: Doesn't having no insurance stink?! I haven't had any in a while.
: And when you go to the pharmacy to pick up your stuff, they look at
: you like you're crazy! I just tell them, "Hey, I'm one of MILLIONS
: of Americans with no Insurance, so get used to it!"

Insurance is a RACKET and I just got royally screwed with the policy
I bought. The screwing was totally "legal" and there's nothing I can
do about it, but drop the policy and go back to being insurance-less.
I lost literally thousands of dollars in a policy we bought into as
self-employed. I F@!#ING hate insurance!!

Remember the "good old days" when not only did you not need insurance
to go see a doctor, but one would actually come to your house for a
house call??? That was still the practice even 40 years ago or so, so
how did we get so damn far away and into the realm of the
impractical? Hubby says "lawyers and lawsuits." Maybe so.

sorry for the rant, but I'm still smoking from the flame job we've
been through with the pregnancy policy. We would have SAVED MONEY if
we paid for the whole pregnancy and delivery ourselves. WHAT THE
HELL!!!

(best not think on this anymore) just sympathizing.
