Health Care Reform

.....don't hold your breath. The maggots at the top are reaping obnoxious amounts of money and our politicians, including Savior Obama, are on their payroll. That's the sad truth. Don't wait for the government to save you. They won't. The only thing you can do is to protect yourself.

The number one cause of bankruptcy in this country relates to astronomical medical bills. I guarantee that either you or one of your loved ones will experience this. If you're lucky enough to currently have medical insurance, don't expect it to last too much longer. It's simply too expensive for employers to maintain. The employers will shift costs to you, but it's still too expensive to maintain.

When medical bankruptcy hits you, as it most certainly will, don't have any assets. They can't get blood from a turnip. Don't bother to accumulate any wealth. They will just suck it from you for medical expenses when you eventually get sick.

My sister-in-law does not have medical insurance. She has very modest assets and works at a very modest wage. Of course, her employer cut out health insurance this past year. A friend-of-a-friend told her about a "free" program for health care. My sister-in-law does not qualify because she makes $50 more per week than the limit, and she owns her own home. That's her reward for trying to be a good citizen.

On the other hand, this friend-of-a-friend is an illegal immigrant. They qualify for the free medical care because they have no reportable wages and no assets because they are paid cash under the table.


Who's the idiot?

The unfairness of "the system" gets me every time!

Oh does this story piss me off. WTF? Guess the saying goes you have to look out for number one and don't step in number two.
