You know … there are also ways around this … I feel like there are always ways around things.
Alright, but I’m like this 'never say die' person (laughing).

Yeah, and I feel I have taken all the loopholes and shortcuts I could find, but the corporations and politicians are relentless…. it’s exhausting trying to keep up….

I think I may have tapped out of cleverness… I’ve structured my life a little bit “sneaky” about 25 years ago, catching an inkling that something like this was coming down the pike… and I have 16 years of dealing with insurance companies on the HR buying end of things as well as a few years of selling medical equipment into the SCI community trying to get reimbursements on each sale so I know a lot about a little (or a little about a lot?) on the inner workings of insurance companies and the state ODI regulatory stuff… I just play dumb because dumb gets you wormed in further than them figuring out you know sh*t (never underestimate how badly people in power want to display how much power they have to almost anyone ;) ) Its all a big game of poker…. Or Pawn Stars!

This ACA thing has exposed a lot about how little the average citizen knows about health insurance! It shocks even me. All folks wanna do is go to the doctor when they are sick and not go broke or broken afterwards. The way the GOP and their minion followers talk, it’s as if people will line up like its “free candy” if we get socialized medicine. Nobody will. Very few people go to the doctor unless they need to, even if it were all FREE, it would still be difficult to give away to folks that don’t need-need it.

But I got a few more tricks which is why I’m a little fuzzy on some of the details (though I know EXACTLY to the penny everything costs and where the money coming from) But I can do math and I know I will land about 4 years just shy of the Medicare platform and I already swing hard off the cliff. The only way out is straight down if a ledge line SinglePayer or PublicOption or WinTheLottery doesn’t happen soon ;)

Nothing is ever free. But all 320 Million of us contributing pre-tax into one large pool that pays for costs that don’t have a profit motive is the cheapest way to do it! A human heart beats the same in Ohio as it does across the state line of Kentucky.
