Reply #4: Drop the mandatory insurance customer bill [View All]

[Goldstein1984]

The insurance Industry is parasitic. We shouldn't be mandated to feed it.

My entire retirement fund has been moved out of stocks. My 401k contributions have been reduced to the minimum level necessary to get my employer matching contribution.

I am checking out of the whole citizen = consumption unit scenario.

Want to get the fatcats' attention?--Stop buying stuff you don't need. Buy American when you do need something. Shop local business when you shop. Don't equate spending money with recreation and entertainment.

Even though my insurance covers my prescription medications, I'm not using them and finding non-prescription therapies (not always an option, but it works for me).

We're vegetarian, so we checked out of the beef/pork/poultry consumption market a long time ago.
