    when i had private insurance a few years ago I was paying about $10,000 per year with a $5,000 deductible

    i looked yesterday and the same coverage was now $16,000 per year with a $7,500 deductible

    i'm single, one person, on the hook for $23,500 per year

    our 'insurance' system in the US is fucked

    i found a job that barely covers my living expenses

    so now i am stuck in a job, any job, because i can't afford private insurance

    this is NOT a solution for me or anyone

    and the only ones making money are the insurance companies who will deny coverage on a whim so they can make even more money

    @samiamsam No professionally lobbying "politician" funded by big insurance corps against the interests of people in need of insurence, should hold any government office.

    In short: Fuck & repeal Roberts's Citizens United decision!
