well i dropped health insurance years ago, and i am fairly agressive going to doctors for evryday stuff and annual tests, the cost of this is well under the 1,800 would-be deductible, and i do not spend the monthly premiums.

unfortunately, my daughter's employer makes it mandatory, perhaps because he and/or his family holds interest in the insurance company.

the insurance company accumulate so much money that they withdraw profits for themselves.

they are really stingy in the dispensation of care related to long term care like diabetes and high blood pressure so common all mover the place.

my daughter's premium is 466.66 per month, she pays 280 out of her salary and the employer pays the rest.

as she put it, the health in surance is like the car payment.

her deductible is 1,800, so she rarely claims

i would be glad to see health insurers disappear from the face of the earth.

you can rent a mahogany casket for the viewing and the service, then use the cardbord box one just for the funeral.

I am glad this bid was rejected. God works in mysterious ways.

it is the other way around 52% are non contributory, 48% pay for the rest.

As for what the BIA said, it will change the "way of life", that is "Their way of life", they will have one less stream of ripping off people.

What has to stop is the free health care for illegals, to make space for the soon-to-be direct paying public.

And, speaking of foreign investment hotels, where is that one in Cat island which was going to be a Plantation Themepark with the natives dressed as slaves?

That is so true. I can get my prescription glasses withou insurance for $390, which includes special mad-to order lenses. With insurance, he charges $710 and the co-pay was $270. Do i save money? no cause the insurance rate is over $300 per month. i dropped it a while ago.
