I've been waiting for you to cleverly work in how the unforeseen consequence of inflation may be a decrease in obesity, long a health care topic you rightfully continue to expose. Good, too, that your boys see you make the sacrifices needed to chase the squash cup man.

Great response from Andrew! Nothing like a chip on your shoulder for motivation…I guess the Feds aren’t smart enough to understand 1) with people retiring and getting on Medicare they don’t need health insurance and that is one reason revenue is lower, the other is most likely due to the increase in premiums there are a lot of people who can’t afford health insurance coverage. Here’s the real situation for a family of 3, you can get High deductible insurance for 800-900/ month, that covers nothing until you achieve a $10k deductible so if you have surgery or extensive medical treatment it helps out and is likely to cover 70/30 or 80/20 after deductible. OR if you can afford it, there’s the $1374 a month plan that lowers the deductible and gives you SOME benefits like copays for GP appointments and 1 yearly physical but you will end up paying for the majority until you hit your deductible of 3500-5000. That’s what real life choices are for most people these days unless you’re lucky enough to have company insurance and you still have to pay for it but at much lower cost
