F**K Gas Prices. Want to know who's really screwing you?

[Simplex3]

Health Insurance. These f**king criminals are killing the economy and it's only going to get worse as the baby-boomers get old and are too scared to just go ahead and die.



So what what evidence do I present to support my case? I have my own health coverage for my company (a group plan). The first year our coverage went up the maximum allowed 9%. This year the cap is off and it's going up 13%. Now, does anyone else think that medical costs have gone up 21% in two years? Didn't think so. So, where is that money going? Extra programs for the gimme generation, bulls**t like "Silver Sneakers", where indigents and old farts can get together and work out at my expense. F**K THEM. Let them wrinkle up and die.

I want a plan that is exclusive to young, healthy people. I'm sick and f**king tired of carrying the water for other people. I just got off the phone with my broker. Typically when a new plan is introduced the costs are significantly lower to get people to sign up. If I can't find one of those I'm going catastrophic coverage only and paying out of pocket for every visit.

All you people (especially illegal immigrants) who are sucking the life out of the health care industry can suck my ass.

PS, any of you dumb f**ks out there that think getting the govt. involved is the answer can latch on afterwards.

A few years ago here in Wichita we had the worst hail storm I've ever seen. EVERYTHING was damaged. Every car in town had the texture of a golf ball. A bunch of the insurance companies just refused to pay and packed up a left town.

They never did determine the cause, although I suspect it was probably a pinched nerve. But all that money and time, and they basically did NOTHING other than poke and prod and siphon my fucking blood.

If that ever happens again, I'll probably just stay home. Hopefully that won't result in my death, but at this point, unless I'm bleeding out of my eyes or in screaming pain, I'm just going to ride it out. To hell with getting financially assraped by the scumfuck hospital. I'll just take my chances. If that's the cost of the first night, seriously, I can't afford to be sick, whether I am or not. Who can?

And I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield. According to the commercials these evile fucks run on the radio every day, I'm as safe as a babe in his mother's arms. Yeah, right.

Every year healthcare costs go up and healthcare benefits go down. All of us (excepting those who are made of money) are one serious medical problem away from financial ruin - especially after our Republican friends rammed the new bankruptcy laws through.

Just another nail in the coffin of the American middle class. We are most definitely an endangered species.

Also, I hate to say it, but I am probably going to take a similar tact regarding medical visits. I'm not poor, but I refuse to shell out 600 bucks for the treatment I received last time. I'll just have to tough it out. I could spend that 600 on much better things.

As for the baby boomer group being so huge, I fail to see how having a huge group of people sucking on the system that is currently partially funded by (but will soon enough be entirely funded by in the case of socialist insecurity ) a class that is "too friggin small" makes it MORE solvent or LESS expensive.

Shut your pie hole and get to work!

Although those percosets would almost be worth it.



I continued to take them even after my back was healed. I'm glad I didn't get the prescription refilled. I definately would have been hooked if I had.

I lived there then. Softball sized hail! 1991 I think. It totaled four cars for me and wrecked my house. My square mile area was one of the worst hit of all, near Central and West. My insurance company paid everything. Sorry to year you got screwed.

I didn't get screwed. My car was under covered parking and I lived in an aparment at the time. But many of my friends got screwed.

I'm in health care and I'd like to thank all of you for contributing to my paycheck.

I have wonderful insurance. My bills are 90% covered, unless I go to a hospital we own, in which case, I'm 100% covered.

Health? More like auto insurance!

I'm freaking paying 350 ****ing dollars a month for a 2000 reeruned ass Ford Focus that was ****ing pre-owend!

Granted I'm a 20 year old female who's been driving legally for 2 years now.

And my health insurance is fine!

I don't pay that much for 6 months worth of full coverage.

A 20 year old female who's only been driving for 2 years should be paying 350 a month.

Surely you are not the girl on the commercial that had two accidents in her first 15 seconds of driving are you?

I dunno. I think you have the better end of this deal. In 12 years with the company, I've used my insurance twice. I use cable and the internet every damn day.

Bastard.

How do I sign up for that free cable and internet gig anyway?
