A liberal is just a conservative who got a rate increase from his health care insurer
CHRISTMAS PRESENT [John Derbyshire]***B*w*a*h*a*h*a*h*a!***
My health insurer has just notified me, in a brief form letter, that my monthly premiums are to rise from $472.33 to $857.00 on January 1st. That's an increase of 81 percent. ***E*I*G*H*T*Y*-*O*N*E* *P*E*R*C*E*N*T*** Can they do that? I called them. They sound pretty confident they can. Ye gods!
P.S. Did I ever tell you that I hate insurance companies the same way Republicans hate the government? The difference, of course, is that I have a chance at changing the government. But insurance companies? Not so much.
