    Maybe Clutchfans can help you find Health Insurance, if you live in America

    Why do you think Texas being the worst in one of the most fundamental aspects of quality of life for citizens is funny?

    It's obvious you lived a privileged life.:D

    I have insurance through work

    I thought it was usually through a talking duck or lizard

    if I didn't have a job, then a Cobra would give me insurance

    I have good and inexpensive insurance for military retirees. One of the benefits of staying in 20 years. Those last 10 years were the hardest, but I'm glad I stayed in.

    Have you ever looked into how much Cobra costs? What it covers? Just hope that you never need to use it. The cost is outrageous. A good friend of mine was on it briefly when a deal fell through on an IPO he was working on.

    I have car insurance as well.

    I actually had to pay for all of it, my employer doesn't cover any costs.

    Lizard told me about it, saves me money so I can afford to contribute to Clutchfans

    Oh cost of insurance data is cool. But this thread is for arbitrary Rocket fan info. Cool I’ll see myself out.

    you are mistakenly believing that everyone on Clutchfans now is a Rockets fan. Especially now in the D&D where you have posters (i've investigated) that have never posted in the GARM at all.

    Are people who post on Clutchfans a good representation of the nation if they are Americans?

    Like the BBQ thread , members post their data results.

    I guess people in the D&D get really sensitive when polls pop up.
    It's like Lilith fair instead of Coachella

    Americans pay too much for health insurance and everyone should be covered.

    America is the land of citizens paying for the negative externality costs of big businesses...

    None of this should be debated at this point.

    Thanks Affordable Care Act. You've made insurance quite affordable.

    I'm a Hakeem/Rudy Rockets fan. I'm not a Landrys Rocket fan.
