hmmm

if we get a national health care option, and everyone who doesnt have private insurance gets on it, and then there's a major H1N1 pandemic like they're predicting this fall....

that's gonna suck. cause it will still be a new system, without the financial resources built up to handle a large scale payout so early in the game.

oooo boy.

oh, I'm not thinking civilization crumbling apocolypse, I'm thinking major health care reform with best of intentions going horribly wrong and dragging my insurance with it so I'll have to pay for my own until they figure it out.

fortunately I'm (mostly) in a position where I can do that, but good planning will help limit impact....

maybe I shouldnt be reading those CDC updates :)
