    My wife will literally die if her health insurance is replaced by anything lesser. Her monthly health care is insane, on a retail cost basis.

    I completely believe it. I am currently recovering from a detached retina, and I can't begin to imagine what the sticker cost of that surgery was. And even with excellent old folk's insurance, one of the eye drops used in the healing process is so expensive and so uncovered by even the best insurance plans that the surgeon just handed me a bottle out of her supply of pharmaceutical samples.

    You die. That's their replacement plan.

    I made my earlier comment out healthcare being for-profit based on something I saw first hand the other day.
    I was at the drug store picking up my blood pressure medication. I get three month's worth for $7. Cool.
    The man in front of me got to the register, and whatever he was getting rung up to $1,500. He said he couldn't afford that and walked away.
    I thought to myself that I hoped I didn't just watch a person make a decision to go home and die because the difference between life and death was out of his price range.

    Abbott, I’m very sorry to hear about your wife. I hope that you two can share some special times together

    They did play well - in spots - last night but....

    ...That annoyed sneer.... the pain behind the eyes....

    Literally (and not figuratively) watching your soul leave your body as you endure the Giants is a universal experience.

    You're getting cheated. My three-month supply is $0.51.

    First time I bought it I hear the cashier say, "Fifty . . . " and start reaching for the credit card. Had to make her repeat it to make sure I heard correctly.
