Although I've never been put directly on a state payroll, my salary comes out of grants from the federal government. <br /><br />But yeah, I think you really nailed by saying I contribute to the economy but I'm not wealthy... it's the same problem with student loans. Being too rich to qualify for a lot of aid but too poor easily pay for it yourself. <br /><br />Anyway, to the extent I've made use of it my new insurance isn't so bad but I haven't had the need to visit an ER yet, which is where I think you get screwed the most. It strikes me as deeply fucked up that I made an appointment in January for a doctor's visit in April and that if I ended up in the ER, my insurance company would probably say "well you should have gone to see your primary care physician. $3000 deductible, neener neener, go fuck yourself." (This is a different insurance than the old one I had, the old one I had I actually went to a doctor in the network -who sucked- and still got billed a couple hundred in facilities fees or some shit.)<br /><br />Um, I digress.
