I shell out, for myself and Dropkid, about $210 a month for health, eye, and dental. I have it REALLY good, I work for a huge university with very strong ties to the local health system. MANY americans with coverage do not get anything near as good. It is shameful that people in this country can't go see a doctor when they are sick and/or hurting.

The last place I worked, just for health coverage for me and the kid, it would have been $350/month, and that coverage was really fucking crappy. Luckily I was on medicaid at the time and they decided we still qualified to be covered under them.

* wants to cut medicaid and medicare, including cuts to the CHIP programs. Those fuckers really hate old people, disabled people, poor people, and children. There is a very special place in hell waiting for them.
