So beginning in 2014 there are no more surcharges! Also, in 2014, you won't need a PIN number to get money out of the ATM and by 2016 you won't even need a card! Yay, were moving in the right direction.

Dependent Health Coverage (State Implementation Brief)


I already pointed that out to them. I was informed I was incorrectly interpreting the legislation. Two days later my Principal counseled me concerning upsetting employees in the Benefits office.

How dare you pick on Andy Griffith! Andy Griffith was a decent and moral man who probably did more for this country during a time of great social and political upheaval than any 50 Republicans have ever done. Andy Griffith is what all Americans should be. Strong but compassionate. People that offer others a hand up and not a hand out. People that stand for what is right and just. That is what Andy Griffith is and always has been. If we more Andys and less Madonnas and Paris Hiltons, we'd get this country moving again!

I'm for single-payer socialized medicine and if I have to pay $2K a year in extra income taxes, I have no problem. I'm for removing profit from the medical industry. Practitioners can still get paid a decent salary, but the profits made on the suffering of others has to be terminated.
I feel exactly the same way!

I'm for removing profit (a legal requirement) from 1/6th of the US economy.

Why stop there? Why not 1/4, 1/2 or 1/1?

BTW, I did catch the commercial and came in from the other room, thinking I recognized that old guys' voice. Wonder if he really does support it; or probably just needed the money since we haven't seen a lot of The Andy Griffith Show lately. Is Barney still alive?
Don Knotts died some years back. And you can see the Andy Griffith show on TV Land at 4:00 and 4:30 every weekday. You can also buy the DVDs of the series and visit the museum and other sites in Mayberry (really called Mt Airy) North Carolina. And he has plenty enough money. Don't forget he still gets paid for Matlock too.

Wow. I hope you don't have to pay for their odd interpretation of the law. Very odd.

Andy Griffith should curl up and pass into the next world. I liked his TV show too but he was always a far left loon. Don't be fooled by what you saw on TV. Oh wait, you're an obama supporter. Never mind...

I'm glad that the majority support a health care system that exceeds what was passed because as we all know, including conservatives, majority rules.

So you have a bad employer, that makes the law wrong?
