Also, a friend of mines mother lives in the boondocks and she has to travel 2.5 hours to Seattle to see a doctor so I wonder if I can blame this on the current system.
For **** sake people, you guys are smarter than this.

Try giving nearly 50 million more Americans insurance in a short time span and watch how quickly it becomes pronounced.
