A stupid generalization made by employed ppl.

When I retired, I had enough money to pay for med insurance, but my carrier
wouldn't carry me. Ever heard of COBRA. It's a govt law that FORCES your
carrier (when employed) to carry you for 18 more mos after layoff, cuz if
the law didn't exist, your carrier would drop you in a healthy heartbeat,
whether you could pay or not. I couldn't get med insurance to save my life.
Kaiser? "Your more than 10 lbs overweight." qBlue Cross? "No such plan."
Bah! ...humbug.

Don't tell me about med insurance. The state of health care in this country
is criminal.
