What's 100K Anyway?

If you had one hundred thousand dollars coming into your bank account every year, would you have health insurance? Would it be a priority for you in any way? I am flabbergasted when I speak to someone who is making really good money and does not think that they need any health insurance. Worse yet are the people who are waiting for the government to bail them out of the wrong thinking with free insurance. I am not Methuselah old, but I have lived long enough to know that the government never ever gives anything for free. We're going to be paying for this-out of a rear orifice- for the next four generations if we do not stop now. I believe that insurance needs to be overhauled. I also agree that medicines have gotten ridiculously over priced. I have one prescription that is $138 a refill. Ouch. But pharmaceuticals are only part of the problem as well. There has to be a way to lower the costs across the board. I have no problem paying for my own doctor, I just wish that he wasn't driving a new Jaguar every time that I see him. Maybe if every one got together to make the prices more reasonable, we could avert the socialization of one fifth of our economy. And whether BO likes the word or not, socialism is bad. I learned that in the seventh grade, when they were still able to teach moral absolutes. Aahh, the good old days..... But at any rate, think about how much government intrusion you want in your life. Think about the scenarios that make up the real uninsured. You'll thank me later.
