Thanks to the Obama administration it's very affordable...check it out...it is NOT 775 unless maybe you have a huge family....mine's about $500 cheaper.

Myself, 25. Hairstylist full time, and thankfully have been healthy thus far. Non-corporate working environments rarely offer decent insurance.

I can't believe you want to continue on with this. It's probably so you can say that I can't let anything drop. Anyway, the illegal is portrayed as a hispanic construction worker, judging by the style of dress, cap, etc.

hispanic contruction worker? holy crap.

i see a guy with a ballcap and a mustache.

why do you insist on seeing a 'hispanic contruction worker'?

seems odd, especially coming from someone so quick to scream racism

I said this a LONG, LONG time ago... people said my numbers were wrong... I used the numbers from the US government... I even SHOWED ALL of my calculations... it didn't matter... they thought the plan would let them pay less.... they didn't care who or what, they rather you pay for them... its nice when you get to keep someone else's money they worked for...

That is the stereotype, ya know? And now I see this for what it is: a trap. If I say what I posted, YOU call me racist for seeing what I think the cartoonist was attempting to show, which you knew darn well. Pretty coy of you! As they say in gymnastics, "Stick It".
