Now... I pay around $600 per month and have no dental. My copay to the hospital is $100 and then I have to pay my deductible of $1500 then insurance kicks in at 80/20. Starting January 1st Aetna will no longer cover me and I need to find another plan. From recent reports my healthcare, in PA, will go up at least 30% more. So now i'm close to $800/month and likely a 3K deductible and copays likely $100+.
These are real issues with me... forget Hillary is a corrupt cunt and sells 20% uranium to the Russians to line her own pockets. I'm going to give 10% of my fucking income to healthcare... which I rarely use!
Again, you live in Canada. Why the fuck are you such a cheerleader for that cunt? These are real issues to Americans, not your Canadian issues. This election doesn't effect you, it does me. I hope you can sense my complete frustration right now and also hope you can accept that any man, with any dignity, would never support the witch that wants to continue America's slow destruction.  |
Hi Plaster,
First, I'm sorry your insurance is so high. Canadians have free medicare so I've never had to worry about this the way you do. Having to pay so much for it, plus the fear of possibly losing it or having to pay much more for it in the future must be really stressful on you. That really sucks.
To clarify though, I'm not a cheerleader for Hillary Clinton. However, I think she is the lesser of 2 evils. To her credit, she has the experience, credentials and temperament that make her a far more ideal candidate than Donald Trump. Real or imaginary scandals aside, she's way better than Trump.
All I have been saying all along though, is that I think Hillary will win. Even if you hate her, you have to admit that when debates or gives speeches, she knows and communicates policy. Not all the time, but some of the time. Donald Trump on the other hand, does not. When Trump gives a speech, it is 100% emotion, 0% policy.
I have been betting all along that Trump will lose, but to be really honest with you, I'm pretty nervous about the whole thing. To me, it is completely insane that the race is so close. I will never understand how so many people say they would vote for Trump.
And yes of course, your election affects us Canadians. I've said this before. We are geographic neighbours, trade partners, and almost identical, culturally speaking. What hurts you, hurts us. Trust me, the whole world is watching the US election right now, and everyone is shitting their pants.
