#1 Obamacare is not helping. Just got notice from my health insurance company that next month my premium is going up $57/month - or 8.7%. Now, $754/month for me (51) and my two teenage sons. The coverage isn't great either.
It's like "OMG" - this can't go on.

#3 I think Americans are coming to the conclusion that government isn't the answer.

#4 Are the doctors supposed to send out teams of investigators to determine all the facts about each and every snake bite or can they just take the patients' word for it?

#5 And each one of those codes opens up the possibility of denying coverage for equally inane bureaucratic reasoning.
Of course the real reason is to save money and kill off the unworthy.

#6 ...of course, like the NHS, the 'worthy' will have a separate tier of (fully subsidized) coverage.

#7 An obvious solution to the problem of suffocating regulatory burden is to create a Bureau of Regulatory Oversight to monitor and evaluate the various regulatory agencies, and to implement and enforce the edicts of the new Regulatory Czar.

#9 A former co-worker of mine said he wanted to be the Commissioner of Bullsh*t. He would look at a decision like this, declare it bullsh*t, and it would be undone.
Very unlikely in today's climate.

#10 I think the main non-financial reason people retire is not due to age, but the fact that a person can only take so much BS in life, and when you've reached that quota of BS, you either retire, die, or go postal.
