...but your drive to cement that status quo by ineptitude, ego and greed has me too heartsick for humor.
I'm 18 years from Medicare, pay several thousand a year for a shitty family policy that doesn't kick in until I've blown $5000 (and there's a separate family deductible of $10000, so the total is actually $15000 - each family member has another $5000 deductible on top of that) and have a child who's not quite 15 who is going to be unratable on any individual policy because she had some atypical cells in a biopsy on a birthmark we had to remove.
In other words, she starts her adult life as someone who is uninsurable, so she can forget any form of self-employment or small group employment - her choice has already been mapped out for her by 40 years of progressive pony seeking and industry message massage.
More under the fold.....
As we cruise straight through health care being 1/5 of the economy and make it 1/4 by the time I'm putatively eligible for Medicare, undoubtedly leading to massive negative changes, I'll really appreciate the fact that I won't really be able to change out of my shit policy into something even marginally better.
So thank you in advance for killing this, progressives - you haven't delivered shit for me in my working career, and I'm pretty sure that you'll continue to dither, bitch, whine and complain about any potential positive development being "not perfect enough", therefore killing reform and perpetuating the status quo.
Nader/Hamsherites, just how good does it feel to be Rick Scott's bitch? He's used and played you, passed you around to Dick Armey, Grover and all the rest of his buddies, and you've happily assisted him in perpetuating the status quo and given him the ability to continue and amp up the crazy. After all, you've helped in the message delivery all along.
When House Progressives kill HCR, do you think that the teabag circus is going to sit down and shut up, having had their sacrifice? Or will they amp up the crazy?
