I think that's a lot of it. I guess my big thing is this - I'm making my income and right now cutting things very close. I pay a portion of my healthcare bill, 35% of the premium and some higher prescription and copays. The plans that have been proposed in the past to increase the "SCHIP" program included taxpayer dollars being used to provide healthcare for students up to age 28 in families that bring in almost TWICE my income.
