, even with
what I pay in insurance, I couldn't likely afford the co-pay for a
seriously expensive condition anyway. My choices right now would be
sell my house or die. Luckily, I'm only dealing in a hypothetical;
but it's a real decision for far too many under the present system,
and I ain't getting any younger.
