After all -- and we'll see if you can answer this without an eye-rolly emoticon -- the social safety net is *vastly* stronger there.

5. Burning our "insurance cards?" |

Or, perhaps more precisely, burning the letter we'll receive from the Insurance Companies via the government telling us what to do and when to buy mandated insurance.

6. Here's an idea. Keep paying your insurance company's ~200% premium increases.. |

7. A mass protest in DC and a general strike would do it. |
