[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 1288222, member: 7795"] Boodocks, 25 years ago I had health insurance I paid for out of my own pocket because I was labor in construction. I carried my own policy because I never new where I would be working or if I would be working. My insurance cost around 4% of my income at the time.....today it is almost 15% and I make a hell of a better income today than I did then. Also, I've been paying for insurance over 30 years....for years and years I never even saw a doctor or had a need for my insurance, I had it for the day I DID need it. My wife pays the same premium I do. Sees the doctor once a year to get one $4 prescription refilled. She has been paying into the system for her entire life also. As we age I have always expected my body to weaken and have the need for more healthcare as I get older. Those "health" choices you speak of have always been baked into the equation. [/QUOTE]
