Don't get me started about that. I'm not rich, but I have excellent insurance that costs me less than $50 per month. An hour ago our CEO reported that due to the pending "Obamacare" our current provider raised premiums 20% and not a single company was even willing to make a quote for coverage. Thus begins the squeeze on the majority of Americans who have insurance that they are happy with, despite Obama's promise that people who are happy with their insurance would be able to keep it. Our board has already been discussing doing away with our insurance entirely and throwing us on the government teat. One thing is certain: in the near future we will be paying more for less. F**king yay.
In even sadder news, it appears that my friend's husband was on this plane that went down in Africa.
She's the sweetest woman and recently married the former Navy SEAL and French Foreign Legion soldier and they were just beginning their life together. I hope they find everyone alive and well.
