That is indeed messed up. My single business entity insurance, or whatever you call it, is $157 a month with a $2,500 deductible. Luckily for me, I went through a 5 month stretch this year where I hit about 20k and got pretty much 100% covered after the deductible, so I consider that a steal as well as sticking it to insurance companies.
Yeah, when I was directly working for the company before, it wasn't bad (They took it right out of my check, and it was a small pittance), but COBRA benefits are without the support of the company, and they drill you hard. And it's only good for 18 months, but at that point it's almost 9k spent on health care. Insane.

Obama is woefully underqualified for the presidency
Obama is still the default candidate for the Democratic Party. We can muddle through another 4 years if he is the price for retaining the semblance of a balanced Supreme Court.
and Ron Paul is insane.

He would get us out of Iraq, though. Also, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have given the banks a bailout, something which was criminally mishandled. [/B]

Well it isn't so much withdraw from Israel as withdraw from everywhere, so it's not like he's some wacko anti-Zionist. It's more like he's a wacko fundamentalist Libertarian, something that's much easier to rationalize.
Ron Paul: Not as bad as he could be!
Originally posted by ZampanóThe latter is what I was getting at. The only thing he has going for him is that he is a break from the status quo.

I like cain, perry, or romney. none very much. And i definitly like the idea of somebody bringing our troops home from all over the world.
Obama is a joke. He hasn't kept his promises, he hasn't improved the economy, he hasn't fixed health care, he hasn't even gotten our troops out of Iraq or closed Gitmo. Am i forgetting something?
