Health Careless 1
Report from the field:
Two women were laid off today – the only two with health insurance. When my wife asked why she was being laid off, the reply was quick, “Because you and her have health insurance and I must reduce costs.”
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Better get used to it. It will happen more & more.
What floors me though, is the fact everyone seems concentrated on the people who are losing their insurance by losing their jobs, but seem to have forgotten the 47 mil who didn’t have any to begin with.
There are people who, if they can’t get health insurance, they get life insurance. Pathetic.
