Just putting a bandade on it won't fix it. We have to many people getting free health care at the cost of eveyone else. Those that truly need it, cannot get the care they need.

We don't need to overhaul all of health care. Those that don't have it go see a doctor and send the bill to washington. Most of what is in the new health care bill leads to socialism.

I was employed with Red River Army Depot's DFAS accounting offices in Texarkana, Texas. When my temporarary contract expired, my previous $60/month health insurance increased to $482/month under COBRA. COBRA expected me to somehow pay significantly more for coverage when by definition of business they knew I no longer had income to support such a steep rate increase. COBRA would have charged me almost $8500 in eighteen months, while my employer would have only charged about $1080. I do not see an 800% rate increase as reasonable especially for someone with no medical costs or history of health issues.

Daily Horoscope for December 23
Aquarius
Someone is being bombastic and overbearing, and you don't like it. You aren't prepared to take their behavior lying down, but standing up to them is likely to result in a rip-roaring row. Well, it seems that the row is almost inevitable, and perhaps that's just as well because it won't do you any good to swallow your anger or tolerate this person's boorishness for much longer.
