Insurance leeches

John
Richmond, Va
Heathcare Status: Employer Insured

I have worked for over 30 years and have the option to retire from the State of Virginia, but the cost of the monthly insurance premium for my family will take most of my retirement money. What is left is not enough to pay for food and other living expenses. I have lived very simply and have my house paid for and no credit card debt, and have a little nest egg that I saved for retirement, but the reality is that the exorbitant insurance premiums were not in my calculation. The cost of health insurance is not on a realistic scale with all other living expenses! The profit factor of the insurance companies is holding the American citizens hostage! It has got to stop! If the American people want a change, then stop paying any kind of insurance all together. That will be the greatest revolution ever fought by the people of America without firing a single bullet. Then the pieces will fall into place!
