The years 60-65 are fucking brutal. And they're considering adding 2 more years on?
Fuck that! Big Time! With a huge deductible and out of pocket plan to keep your premium low
you can expect those two years ( without Obamacare ) to cost you at least an extra 12 thousand.
And thats if youre healthy.

(13,184 posts)That's more than my rent, more than my car payment, my single largest monthly expense.
Fuck this shit!
National health care now.
Fuck the pharmaceutical companies--just expropriate them.
Fuck the health insurance parasites.
Fuck the for-profit hospital chains.
God, I wish I lived in a civilized country. Health care should not be a for-profit good.

The Fed. govt. would save a little money at the expense of individuals, who would all end up paying more.
A lose-lose for patients and insurers.

(3,650 posts)me and my wife. I'm 53. This is just untenable. Luckily, I may be getting a job with a big company soon. I don't really like being stuck in a job - but that's the modern serfdom we're faced with without socialized medicine. Republicans claim to love small business, and they hate socialized medicine. How stupid. Socialized medicine would be the biggest boon to small business imaginable.
