Healthcare

Most of you know that I typically strive to avoid political discussions. However, since this is MY blog and I can say what I want to, here goes!

My opinion is relatively short (for me - and no funny puns about how tall I am!). The idea of being forced to have health care insurance absolutely infuriates me! We DO have insurance at the moment, because our employer's require that we do so. They require it so that THEY can get the group discount on THEIR insurance. So, we pay nearly 20% of our pay for an absolutely worthless piece of crap. We have a $5,000 yearly deductible, and NO preventive care. The only thing this insurance would be useful for is if one of us got cancer or lost a limb - literally. AND... shortly after Obama forced the bill through, our insurance went up again - a lot! So, had to UP the deductible even more, and drop Jeff from coverage just so we could afford to pay the premiums on an insurance we don't want but that both the government and our employers are forcing on us. We could be paying LESS into a Christian based insurance group and get WAY better coverage - but it's not allowed! And, now, to top it all off, it seems that Obamacare isn't even constitutional! Following is a link to a Snopes report of an essay that was published by an attorney, as well as another article by several others... see what YOU think!!
