What's going to happen to all of us who work, who do the right thing & strive for our version of the American dream? I know this is off topic but the price of gas is just one more fuckin' thing on top of a shit ton of others. I've started to get hit with higher fees on the bill for gas delivery to the stable/house & for the trash guy who empties the dumpster for Chrissake & I can't even talk about the cost of our health insurance without thinking I'm going to stroke out.
I am in a position to work half-time now. The only reason I am scared to do it is the cost of health insurance.
I figured it out. With the premiums and copays I pay for medical and dental and vision, I would be better off not having insurance and just using the Immediate Care place down the road. I can't do that, though, in case of catastropic injury or illness. As I see it, insurance premiums, and the fucking super-high deductible I just recently had added to my insurance, is just a pay-in-advance loan. I am paying more than I actually use, same if you include the family members I cover.
They fuck you either way. I haven't figured out how to get around this yet...
