And because the stupid mourning dove nesting in our chimney was distracting me, I forgot to point out either here or there that if he had a 42-dollar monthly payment, what he had is one of those fig-leaf policies that was illegal from 2012 to 2017. Should I point that out, or will he just rage?

Obamacare is responsible for the fact that I recently paid roughly a thousand dollars to discover there is apparently nothing wrong with my heart, rather than 5,000. With insurance, the ECG was 2700 bucks, of which my end was the rest of my deductible, or about 700 dollars. I don’t even want to know what they charge some poor bastard who doesn’t have the Blue Cross/Blue Shield negotiated rate. Oh, and then there was the 600 dollars in blood work that wound up costing me 25 bucks, and the 50 dollar copay to see the cardiologist, who otherwise would have apparently charged me 350 dollars for the 10 minute consult.
