this interests me, one, bcuz it is the first time i saw cb lose his cool, and 2, 1st time i've seen law have to resort to this type of behavior, and 3, you guys are also talking about me.

this year i lost my med ins due to divorce. i am a part time worker and a part time single mom. i had no house and an 11 yr old car when i was asked to leave.

as a single mom, i had to buy a house (rents up here are worse than mortgages), get a new used car (the body started rusting outta the old one), and i had to pick up med ins. (as well as little things like a bed, dishes, EVERYTHING).

i was told just what you said by the ins guy: we pay the rates we do bcuz we have to cover the med expenses of those not insured. so, i got a fairly cheap policy with a hefty deductible, but you better believe i got a policy.

while i feel for cb's friend, as we all know stuff happens, that is why we all need to have insurance. i do think the govt needs to get involved here, but for now, they arent. just my 2 cents.
