CarolC:"According to Olympia Snow, it's going to cost those who would be covered by Medicare between the ages of 55 and 64, $7,600 annually in premiums, until 2014 when the subsidies will kick in. If that's what we're getting, JtS and I are totally fucked. That's more than $15,000 per year in premiums for the two of us. We just don't have that kind of money. If we did, we could buy private insurance right now."

Carol, I absolutely agree and believe you! You know why? On the radio, last night while resting in bed, something I posted earlier, was now making news! The insurance companies are the biggest backers, and lobbyists for the 'health care' bill! You know why? Its their bail out to keep from paying medical costs for all the baby boomers, getting older, and they want to get out of paying what it will take!

Thought that would blow your mind!
