And if I recall right you are in your early 50's? What would the cost
be if you were 60? IOW, this compares pretty much with what I pay to a
private company for insurance. But I am pretty much in favor of single
payer health care in this country and now that the insurance companies
are pretty much running the show and pissing off doctors even the
doctors are beginning to support the idea of single payer.
