[quote=briansd1]flu, please don’t take it personally.
It’s common parlance to describe the very nature of insurance.
With health insurance, you have the leeches (those with chronic diseases, cancer, families with kids who use maternity services, etc…) and the golden geese, like me, who never go to the doctor’s.
In fact, I have a little pink rash on my face that won’t go away. I don’t want to go see the doctor who will just tell me to use a hydrocortisone cream. Anyway, hope it’s not the beginning stage of chronic exzema that will forever mar my good looks. ;)[/quote]
brian, your original post was quite offensive. I think flu’s response was quite justified.
that said, I think the tax is not that unreasonable. I wouldn’t mind paying it. but would also like to see the likes of Romney pay my tax rate on his capital gains earnings.
