Your boss said that!!?! I guess it is not just my imagination that "the Elect" see it that way...

I'd happily pay more taxes if I could go to the doctor. (and as a self-employed, I'm already paying both the employee and employer tax share for myself)

I've never understood why most health insurance covers aliments and injuries, and often a modest amount of preventative care like "check-ups", but doesn't cover dental work, or opthamology, or podiatry. Last time I checked, my teeth, and my eyes, and my feet were all part of my body...
