    I'm self employed too, but I get health insurance through my wife's employer. However, we get cheap life insurance (and we could also get quite reasonable supplemental health insurance if we wanted) through IEEE. My point is that being self employed does not mean you are alone - try to get membership in a large group like IEEE (practically everyone with some sort of technical/scientific education can join) and buy coverage through them. There are other, non technical, groups out there as well doing the same thing. For example, check out http://personalinsure.about.com/od/health/a/aa042808a.htm

  3. So more people thinks its just right or doesn't go far enough then the 10 % who want it repealed.

    If Obama would have fought for the public option it would have been a big winner .Obama only has himself to blame for caving to republicans

    AP-GfK Poll: Public backs GOP on taxes, not health
    (AP) – 1 day ago

    WASHINGTON (AP) — People back Republican tax cut plans but not the GOP campaign to repeal President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, according to a poll suggesting that the Republicans' big Election Day win was not a mandate for the party's legislative wish list.

    When it comes to the health care law Obama signed in March, just 39 percent back the GOP effort to repeal it or scale it back. Fifty-eight percent would rather make even more changes in the health care system or leave the measure alone.

    The poll underscored deep partisan divides on taxes and health care. About three-quarters of Republicans want extended tax cuts to include the wealthiest, while nearly two-thirds of Democrats want to exclude the wealthy. While 61 percent of Republicans want to repeal Obama's health overhaul, 85 percent of Democrats want to expand it or leave it in place.

    Among independents, about half want the tax cuts to include those with the highest incomes. About two-thirds want to preserve Obama's health package or strengthen it.

  10. MN. And thanks to Obamacare I'll be losing my coverage, being forced into the exchange where I'll be paying even more than I am now.
