People in the States care more about celeberities then their future.

I agree lol Marhta Radditz is a fox

[James NotBond]

People in the states care more about alot of irrelevant things like Tia Tequilla pressing charges on her NFL star boyfriend, or how bout hen over 200 reporters reported on Michael Jackson's trial all day everyday and 1 reporter wins a pulitzer for his coverage on genocide in Darfur which only got a total of 2 minutes news time the whole year. It's disgusting, this country is so ass backwards and everyone professes to want change but are too complacent to go out and change things themselves

I am already paying @ 10% to BC/BS

and it is about to go up 2%. Maybe premiums will come down as is claimed with the rid of waste and fraud. Add this to what we are paying in taxes to insure med services for medicaid,etc. already- maybe it is not as bad as it sounds.

I don't want any more taxas either but when will these premiums stop?

Five years ago the same policy was

less than half the price.

So we could be forced to pay 13% of our income to private insurance companies? This is a cure how?

It's fascism - I would like to see PBS being more upfront about it instead of being so nonchalant about it.
