Re: Health Insurance
Folks,(and I'm as guilty as the rest of us), we need to make more political noise about this mess. There is going to be an ever increasing number of American citizens due to the boomer wave who have worked their tails off for the past 35 to 40 years, who are not yet 65, who "retired" and now have no health insurance. They've done everything right in life but now are prisoners of our health insurance mess. Sadly, we've allowed this issue to disappear from this elections headlines. It amazes me how 4 years ago this was a hot button issue. All it took was for gas to hit 4 dollars a gallon and healthcare was no longer a hot topic. The inequities are so unfair. If you were a gov't worker your set for life. Why is that? I was/am a very successful professional and worked 50+ hrs a week and paid a fortune in taxes for decades but now I have to grovel and beg for health insurance coverage. How in the hell did this happen and why isn't everyone 50 years old and older really po'd about it?
