Just to provide a comparison, in France I pay 235 Euros for my health insurance, which provides far better coverage than what I had back in the US, for prices comparable to what Jim is talking about above. 235 Euros per YEAR. I am not an employee, so the company I work for contributes nothing towards my health care. The policy is provided by a company that expects to *make money* by offering health care coverage for 235 Euros per year, and does. I would be willing to bet that MDixon pays more per month for his non-Socialist health insurance than I pay per year. And that he believes that's a Good Thing.
