   Look Charley Brown, at some point, you have to blame yourself for continuously trusting Lucy with that football.

   I get that you hope she'll do the right thing THIS TIME but we both know she doesn't have it in her, so why keep running towards the ball?

     Democrats are really great at one thing, caving in on their own demands. Hopefully everyone can afford that projected 30% increase in health insurance next year.

     Our family is personally discussing not having health insurance for a year or two. I currently pay $12k a year for a family of 3, at 30% more I don't see any value in it. It's not great coverage for what it costs now. We could remodel our kitchen and bath over two years with that money.

     @That_One_Guy @Mrfunkedude Due to birth defects, I know a couple who spent over $1 million/year of their insurance company's money to keep a child alive for fewer than 5 years. It's hella expensive to get medical care because it's all priced for insurers to pay, and everyone gets a cut of the action. If everyone stays in perfect health, it's a great plan. I don't know how to predict that part. Good luck.
