While the debate is revving up in Washington this week to decide how the government intends to take over the healthcare industry, the passing of my childhood doctor has me remembering how it used to be.
“For four decades, untold numbers of Abilene area residents called Dr. Rorabaugh their doctor. He started practicing in Abilene in 1959 back in the days when doctors charged $3 or $4 per visit and made house calls.”

I was just a kid and can barely remember what it was like before universal medicare came to Canada. But I remember one thing very clearly – it was the last time that we ever had a house call from a doctor.
