Over the last 10 years we have paid for health insurance. The premiums have gone up every year. We raised our deductable. Still the premiums increased, often doubling. None of our other costs doubled on an annual basis, why medical?

But the sad part is that all these funds went towards nothing, as everyone is healthy. So out of the thousands and thousands we paid for insurance, we took almost no services.

Now when the wife looks me in the eye and says Mr. Orcastraiter, "I'm not sending these thieves another cent...build me the addition we've wanted for the last 10 years." Mr. Orca hops to it.

There is no calculation to scheme from anyone. In fact if we would have self insured ourselves over the past decade, we would have been able to cover our own medical needs and we would have had the addition built already.

All we want as a family is reasonable care at a reasonable price. Today's insurance rates are not reasonable.
