50. When Mr. Z. took a new job, we had to switch to COBRA...
for two months, which was $1,200 (per month) for our family of five. We have a child with Juvenile Diabetes (insulin-dependent, Type 1) and that left me terrified thinking about what we would do without employee health insurance. And what happens when she is a young adult? What if she can't afford insurance?

We already put aside the maximum amount for pre-tax medical expenses and spend it all. I couldn't believe that the Smirking Chimp actually thinks MOST people will or could put aside enough to pay for ALL of their health insurance, co-pays and deductables, much less people who are dealing with the expense involved with treating a chronic, life-threatening illness.

Bush is a cold, mean, petty, little man.
