Amen, brother. My parents, in the 1950's paid $35 a month for medical coverage for a family of 5 and the doctor came to OUR HOUSE when we were sick.

MSA's are great, but Kennedy butchered the last version and only the self-employed can get the benefit.

Yeah, but to be fair, you got 1950s health care. Iron lungs they could provide. Stents and MRIs they couldn't.

Now it's a less of an inconvenience than breaking your leg. I'm willing to pay for that.
