Health insurance costs grow more gradually in 2008

Yes. Obama will save us all. He is not interested in setting up a New World Order at all... no, not at all.

I pay nearly $6,000, and growing, in premiums every year. We've had 2 out-patient surgeries in our family in the last two years, and have maxed out the rest of our insurance requirements but still paid more than $5,000 out of pocket.

The basic math says we paid more than $11,000 each year for health coverage protection. Initially, you would think the insurance company took a hit on us because of our expenses but since they only pay the medical community a reduced amount called "Usual and Customary", I am sure they still made a considerable profit at everyone else’s expense.

So, why do I have insurance? The hospitals has us on a payment program because I am officially part of the "Working Poor!" and they think my insurance is the worse they have ever seen ---- great!

Complaining hasn't done me or anyone else I know any good in this arena so I'm proposing a new PUBLIC outcry. Please visit my website http://www.stoprapingme.org and get involved. There are images to send to people that they might send to others, and they . . . Hopefully we can mobilize a public outcry, and determine some stop-gap solutions that will start a reform action.

How do you eat an elephant?

Don't worry, Obama will fix the problems with health insurance. Maybe he will push for national health care!5
