There was. I posted too fast and missed a pretty important phrase.

I hear all the stories about all the people who can't get health insurance because their employer doesn't want to eat the cost or how they can't afford it.

When I quit my full-time job 18 months ago, I was worried about replacing my health coverage or spending loads of dough on COBRA.

In about fifteen minutes, I got almost the same coverage with almost the same available doctors for about the same as I was having sucked out of my paycheck, which was only 40% of the total bill—my employer paid the other 60%. I write out a check for $200 every month, and I'm fine with that.

Sure, my story is anecdotal. And I'm sure there are widows with four kids and a PT Wal-Mart gig that can't afford it, but that is just as anecdotal as my account.


Not picking on you... it's just that you seem to have a rational mind and are not thinking in reactionary ways.

So a question... that 45 millions do not have healthcare is ...

1) anecdotal.
2) because they are choosing to buy wine coolers instead.
3) simply their own fault.

the problem is spending billions and billions of dollars on drugs and machines that do little to really help people perhaps prolong their lives for a few months.

4) because there are no same sex unions thus one parent and two children on one policy pay $630 per month and the other parent paying $375 per month for a grand total of $1,005 out. of pocket.

Something is profoundly wrong in this picture... do you in fact do without or just cough up the $1,005 as a family...money you could've been putting away for the kids' college.
