Not here in the people's socialist republic where no one can be turned down for health care insurance and the companies are forbidden by law from charging unhealthy people more for their premiums. As a result I pay $911.23 a month for my families health care insurance the same exact amount that someone who has cancer, heart disease and diabities pays. Wonderful, ain't it?
