INSURANCE. Don't get me started. I have insurnace but have to pay over $6,000 (pre-tax) a year to insure my family!
And that's through your employer's health plan? My god, that is OUTRAGEOUS. You're talking two adults and two kids, right? I pay approximately 1/10th of that figure for two adults (Kaiser).
Although the fact that Gaz' employer doesn't kick down any sort of health plan is even worse. I thought there were laws requiring such things. Is that just a California requirement?
