What’s the gottcha?

**Sigene** : “BWHWHWHW I don’t really want to work on a farm!!”

No, it wasn’t. I am not saying trolling but this wasn’t a honest GQ question, it was a Great Debate. You are misusing the forums.

But the answer isn’t really yes. From what I see, you’ll get about 60% of your current care level for about 40% of the cost.

The OP has been nicely answered and the thread has now degenerated into talking about things that are better done in IMHO, GD, the PIT. Closed.
