> Happy Birthday to me. My health insurance was raised to over $700 a month. I applied for different insurance and was turned down for pre-existing conditions. So what now, drop insurance and pay out of pocket, hoping that nothing serious enough happens so that I have to give up my house? Gradually go broke? Fuck.

So? So the fuck what?
