GOD! I miss the days when my policy was in force as long as I paid the damn premium. I miss not having to deal with figuring out how I&rsquo;m being fucked differently this year as opposed to last year. &nbsp;Only our government could fuck up a simple transaction.<\/p>\n<p>I pay you&#8230; you keep the contract in force it&rsquo;s a really simple arrangement. I don&rsquo;t have to review my car insurance or my homeowners insurance and renegotiate the deal every year. I shouldn&rsquo;t have to do it with health insurance, except that apparently because of phased implementation we all get the &ldquo;Joy&rdquo; of reviewing all the wonderful shit that folks like Nancy Peolsi couldn&rsquo;t be bothered to read before their &ldquo;Rubber Stamp&rdquo; vote on the &ldquo;Messiah&rsquo;s&rdquo; healthcare plan.<\/p>\n<p>I don&rsquo;t blame &lsquo;ol stompy foot for the healthcare bullshit.
