So, on the basis of your anecdotal evidence that everything is fine, we're to conclude that all of the other evidence (soaring costs, higher premiums, rising uninsured, rising bankruptcies due to medical costs) is just a media conspiracy to show only the "sexy" situations where people lose their house due to medical expenses?

Isn't that sort of like saying "hey, I jaywalked yesterday and didn't get hit by a car. Jaywalking is safe! It's a media conspiracy to show you only the sexy stories where people get creamed by a Dodge Ram."
