Luckily I’m single and in fairly good health in my 40′s. Still I saw my premiums jump 23% this year to $250 a month. It’s become a luxury I’m not sure I’ll be able to afford ; so be it ; like swine flu ; what the fk can you do?

Those who need insurance the most, can’t get it at anything near a reasonable cost.

The government won’t allow small businesses or entrepreneurs to pool themselves in order to get better rates.

The GOP, the so called business party, supports big Pharma and Big Insurance in this anti-entreprenurial scheme.

And the IRS questions legitimate medical deductions by a man and his wife just trying to get by.

Of course it’s a big scam. I am hopeful that Obama will do something to straighten out this hopeless mess.
