"We had a health insurance meeting today to finally discuss the changes they're making. My montly payments should be going down slightly. However, my deductible is going up to $5,000. That's right, $5,000! So if I get hurt and have to take and ambulance to the emergency room and rack up a bill for $7,000 I'll have to pay $5,000 of it before insurance kicks in. At least they'll take care of the final $2,000. Oh, wait, they won't. Once I meet my deductible they start kicking in for 50% of the cost. So they'll end up paying a whole $1,000 of that $7,000 bill.

They do have an out of pocket maximum per year to protect the little guy like me though. The most I'll ever have to pay in a year is $15,000. That's just a little over half of my annual pre-tax salary! Yay health insurance! We have the best system EVAR!

WTB Obamacare."

I got this in an email from my boyfriend this morning and feel that it needs to be shared.
(WTB is world of warcraft lingo for "Want to Buy" for those that don't play.) #billnelson

Unfortunately, it should read "A real public option now." #billnelson

Oh! My old hood. I'm so proud of you. Last time I drove through Coral Gables and people were holding signs up they read: "Free Elian". #billnelson
