Governments have always grown out of control. From the dawn of time they were put there out of need, but they grow into a mother that eats her own children. It is a never ending cycle.

You can absolutly insure a single person for less th 2000 a year.case in point I pay 165 a month multiply by 12 it comes out to1,970 dollars. That is what I pay with no employer help.My wife pays a little over 200 a month for employer sponsered health plan.My coverages are better and my deductable is lower.Maybe we should just do away with employer based healthcare.Then again maybe this is a big city problem.Big city living requires big city money.

Here's a thought granted it's not a good one.Maybe this health care bill in conjunction with all the other recent spending including prevoius administration is to ensure the demise of the dollar in order to pave the way for a one world currancy.

In other words, those that have desired it and have the power to make it happen have been setting the stage to purposely bankrupt the U.S. leaving the U.S. seemingly no other choice but to acquiesce in this way?
When I was half my age, twenty, I would have been horrified at the thought that such a thing was even possible in my lifetime. I'm still horrified at heart, but such a change seems probable now.

Thanked: 116If I am not totally mistaken, the COLA is based on the difference of CPI-W between last year's 3rd trimester and this year's 3rd trimester. This year, the calculation results in a negative COLA but you can't decrease the benefits... ergo no increase this year. You'd have needed massive inflation before the end of September to get a COLA increase.
Yes, I know that the metric used for the calculation sucks as it doesn't represent the average shopping basket of a retiree. That works both ways, that means that for the last decade the retirees received living cost adjustments based on the price increase of goods they didn't buy.
