[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 655695, member: 4362"] It is bad. Its not right either. Me and some cattle guys were talking about this the other day and one of them made an interesting analogy. (I think that's the word) Anyway, he said if he had a cow that was putting money in the farm account religiously every year and was paying for its keep he would could justify spending money to the vet to keep the cow productive. On the other hand, he said that if the cow was not productive he wouldn't spend a dime on it. Its odd how things are a$$ backward. This year alone, I have already paid enough in taxes to keep three households up yet my family is not privy to any of the programs I'm funding. I had skin cancer last summer. Thankfully, I know a doctor who raises cattle and we worked out a trade outside of his normal business hours. Had to keep hush on this because it sounded like he wasn't supposed to do this due to Sam's regulations. Didn't understnd it myself but end result he worked on me twice and I'm ok now. Its discouraging that I pay in what I do but I can't even find affordable insurance that will actually allow me to use it when others pay nothing and the hospital doors are wide open to them. I do have it but its only going to pay if I'm deathly ill and I best get sick on Jan 1 and no time in December due to the yearly deductible. Sorry for the pity party rant. [/QUOTE]
