Yeah, but they're a bunch of socialists up there.
Here in California the insurance companies are only required to spend 70 cents on the dollar for actual payments, yep 30% as a billing fee, of course we have the feds paying insurance companies to sell plan D plans to the well-to-do retired too, talk about penny wise and pound foolish.
I suppose we should get used to penny wise and pound foolish with the next congress. Did you guys ever hear about this tax credit Arnold put through?
And do check the dates.

Of course to pay for this he had to pull the rug from under the schools some more, and pulled the rug out from the disabled by cutting in home assistance in half to 4 hours a week among other things. Imagine how many disabled will end up 24/7 in nursing homes that we citizens pay for as a result?
Yep, gotta love that old penny wise lol.

You ought to get a real bargain on life insurance, but the long-term care insurance will bite you in the butt. Remember, zombies are immortal too. Be careful what you wish for.

My old man has to be closing in on 90, if he ain't already there. I think he's still as mean and strong as he ever was.

Was he a fitter too?
BTW, my scab ass stole some work from ya...ran a little black iron to a space heater the other day.
Now my real question is, can you union boys lay your hands on fitting that aren't made in China? I don't must trust that junk.
