Ever feel like you're being ground beneath the boot of society? I feel that way right now... I just found out that the cost of my health insurance (the vast majority of which comes out of my paycheck) for myself, wife, and child, is going up starting next month an additional $40 or so even though nothing has changed for us. Add to that the cost of our truck payment and car insurance, and I will basically be completely out of money before I even see my check.
The insurance companies are all complaining that they're not profitable, and that they're losing so much fucking money yet they can and do arbitrarily raise their rates even though nothing has changed in the lives of those they supposedly serve. And yet we can't really live without insurance... Try to buy and drive a car these days without getting car insurance. Your house automatically by law has to have home owner's insurance. And very few hospitals places where your life may very well be on the line will take patients that don't have health insurance.
Between the damned insurance and oil companies, it's a wonder any of us can scrape out a living these days. The government doesn't serve us, it serves Corporate America. And we fucking serve the government...
Grrr....
