It was '87 or '88 while I was working for Stone & Webster Engineering (out of Boston) that my health insurance tripled. What the heck? I inquired. I was told, "Legislation past at the state level" was the reason. Turns out Massachusettes passed laws stating that insurance companies had to pay for AIDS treatments. AIDS?
I was living in Texas and Texas had no such laws. My insurance was tripled because of Massachusettes laws. I never would catch AIDS anyway. I simply had to pay for those who did have AIDS, in Massachusettes.
This OBAMACARE seems even worse for me now. At retirement, I no longer remain on my long anticipated company insurance plan. I will pay an extreme amount for less coverage. It seems others get it for practically nothing.
