The Good Things Illustrated

No denial bcause of preexisting conditions…The big lie.They will just charge you so much you can’t afford it.A mandated 833 dollars per month for the average family. WIN!

Thank goodness for Wonks.Bob, are you going to risk the wrath of her Huffingness by incorporating this into your post on Wed.?

Actually, in the private premium world, men’s rates rise with age and women’s fall. Guys get riskier as they age, women stop having babies. And..ooo, only $10,133 for a family, now that’s affordable. Guess I’m in with those 23 million still not covered.

@ Matt: Her Huffingness has Joe Scarborough on a routine basis. Surely she can handle Bob’s heresy?@ Bob: My first instinct, now that I’ve downed half a bottle of shiraz was to say “I LIEK PICHURZ!” But on reflection, I’m just thrilled you posted it. This is great. Simple, to-the-point, and… well, visual.That said, and I’m not trying to be contrarian, where did the Wonk Room get 54 million from? I didn’t see any source from their post. Just this summer I recall it was 47 mil, many of which were young adults who didn’t have coverage by choice – I read estimates of ~30 million genuinely without coverage.

Actually, in the private premium world, men’s rates rise with age and women’s fall.Really? I’m not of child-bearing age and mine rose 27% this month ’cause I’m having a birthday and that’s the insurance company’s present to me.

23 million is still too many.

I dig this the most!

I bet Igor gives great overhead.
