There's no magical formula to making the insurance cheaper. You may be able to cut a little here or there, but the cost of a doctor is the cost of a doctor. But what you want is for someone to flat-out pay for your insurance for you if you're unemployed. And that's bullshit.

If you want insurance when you're unemployed, I offer you three choices: save your cash while you're working and resist the temptation of that shiny red pickup, get another job, or go without. Another option to get cheap, basic insurance while you're looking for another job. Maybe you just can't afford the high-line insurance if you don't have an employer willing to help you pay the premium.

In sum, you lazy redneck fuckers need to give up on your dream of having another taxpayer pay your way through life. Ford's had the welfare dream his whole life, and look where it's gotten him: fat, disgruntled, and stupid. Look where it got JHale - he became the boy who cries racism.

^^Libertardian dickheads. Doing more for the public option than Ford, or Dr. Dean for that matter, ever could!
