To: Logical me

I make a pretty humble income, below the national average. The subsidy for me drops the monthly premium to a sum that’s about 25% of my pre-tax income. The pharmacy and medical deductibles are so high that there would leave me nothing for food or shelter. Like most middle-aged people, I do have some health problems, but nothing that can’t be managed with some basic, inexpensive medication. I haven’t been in a hospital in many years and am not a cancer patient or someone who has costly problems that demand monitoring. So on an actuarial basis there is no need for these outrageous rates; it’s just a scam.

I’ll just go on without it until something awful happens. It would be nice to see a physician for some tests and basic female stuff, though.

Your words sadden me. For all that these miserable monsters in DC take from us in taxes, inflation, regulations limiting our behavior, we should not have to take this.
I am a man of action......I will not wait! A life is not worth living in servitude to evil.
We all must commit to action...I am not afraid to lead the charge!!
