I'd gladly sign something that says I don't have to pay health insurance premiums, and then when I turn 70 you can kill me.

Saves the insurance companies hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep my old crippled rear end alive, saves me money when I can actually use it.

it's a wonder they dont charge per flush in hospitals in the states.

My last hospital stay I was in for 2 nights, and they asked if I was on any daily medications. I was on a generic thyroid medication that I had a full bottle of at home, and it cost me $10 for a 90-day supply.

The cost of 2 of the same pills during my hospital stay? $50/each.

So have someone go get your meds from home if you're ever in the same situation.

I don't know about everyone else here, but since Obamacare my health insurance has gone above 30% of my gross salary, my coverage has gotten worse, and my copays went from $0/$10 dental to hundreds of dollars. Group Death is the only thing I can afford now.

If you're talking about your premiums through a work plan going up, that would qualify you for an Obamacare plan on the exchange. Employer plans can't exceed more than 9% of your salary.

You should read this, it's long and stuff though, it's hard to read.

quote:

That Japanese girl, whose case was detailed in an FDA report, did not kill herself. But at least 70 people have died, many of them by suicide, after Tamiflu-induced episodes. The deaths were almost surreal: A 14-year-old who took Tamiflu jumped off a balcony, and a 17-year-old on the drug ran in front of a truck. Scientists documented other cases of “psychopathic events,” including a South Korean girl who temporarily developed bipolar disorder and an 8-year-old Japanese boy who wouldn’t answer to his name and began to growl.

:lol:
