Taryn was stuck in school and had no money to pay for her yearly vaccinations, so Taryn had to skip school to wait in a long line for care when the center opened. Although it was time consuming, she benefited from the low cost/free services with the healthcare provider who was working at that time. But thanks to Taryn our tax money had to help her out. What type of health care system is this?
