Health care is hitting even the upper middle class. All you need is one person in your family to be hit with a bad accident or a serious, long term illness. I'm not sure but I doubt lifetime caps (or other per incident or illness caps) have risen. I have seen some of them even decline in the face of ever increasing costs. That means more insured people will be squeezed in the future. The US health care system has turned into a casino with only luck and enough money keeping people ahead of the game...for now. It is a bad system that is badly out of control. It creates massive anxiety for many and is acting like cement on job mobility and job growth for small businesses (who create most of the job growth for the economy). === I'm also disgusted with someone like McBush coming out against a modern version of the GI Bill. It's not even that generous and he and Bush are against it. They aren't against $2.5-$3 Billion/week in Iraq's war for oil profits but they are against spending a few billion rewarding people who put their life on the line for ExxonMobil et al. They are such greedy, nasty people it is a wonder they get such a pass from the media.
