SBV Bullsh*t here is a REAL issue
-
I could post links to the latest developments in the SBV bullsh*t but I would rather look at real issues and real facts. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&e=3&u=/ap/20040827/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/census_poverty[^] WASHINGTON - The number of Americans living in poverty increased by 1.3 million last year, while the ranks of the uninsured swelled by 1.4 million, the Census Bureau reported Thursday. It was the third straight annual increase for both categories. Not a 35 year old story, a FACT.

Another real fact: being self-employed, I pay for my own health insurance, which cover myself and my son. In the last year, my monthly insurance premium has gone up $50, from $212 to $262 per month. So, that stupid $600 tax rebate of Bush's simply went to paying the extra $600 / yr in insurance costs (or, if you read my other post, toward paying my taxes!). Either way, I certainly didn't "invest" that tax rebate. Marc Microsoft MVP, Visual C# MyXaml MyXaml Blog Hunt The Wumpus RealDevs.Net

One wrote a vague report that he apparently couldn't even be bothered to fill out properly which the insurance have used to not pay me for the last year, yet when challenged by my solicitors that the report was vague and incomplete they didn't even try to defend the report and are currently reviewing the case. Money payed to insurance :- Lots Money received for illness over the last 2 years :- 0 Hope you never need it pseudonym67 My Articles[^] "They say there are strangers who threaten us, In our immigrants and infidels.
