Maybe she should do a show about people like us who’ve bought a lot of homes. They can call it Property Sluts.[/quote]
I love it.

(And like you – I looked at a LOT of houses before buying my various houses. Not triple digits – but high double digits.)

[quote]Time for tort reform and let health insurance be sold competitively across State lines. My costs went up $72. a month. We need reform, but not the Pelosi brand. Anyone watch V? I think she might be a reptile…[/quote]

California has had tort reform for a few decades. The max you can get for pain/suffering (vs actual medical expenses) is $250k. Not a lot if they amputate the wrong leg. But it’s probably why insurance is much cheaper in CA than in many other states. I’ve lived in WA, GA, and PA – insurance was much higher in all those places than here.

Our employee contributions went up over %60, year over year, for family coverage for the two HMO’s offered. (By far the most popular plans at this corporate campus.)

I did some digging to find the raw numbers – the pre-stimulus adjusted COBRA numbers for 2009 and 2010… to determine how much the ACTUAL premiums went up (employer + employee contributions.) They went up 9% and 11% – depending on which plan.

So, not only did premiums go up… but my employer made the choice to shift a much higher percentage of the insurance cost to the employee.

In the past year we’ve also lost our 401k match, had our salaries frozen, and seen bonuses decimated.

But, as mentioned, we’re lucky to have jobs.

I don’t blame congress and the health care reform advocates. I blame the people at the corporate level who are determined to make sure our real wages go down significantly while they continue to pad their compensation packages pretty nicely.

I have friends renting in the Valentia apartments – over by the new park/library off of Nobel/Judicial. They’re in a 3 bedroom + loft.
