So I might as well spew about what's pizzing me off today (besides retard's who still think there are no WMD in Iraq and that Saddam and Al Qaeda are mutually exclusive).
Health insurance.
What a friggin' scam. And now some moronica is trying to make it the law that ALL businesses, even little dinky ones, have to offer it to their employees.
Most people think that their employer gives them health insurance free - wrong. If they didn't have to pay the $600+/mo premiums, you'd see a nice big fat raise. So YOU are paying for that health insurance, make no mistake.
So insurance companies can jack up their premiums to whatever they want, and stupid people will still pay because for some reason they think they NEED health insurance. Who here has ever actually used health care past their deductible? Hardly anyone, that's who. I've never gone over my deductible in my life.
Where's all that money going? It's going for administrative costs, #1, then it's going to the handful of people who have major medical issues. So I laugh when I hear Republicans rail against "socialized medicine"; we already HAVE socialized medicine in this country!
I rarely go to the doctor - no need to because I'm healthy and don't get into car accidents. But over the years I've paid for hundreds of chemo treatments and thousands of broken bones - FOR PEOPLE I DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!!!
*grrrr*
