Bradford, I know what you are talking about, just for me and my two girls, I'm paying over $800 a month, Luckily my wife gets here insurance thru her company, if she didn't, I'd have to pay another $800 a month. For what the insurance companies have paid out for my wife and for my daughter, I'm getting a bargain. But it still hurts knowing my family's biggest single expense out of my pocket each month goes to health insurance, its more than all my utilities combined, or my house payment. being self employed, I don't have any choice. Oh, and on the subject of pension or retirement, my 401 sucks, my mutual fund isn't doing squat. The money in each of them came out of my pocket, no company contribution. So for all the peolpe that have these kind of benifits, that feel they are intitled to have them, keep complaining, you'll find you self in an unemployemnt line
