Ensuring Catastrophe



Recently Massachusetts has made the news due to the fact that it has the most expensive healthcare in the nation - an astounding $13,788 to insure a family of four. See my prior post here.

I just got off the phone with my brother who recently moved overseas. On the way out, he changed his legal US address from Virginia, to our parents' house in Central Massachusetts.

In doing so, his catastrophic healthcare insurance premium skyrocketed over 100%.

It went from $90 to a whopping $210 per month!

Funny. That's almost EXACTLY the same amount as the 'bill' for a family of four to cover our annual defense budget.

Seems about right.

It almost goes without saying that Big Military should also be chopped in half.
