UNTILa BIG PROBLEM hits "THEM"! I even admit, I THOUGHT our health insurance was fine and couldn't understand what everyone was complaining about UNTIL I broke my ankle 2 years ago! THEN I found out what that cute little 80%/20% section really meant! We struggled to pay off $2,500 worth of bills but finally did. About 6 months after we managed to pay those bills off, my husband was taken to the ER because they suspected a heart attack. At the time he was arguing with the drs that he couldn't go to the ER because we couldn't afford it! I told him not to worry about it, and thank god, the problem wasn't a heart attack, but of course we ended up with another $1,900 in medical bills.

I know those amounts may no sound like much to many of you, but we really don't have much money, and our annual income is $27,000. It's though to scrape together a spare couple of thou!

I think it's going to take enough people from all parties and every class to be personally touched by some tragedy before there will be enough Americans that start screaming at their congress critters to do something!
