Re insurance, these numbers are irrelevant spin. What matters is that only a small percentage of Americans are adequately and affordably insured. They’re the ultra wealthy and professionals who are high earners and work on staff at large corporations. If you’re self employed, would like to start a business, have diabetes, work in a service job, get laid off, etc., you’re f***d.

Take my dad, for example. Engineer who worked at hp since the mid 60s. Wife is diabetic. She had random out of pocket medical expenses of $30,000 one year. Most people would have to declare bankruptcy.

The current system is irresponsible and impractical.

M4L, just to reinforce the point: BH is 6’5″, that’s roughly 7″ taller than you!
