What really makes my blood boil is when I see in the news that they have contributed millions to a charity/cause of their choice.

If they didn't charge me so much , I could give more to my own charity choice.

My premium also is increasing somewhere around 30% effective Jan. 1. I got the notice a couple weeks ago and immediately started trying to find a comparable plan at a better price and couldn't!!

And how much have the 'given' to elected officials that you haven't heard about? I suspect what you have heard about would pale in comparison.

I have also looked around... and all other plans are similar in price to my new hiked up rate.

Corporate america is making the final push to eliminate the middle class.

Banks paying 0.00002% interest on savings, while charging 33.3333% on credit card balances.
$5 gas, cause they can
Make nothing, imported deadly products from China.
Import every product possible.
Export every job possible.

And the government is in on the deal, cause the elected legislators, i.e. the 'government' are already owned by corporate america.

We need them to change the laws so we can purchase insurance from other states and encourage more competiton.

I have a BCBS plan on my daughter. It usually goes up about $15 each year as she gets older (she'll be 19 in January). I just got the bill for January and it went from $150 to $240...that's 60%. I'll definitely be on the phone Monday.
