My daughter and son-in-law are contemplating a move and a change in life style. They're in NJ and the corporate rat race is insane. Together they make good money, more than $120k, but they still find the cost of living here ridiculous. Their plan is to downsize and change careers. With a 2-year old son, their major concern is medical insurance. I can’t believe the quotes for private medical insurance they’re received.

Two questions: 1) does anyone know a decent plan that isn’t a budget buster, and 2) what is the answer to this insanity?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Canada? NZ? Australia? Ireland? UK?

Seriously.

Could just one of them work for a big enough corp or state or county govt, so they have reasonably priced insurance? My daughter's last raise went straight to increased insurance costs. It's outrageous. She and her two children are very healthy. When I heard how much they take from her paycheck for only an average HMO, I suggested she call around for private quotes. No good news, it's insane. We have a shaky economy with significant competition for employment, ever rising gas prices, while the govt sells our children's future to pay for an unholy war, and now health insurance has skyrocketed.

They continue to herd us; to escape means taking risks.

Yet all this money is being poured into Homeland Security, and the talking heads on the radio tell us our economy is in great shape, and our unemployment rate is something like 4.7%. I heard Michael Reagan going on about our great economy the other day.

Where is all that money for the war and Homeland Security coming from?

I don't get it.

The future. Basically being put on the US credid card. So much for the "conservative" republicans.

Inflation is the only way out, so fixed income folks are screwed.

Maybe the one on the right is Andrew Cunanan?

I read about him the other day, that was an extremely creepy story.

The murder in Chicago was right down the street from me. It's a complex of gray brick townhouses, with gated entrances about 15 feet high and the only access to the parking garage is cardkey access only. Pretty clear he was a trick of this guy, who was a big deal in Chicago's social circle. His wife still is.

As for the "don't get sick" strategy, my brother tried that. He got mouth cancer, and it cost him $200K, everything he had, to get treatment. And that was only after surgeons gave him a big discount. He's going to be doing one guy's taxes for the rest of his life.
