Do you do it for your home owners insurance? Auto insurance? How is health insurance any different?


In my humble opinion, depending on your employer limits compeition in the health insurance market driving up prices and creating semi-monopolies on health insurance plans.


If more people would be good consumers healthcare would be cheaper by the dozen.

I'd take higher wages over benifits any day.
 
As a small business employer, I would much rather pay higher wages than to offer medical insurance that leaps in cost by 25% per year.

That would involve some thinking, a little leg work and self education, not unlike investing your own SS contributions. We're not smart or disciplined enough to do that. Funny, we're smart enough to vote though.

Just because people have the right to vote does not mean they are smart enough to do so properly.:lol:
