I did buy health insurance from Blue Shield for 18 years, and before that my employers provided it. My first surgery cost my insurance company $87,000 at the VA hospital, which the VA was very happy to collect. But after age 60, with existing conditions, insurance is very expensive, so now you can help me pay for it.
Now go away.
