It's got to end soon, or we're well screwed.

My insurance payment + my jobs contribution (can't say whether or not they lie on the form about their share) is over a thousand per month. And I still have co-pays and shit that isn't covered. I've had a couple of X-rays and and a sling this year. I'm probably out another $2k on top of my insurance. It would be much cheaper for me to pay out of pocket and save the difference for a rainy day.

Fuck the entire insurance industry.

And the concept of tying it to employment is not only idiotic and nonsensical, but actually pretty devious.
