When I was a kid, most of these procedures were not available at any cost. Just live the rest of your life in a wheelchair, or, with cancer or heart failure, pain meds to make the end bearable.

And modern medicine is coming up with more life extending and health improving procedures every day. You can live longer and better, but it will NOT get cheaper. Health costs are increasing because health care is improving. If health care costs are increasing, health insurance costs will increase.

Or you can just tell your doctor you don’t WANT dialysis, and save your insurance company some money. If more people declined these expensive treatments, insurance companies could reduce their rates.

Well I’ve already cut down to the bone. I had to when my business starting taking a dump big time because of other people cutting back. So see the circle just escalates and gets worse and worse.

My health insurance has gone up 4 times in the past 2 years………thanks Seesaw for voting that giant piece of turd into office. Go whine somewhere else, because I sure don’t feel for ya.

Get the stinking illegals out of here too. Enough is enough. Why in the hades should I be paying their way??? Give me ONE good reason!

Oh yeah……I’m not being PC anymore either…………..

WTF are these idiots smoking???????????????????????

Waa, Waa, Waa, Waa. Pathetic whiner. Your hero Obummer promised that Obummercare would “bend the cost curve down”. How’s that working out for you Progressive Fascist chumps? Go cry to your fearless leader, he’s the one who lied to you. Maybe he can mint you one of those trillion dollar coins sucker!

Consider this, the economy is already heading into recession. GDP actually shrank in final quarter 2012. More tax increases will further impede economic growth and guarantee another recession this year. I wonder how the propaganda ministers of the Regime Aligned News Media will spin that?

I can already hear Obummer out of one side of his mouth talking about deficit reduction while out of the other side insisting that we need more deficit spending for the magical stimulus effect. How about we give every American a money printing press to really stimulate the economy. Why should Ben Bernanke and his Wall Street co-conspirators have all the fun?

The glass is at least half full.
