Warning: Some of the supportive material in the following post is somewhat graphic, and definitely not for small children. Let this be a note of caution as to what medical conditions we’ll be enabling subsidizing paying for should we adopt universal healthcare as a nation… (although we probably already pay for much of it, now that I think about it )
