I'm too young to know what y'all are talking about, but I'll add this as an aside:
Recently I've read more than once that only 8% of Americans have no "health coverage", and by that I know the author means medical expense insurance.
Is the number of medical-uninsured people really that low? Obamacare spectacularly priced me out of the market; the minimum "brass" plan for me and StraitWoman would cost over $14,000/year in premiums, and it would have a $14,000 annual deductible. Then it would pay only a paltry percentage -- 50-70% of most type expenses -- and/or in many cases with a capacious co-pay. That's $28,000/year before it even kicks in, and even then then the kick ain't nothin' to shoot the mule over.
There have to be more people like me -- too rich to get insurance for free, and too poor to afford to buy it. ???

That's the plan, man ! Uncle Sambo has it all figured out.
The solution is to eat right and rely upon the good graces of God and don't get sick. The best insurance is to trust God all the way and stop fretting over the small shit (not that 14k/yr is small shit).
Purchasing insurance is just another way of telling the ALMIGHTY creator of all things that you don't trust Him, but you trust the fuck heads that have every intention of killing you !
The thing about faith is that you have to first employ it to find out if it works. It does, I tried it.

I know you're not big on taxes, I'm not allowed that latitude. I do the best that I can to keep my AGI ~$20,000/yr. It's weird, state always takes more than the fed.
Ya ever get in my hood, drive slow, my street will scrape the balls off an M1A1 Abrams. Essoistan. I like it!
