$700 Health Insurance

Remember the last time you had a prediction about the health care bill? How’d that go?

How it went is that our Congressdumbasses are even more dumbass than I thought.

There are approximately 105 countries that have been through this process of socializing health care for their citizens. Surely you can cite at least one of them that has premiums doubling faster than ever three years? Ever?

Although frankly, I hope you’re right: that’s exactly what it would take to get a public plan back on the table, and I don’t think health care is really going to control costs until that happens. But sooner or later, we’ll join the ranks of modern countries with lower health care costs, better health care outcomes, and much saner insurance plans than we have now…i.e. pretty much any of them.

I doubt it. After 2010, the party for you and your ilk will be over.

Another prediction. Are you giving odds?

If you wanna bet, let me know what you’d be willing to bet on, and we can discuss.

If you are talking GOP majorities in either house, I may want a piece of that action, depending on the margin you are predicting.

Considering the conditions for his last bet, I’d pass.

Guin, why are you always following me around, nipping at my heels? You need a new hobby (I suggest sitting and spinning).

Or follow your lead, and post inane comments here while drunk.

Meh, it’s better than posting inane comments while completely sober (as is your wont).

Or some people can hold their liquor, and some people can’t.

Please don’t make lame excuses for your mom’s behavior.

That’s not as cool as you think it is. Being snarky is great, but you just sound like a no-charisma douchebag when you fumble awkwardly for insults like that.

Thanks for the tip, guy!

You know you want the whole thing though…

That’s pretty good FI. I got nothin’, you win. No snark here–that was funny.

It makes me weep to see fine scotch wasted so.

Funny, that’s what your mother said
