The ignore it as if it doesn't happen and make remarks like get a job and you need to take care of yourself.

The 1% is not concerned because if they get sick, they are covered.

until this happens to them.

I've been told more than once by, usually but not always, younger people that "My family is healthy, I don't need insurance". Next thing you know I'm at a spaghetti supper benefit to help pay for their or their kid's hospital bill or treatment.

The fact that we condone the need for these benefits is even worse than the fact that they exist in the first place.

on edit: It doesn't read the way I meant it too. The people I mean are those condoning the current state of private insurance not the guy in the OP. I didn't think this one through that clearly

All I have is the link to the pic (you can get it by right clicking on the pic and then choosing "properties&quot . I'll go back and see if there is a link to an accompanying article/story or something.

Great picture!

Look here for one of the best most recent ones. The dinner I'm at is blocking the site as occult!

Who haven't walked in their shoes. Some don't make to the system, aren't strong enough to fight or don't know how. The cemetary is the only place they'll get any rest. And it'll keep on being that way until values change.

Only way to make it is to leave the middle class. Either moving up or moving down. Which one do you think is more likely to happen?

You can verify that it's me if you like. My Facebook is under my name, Guy Gondron. I also have a blog at http://protoguy.blogspot.com/

Thanks again
