I don't know where you live, or what insurance you have, but none of the

several states and had several different insurance plans over my (short)
lifetime.
My experience is drawn primarily from the Houston area and later from working
in Little Rock and living here in rural north Arkansas.
I have been self employed for 6 years so it has doubtless changed and probably
not for the better. My experiences are admittedly skewed perhaps that the
first was working for a Fortune 500 and then a state government that is as big
as a Fortune 500. Size is power and you get much better deals.
Dunno about Wal-Mart but I hear little good about their HR policies. Hate to
speak ill of a flagship Arkansas company, but truthfully there is little left
I admire about them except their considerable prowess in foisting cheap
foreign-made goods on us suckers.
I'm not at all convinced of that. The healthcare systems in much of
Europe seem to be miles better than Canada from what I've read & heard.
On two consecutive years we had foreign exchange students stay with us for a
year. First was from France, second Denmark. They had nothing but complaints
about Euro's system. (This was 1990-92). Similarly for the Europeans I knew;
they complained a lot, but would hear of no plan to change anything. What to
conclude?
That is until the Democrats and Republicans conspire to destroy it.
I'd say this is one of the cases where we need to destroy it to save it.
Stated that way we might be very much in agreement.
I'm a conservative. But I've never quite figured out what it is I'm supposed
to be trying to conserve. Most things I see appear to need conserving with a
bulldozer. Perhaps that makes me a Libertarian. But hardly a pure one.
Cheers from Arkansas,
Michael
