Bush Legacy Tour

CHEYENNE, WYOMING- During Saturdays in the summer, hundreds of locals pour into the Wyoming Depot to buy local produce from the famers market. We were happy to have a spot near the market and had a decent amount of foot traffic.

Payton Shuster from Wyoming left a strong impression on me after a long talk. She has had an incredibly difficult time with our broken healthcare system.  She is more than $68,000 in debt after two years of health problems .The idea of paying off her medical debt is daunting to her and she picks and chooses the procedures and medicines that are most important rather than always getting the full care she needs.  As if her story was not bad enough, she has  an elderly family friend who recently broke her arm, and instead of getting medical care she attempted to reset it herself and allow it to heal causing further damage. These stories are getting all too common on the road.  There is no better example of the failure of conservatism than our disastrous healthcare system which favors profit over people.
