Affordable Health Insurance was one of the biggest issues of yesterday’s election. While I can always hope for a universal health care system that will leave no one in the cold, I am not holding my breath. I think the best we can hope for is the economy to turn around and President Obama to get his programs passed.
Health Insurance like it or not is still going to be a major issue for those of us who don’t have an employer. While I no longer fear that a McCain presidency would cut my disability benefits, I still have to worry that Katy (my wife for those of you who don’t know) will find an employer with benefits we can afford. It is simply ridiculous the way some employers tout how they provide insurance for their workers. When the insurance costs on a quarter to a third of a person’s salary and the deductible is an entire paycheck or more for just the single worker no one buys it because they can’t afford it. It is ridiculous to the extreme.
While I think I am safe for now, I do worry about what other self employed people are going to have to go through. So to my fellow bloggers, and all other self employed breathren I wish you the best of luck and say search online for some affordable health coverage.
