Changing role models

I had used to want to be Tina Turner when I grew up. But now?

Now, I think I want to be Momma Gkika.

Here's a fun game

Go here: http://www.anthem.com/health-insurance/plans-and-benefits/health-insurance-plan/ME

Click the blue button on the upper right corner that says Compare Quote Apply Online

Fill in the form: zipcode is 04901 county is Kennebec Your applicant is male or female born on some date that you find felicitous in 1952. Your spouse is male or female, natal day sometime in 1950. No children. Hit the orange button at the bottom of the form that says Get A Quote.

Note that the rates you will receive on the next page will change (i.e. Go UP) on June 30.

Take a look at the offerings. Play with the drop-down boxes. Have a ball.

Note that Anthem is THE health insurance provider for individual policies in the state of Maine, unless you count the semi-scam MEGAhealth. Dirigo Health Care (created by the former governor of Maine to provide...more affordable... health insurance to individual and small (as in one or two or ten person) businesses), is in the process of being dismantled by Mayor LePage, so is no longer an option -- not that it ever was much of an option, as byzantine as its payment system was.

Now! Who wants to take the side that the insurance industry isn't freaking outta control?
