Jenkins went on to tell Smith that "people should be given the opportunity to take care of themselves with a refund, or an advanceable [sic] tax credit, to go be a grown-up and go buy the insurance."
I would love to go buy insurance. Under the current system, though, I'm pretty sure no one would sell it to me. And all the proposed rules about insurance companies having to take everybody, or about them having to cover preexisting conditions, keep getting shot down by Republicans because they're limits on freedom.
Corporate freedom, Hil!
I love that within a few hours of a neighbor posting plant giveaways, they're all gone, but others are chiming in in response to requests for stuff that they have to share. I love this hood.
Thanks, -t and Calli. I've been working summers in MI for years so I've had the fudge in TC, but since this was my first trip to the island I figured fudge was required.
BGE guy is still sitting out in his van. Um. GAS LEAK.
Oh god. NBC is remaking Prime Suspect. Leave it alone, people. Helen Mirren already won Emmys for that, didn't she?
re: insurance
The universe looks after me and Hubby in odd ways. This news story is about my insurance/hospital/doctor system, Intermountain Healthcare.
President Barack Obama has repeatedly singled out Intermountain, along with the Mayo and Geisinger clinics and other so-called "organized practices," for delivering high-quality care at below-average costs. They are "islands of excellence in the sea of high cost mediocrity" as one Dartmouth report puts it; standouts in a country where cost and quality can vary wildly by geographic region.

One of the big reasons I haven't seriously thought of moving out of Utah is because these folks have kept Hubby alive for over a decade, and I don't want to take him away from them.
How many times has Hollywood not ruined British TV? There's The Office...
My god, who would they get to star in that? The only person I can think of is Glen Close, and she is occupied.
