(and we all kow those types don't lower themselves > to use a keyboard) Well, I do use a keyboard, I'm not pegged at the top tax rate, and the rate is a percentage of my AGI (not gross income). Now, I can get that low rate because I don't buy "premium" insurance into an HMO that covers everything. I keep deductibles high enough based on what I feel I can afford to pay out-of-pocket. Most medical CARE I _do_ pay out of pocket, which frees me to see _any_ doctor I want, and if they are "too busy" I go somewhere else if I feel I need to. As John Haugh mentioned, basic insurance is relatively inexpensive, and available for just under $50/month. > Basically he seemed to have no connection to reality in the workplace. Lack of your belief is not a sign I'm not connected to reality. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - David L.
