[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 582837, member: 1550"] nerfie, that was smart. Our gov., who I can't say much about here because it would be censored, thinks the sequester is great and turned down the extra medicaid because "Everyone can afford $19.00 a month for insurance!" What he isn't thinking about is the huge $5000 deductibles for all of those in the family and, frankly, he is one who believes that healthcare is a luxury. If you can afford it, like he can, GREAT. If not, well, go to the emergency room and they'll take care of it. So we are the only midwest state (I believe) that has to deal with this mindset, leaving it tempting to move across the state lines to MN or IL. Or, heck, cross the border in Canada :) If my kids weren't here, hub and I would probably see if we could retire to Canada or even Mexico, which I hear is a nice place to retire to. I have lost faith in the country I loved with all my heart. I always felt we were the greatest country in the world...(sigh). by the way, they say one of the biggest hits will go to our kids who have special needs. Ain't that grand? [/QUOTE]
