Original article: Healthcare needs you

did the rep from IBM mention that

A) their premium costs to the employees have risen on average 15%/year for each of the last 10 years.

B) coverage is dropping steadily year by year

C) $150 is less than half of one month's premium for one of their average plans

So basically the secret to affordable health care is

never get sick

never be related to anyone who's ever been sick

spend more money

eat healthier so they don't have to pay for that procedure you need, which they aren't going to cover anyway.
