dangerous disparities
The thing that should be said here is this health coverage system collapse affects pretty much everyone, even fairly successful mid-level executives (VPs and the like) at big corporations - the type of people making well into the six figures. If your company provides health insurance, there's a good chance you are getting less for more money than you were paying 5 years ago.
I saw an article today about the sinking home market in wealthy zip codes. They said that the medium end - $2M to $6M homes - have gotten hit hard. But the ultra-high end is setting records, still.
Its really something that should give most of us pause. A tiny slice of ultra-rich and ultra-powerful people floating high above, succeeding wildly and making more money than ever while the rest of the country crashes and burns is really something you would expect more in Russia or Mexico, not the USA.
