No, Martin, like millions of people in this country, I am self employed and have been since 1980 when I quit my last paid job as a social worker...

And, yeah, if you have any friends wyho are self employed ask them about health insurance (ha) in America and you hear some horror stories.

$819 a month!!!! $2000 each (me and the P-Vine) per year deductible!!! Yeah, do you know what that means? Do the math. This is like running ten grand thru the shreader every year!!!

When Bush came into office we had better coverage, $500 deductible and were payin' $476 a month...

Like I said, you do the math...

(And BTW, both of us are healthy...Except finacially after getting fleeced by Bush's buddies!!!)
