The Kaiser report link ...Really good post, Enigma!<br /><br />The Kaiser report link was about employer-sponsored plans. I can assure you that private insurance plans (like for self-employed or individuals purchasing their own medical insurance) have had even greater increases. <br /><br />In my own case, premiums have risen 100% over the last 4-yrs (a 25% premium increase PER YEAR). And that doesn't even address the additional 20% I pay above the normal group-plan premium rates.<br /><br />If we had a public option, I wouldn't have been forced into the wolf-jaws of private insurance coverage. If we get a public option, I will switch faster than you can say HOORAY! Private medical insurance providers should take note. We are tired of being screwed for no other reason than that we are paying for our own insurance rather than through an employer.D.K.

I've also been covering this ignorance-laden historical moment that should be used to truly change the way our society functions.<br /><br />Thanks for your insights!<br /><br />I've been insuranceless for over 10 years as I'm also long-term jobless in this frightened-of-the-overqualifed economy. I attended a networking event last night where people congratulated me on having such a great (past) career. I didn't have the heart to tell them that I hadn't worked in almost a decade.<br /><br />I like Walking Man's take too.<br /><br />Peace to you and yours,<br /><br />Suzan<br /><br /><i>I do indeed take apart Baucus's Crappy Bill piece by piece from Fines to other Insurance gifts. At this point we need a Public Option for the 30 Million that have been denied care and cancelled. Close to 50 Million UnInsured and Millions more UnderInsured.</i>Cirzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070125217972397204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-33696892016628393072009-09-25T19:55:13.671-04:002009-09-25T19:55:13.671-04:00Incredible post, Enigma...
