very trollish....and very me, me, me mentality...tell us how great it is when you get shit canned and then get sick.


me and my wife run seperate self employed businesses. whats with the agression anyway?

oh i know, its that jealous british mentality whereupon its somehow bad to create a great life and be happy, you know "the pursuit of happiness" thing.

live your life, dont tell everyone how badly your life is going. work hard, set goals and reap the rewards. yes health care is expenisve but write to your congressman, become citizen change things, vote in people that will help you. dont get all aggressive, xenophobic and complain to folk that really dont give a shit about you.




i am following mine, are you following yours?

yeah its blue cross blue shield or something that i had with a previous employer.

free pair of glasses each year, $10 for doctors and cheap dental. pretty good value.

my friends in the UK complain about the cost of US health insurance yet they piss away about $1000 each month in their local boozer.

Isn't COBRA going to run out for you though? I thought there was a time limit, then you'll have to convert it to individual, if they offer it to you.

Or has something changed?

And to think the whole country is the same as your microcosm is also very small minded.

It was a response to your trollish post, you basically slate everyone's lives and experience because yours happens to be hunkydory right now.

And my life's fine thank you very much...and to quote someone else's post that has nothing to do with mine?

it is, and if he thinks that's cheap, he's obviously on another income plain to most people in the country.
