Yeah, innit great! The Alabamistan Democrats made RahmE look like an amateur. I cleaned up Alabamistan, now it's time to move next door to continue the trend. ;-)

Nonsense. "Medicare is a national social insurance program, administered by the U.S. federal government." Wiki, but everybody knows it's socialistic. For Pete's sake, Ronald Reagan called it socialism. You don't believe Ronald Reagan? Please don't say "Keep your filthy gov paws off my Medicare."

Just shows how it's socialism. If she didn't work a day in her life, she would still get Medicare because I did work. Even though a single man would pay the same tax as me. Socialistic. Let's say she was always single. She pays a tenth of Medicare taxes than some higher earners. But she'll get the same benefits. Socialistic. More so than SS, another socialist system. As far as I can tell you can go on Medicare if you've been a legal U.S. resident 5 years, even if you never worked. Just have pay a premium of "up to $451." That implies it's income-adjusted. Even at $451, a 65-year-old won't find a match on the private market. Insurance companies would go belly up insuring old people - people can't afford the premium. That's also why Medicare is in dire financial straits - not enough premium paid. It all points to....socialism. Or maybe death panels. If you're on Medicare, you're benefitting from socialized medicine. Voluntarily too - you don't have to go on Medicare, or even stay on it. If you're opposed to Medicare, and just want your money back, you could add up what you paid in, add some compound interest to it, then after Medicare gives that amount back to wealthy medical providers who fix you up, cancel your Medicare and wing it. That would be the "honorable" course for those opposed to socialism. Give you that righteous, "clean" feeling. Otherwise, just be a good socialist and don't bite the hand that feeds you. That's my plan.

Did you happen to miss the details of the Northridge e/q and its impact on the insurance industry?

Your general location, specific lot characteristics and details of your house along with your financial situation will determine if e/q insurance makes sense.

If one examines the effects of Long Beach, Sylmar, Whitter, Northrdige, Landers e/q's and relates them to a specific property, one can quickly see if e/q insurance is worth the premium.

Hmmmm..seems like someone doesn't quite understand the concept of true insurance and mistakes the taxpayers' wallet for an insurance fund.

When are the Commiecrats gonna get it through their thick skulls that people vote with their feet? The same thing happens in commerce, if you don't treat customers right, they go someplace else. o_O
