The Great Healthcare Debate


Here we are, the end of July and instead of enjoying the lazy, hazy days of summer, we all seem to be worried about healthcare. How should we solve the great crisis facing this country? Well, I'll admit, I'm more caught up with the outcome of the 'beer discussion' at Barack's.

What I am worried about is my own healthcare debate. On Friday, my insurance with will run out (since my contract ended at the end of June.) The federal government will subsidize a good percentage of my Cobra (extended insurance coverage when you are unemployed) but the cost would still be an additional monthly payment in an already tight budget of a Millennial.

Whoa is me:( I can't marry into the Navy insurance which is a shame with Barack's recent announcement of Federal employee benefits extended to same sex couples. As my girlfriend would say, "What gets more Federal than the Navy?"

To pay for Cobra or live on the edge?
Unless, we found another (male) Navy couple in the same debate. Double wedding? Hmmm...Bad idea?
