Just Me,
I teach as well, But I teach my kids at home. This past year I used Animal Farm.
.
Another teacher story for you: My running buddy is a public school teacher. She had insurance for her self(free)and 1 dependent, (400 a month) thru the school district. After my shock wore off of how much she paid for her 1 dependent, I encouraged to go look thru the private market to buy a policy for her ashmatic son. She found a policy for her needs, $110 a month with a deductible. The amount she saved monthly, goes towards to putting away for the deductible and she increased the amount she puts away for retirement. A quote from her, “I feel like I got a raise,”
.
“Seniors who can’t afford medicine.” There are low income programs fromm the pharm companies.
“Millions without health insurance.” Yes you’re right, but if you change the number to percentages…That’s about 89% WITH insurance.
.
I don’t think anyone disaggrees with the goal of reform, it’s the method of reform that is being argued. I for one believe in competition, not an eventual single payer system. I don’t trust the current adminstration to keep us from going down that road.
