He lives in Arkansas and has always voted Republican. If this guy is pissed at his beloved GOP leadership-- then America is really headin in the right direction! :)
I would like to thank George W. for phucking up my Health Insurance, among other things.
Have y'all heard of the New Health Savings Plans? WELL THEY SUCK!!!!!!!! Here is why:
It is basically a crappy health plan with a REAL $1,500.00 deductible for individuals, and $3,000.00 for familys. In other words, you will be out of pocket $3,000.00 bucks before this "insurance" covers ANYTHING; prescriptions, doctor visits, ER visits, and on and on and on! If you have a catastrophic event, you are out a max of $10,000.00 a year, God Help you if you are run over by a damn car New Years Eve night.
GW kindly introduced this crap in 2003 as a way to reduce Health Care cost, Bull Schit! The only cost it is reducing is cost to big business, they don't have to pay anything!
Here is how it works, according to the people singing the HSA praises, you take the money you were paying on Health Insurance premiums (at my job I was paying $0.00) and put it in, pre tax, a savings account. Any medical expenses are paid out of this fund. The most you can contribute a year is your max deductible, $3,000.00 which is a crock of schit. If you have a catastrophic event you have to crap the additional $7,000.00!!!!!!!!!
Now the company is telling us there may be "premiums" that we also have to pay for this wonderful privilege of saving our own damn money under the guise of "Health Insurance"
The Harvard Bankruptcy study of 2003 indicated that 49% of the people who filed bankruptcy that year did so because of medical bills that were "covered" by the same type of "insurance" program that they could not pay.
I would just like to say thanks G Dubya, for this and damn $3.00/gallon gas!
Pretty powerful stuff from a frustrated RWer!
