It's a wonder the universe didn't implode.

My family and I visited Yosemite National Park this past weekend. While enjoying the view at "Tunnel View" we were parked next to an Expedition. When I got out of my car and saw the rear of the Expedition, my first thought was "matter/anti-matter". I think if I had bumped their door with mine when I got out, the contact would have ended the universe.

I don't think I have ever encountered someone who is so totally opposite me.

My #1 issue is Health Care

My family's health insurance premiums were just raised to $694 a month for 2 adults and 2 kids. Our deductible was also raised to $4000 per person and $7200 for the family. When we got this plan 8 years ago, our premiums were $195 and the deductible was 2500/4000. Over those 8 years, I have paid a little over $30,000 in premiums. The insurance company has paid out a grand total of $732.54. For the first time, we met our deductible last year when my daughter had 2 ER visits due to seizures. Thankfully, they turned out to be only febrile seizures. We chose this plan because it had a low premium with a reasonable deductible. We don't have any health problems and don't go to the doctor very often, but wanted insurance in case of an accident or cancer or something major. That's not the plan we have anymore. We can no longer afford our health insurance.
