• Relatedly, I had my first real dose of O'care the other night. My step-daughter and husband just had their first baby. She wants to quit work to be with the baby. He makes about $55,000. With their current expenses, they cannot do it but we went through their expenses and talked about selling an expensive car that has equity for a cheap one and finding a cheaper place to live since their lease is up soon. The whole plan was coming together until he showed me his portion of the the company sponsored heath insurance: $642 per month beginning in October! Over a hundred percent increase. That is $7704. Granted pretax dollars but still a huge hit as it represents 14% of his annual income. Needless to say we had a talk about politics after that.

  • Now he knows what it's like to bend forward I take it.

• Welcome to Kalifornia, sick? Injured? Just lay down on the sidewalk and die, the union of dead body removers (SEIU) is on strike right now and we will get to you when we can, unless of course you choose to expire on the state capital steps in Sacratomato, then you will be removed rapidly so there is no evidence of your demise and Governor Ass-Clown Jerry Brown will proclaim all is well, ride the bullet train.

  • The way I see this as going is Obamacare will ensure there's no one left to ride the bullet train to bankruptcy.

• Wow... I never knew that news about Obamacare would make me feel better.

  • See? It's so good you don't even need to see the doctor! Eleventy!
