The access to affordable healthcare in the United States is an entitlement, any perquisite or a fantasy, based on a seemingly arbitrary matrix of things. Government insurance plans are available for the elderly, particularly for the permanently disabled, those that have failing kidneys, the actual impoverished and children from low-income families. But how poor do you have to be to meet the requirements varies from state to state as well as from year to year. Workforce at most large businesses and many small versions can take advantage of class insurance plans negotiated by way of their employers.
The cost of health insurance depends on your age, the condition of your body (how healthy or unhealthy you are), where in the country you reside, your money earned, and what kind of job you have.
The need for affordable healthcare alternatives has never been more important!

Gold is the most malleable and ductile of all metals; a single gram can be beaten into a sheet of 1 square meter, or an ounce into 300 square feet. Gold leaf can be beaten thin enough to become translucent. The transmitted light appears greenish blue, because gold strongly reflects yellow and red. Such semi-transparent sheets also strongly reflect infrared light, making them useful as infrared (radiant heat) shields in visors of heat-resistant suits, and in sun-visors for spacesuits.
Because gold is highly valued and in very limited supply it has long been used as a medium of exchange or money. The first known use of gold in transactions dates back about 6000 years. Early transactions were done using pieces of gold or pieces of silver. The rarity, usefulness and desirability of gold make it a substance of long term value. Gold works well for this purpose because it has a high value, is durable, portable and easily divisible.
