Hello Janis!

12 Oct 13 16:35, you wrote to me:

No the budget deal has more to do with spending, just as the debt ceiling has
more to do with borrowing..

You are putting stock in comedy heads?

My employer is a NYSE traded company doing business in NA and urope.

My employer self insures, meaning they have Aetna administer the claims bit but
they are funding the payments to the providers less my $30 copay and any
deductibles.. Not all procedures are created and billed equal.

 JK> Have you checked out "the exanges"?

Yes and you apparently dont understand them... If I went to the exchanges I
wouldnt qualify for the tax break or the subsidy because of my employer
offerings. Those like part timers etc, get the tax break and the subsidy and
where are those funds coming from comrade?

I will let you know come 11/06 when we have open enrollment..

Right now I pay $75 bi-weekly, thats pre-tax deduction, your sweetheart wants
to tax that benefit.

Actually she doesnt from the interview I heard.
