Almost sounds as attractive as a certain healthcare law, don't it? OKAY, don't go there guys......it's a JOKE.......
We got the letter that due to a certain healthcare law, my "if you like your health plan you can keep your health plan" health plan has been cancelled effective Dec 31. I'm one of those self employed people that are not on a group plan who was buying on the open market. So in addition to getting screwed as a health care provider, I'm getting screwed as a health insurance buyer. Ain't life grand under Hope and Change?
No problem. Just needed to vent a bit. (You wouldn't believe the things my gray haired little old lady patients say in my office every day. One would be visited by the SS if one said them online.)
Buying a car that you never own might actually be worse. It is a toss-up. Both will end up gouging you.
It's all moving this way anyhow. Soon you'll be monitored all day long on all communication...oh wait...that's been going on for years. We haven't been truly free for a long, long time...not in my lifetime for sure.
