You people chose to live where you do – dont expect the rest of the nation to foot the bill because you built in a vulnerable place – if your insurance doesnt cover it, too bad…….. oh wait, this isnt the southeast coastal regions this time, is it? i guess it will be okay to suck off the public teet to rebuild then…..
Is this the same Jewel that was so sarchastic to me about big CEO bonus\’ and salaries?
I can\’t believe what I\’m reading.
you only want to pay whats fair?
Jeeze make up your mind.
Last week you were arguing with me on the very issue you agree with today!
Tisk tisk Morcia… an ax to grind perhaps? What makes you believe the northeast would, as you put it, \”suck off the public teet\”? Just look at the good folks from New Hampshire, heck they even paint \”Live free or die\” on their license plates… not exactly a welfare state.
People in most areas of the country pay for their own insurance without whinning about how expensive it is all the time. Unlike some in the coastal states we don\’t expect the rest of the country to foot our living (insurance) expenses.
I\’m starting to wonder if all the sun and humidity down in the southeast coastal areas are affecting people where as they are delusional to the point where they are expecting the rest of the county to help support them by offsetting their insurance costs — Strange that you haven\’t heard people from NJ, Boston, etc. asking for help after all the rain and flooding they\’ve had in the past week or people from the Midwest (after damages done by tornados/hail/flood/snows) asking for help the same way as some southeast coastal residents do.
I think there is a huge assumption being made here. Not everyone (or even mostly everyone) in the southeastern states expects to be subsidized any more than people in other states. There are a lot of vocal people; the media spins the story to suit them and to stir up controversy. That is how the rest of the U.S. then views the southeastern states. I don\’t want a government handout; I don\’t want other people to subsidize my insurance premiums or any other part of my income, etc. Neither does anyone else I know. I just want to pay my fair share, no more and no less (but the less the better- ha ha).
I can understand where you are coming from but our part of the country is not any different than anywhere else. Lots of people want something for nothing. No matter which part of the US they live in.
What I would like to know is how many people who complain about subsizing premiums for others were eligible for the earned income credit on their taxes this year. That would open a whole new can of worms.
The real shame is how people don\’t take responsibility for their actions (or lack thereof) and want others to bail them out. This happens everywhere, not just the southeastern US, by the way. I am all for helping others, but where does it end?
It all ends when people are made to be accountable for their actions and the attorneys are prohibited from suing everyone and sliding the accountability off to bystanders. For instance, recently a 22 year old (in Michigan I think) drank too much, drove, and killed himself and a passenger when he hit a tree. An attorney is hired for the parents of the driver, and he sues the bar and bartender. Isn\’t it the kids fault for drinking and driving, it is someone else\’s fault. It isn\’t my fault I got lung cancer from smoking even though all the warnings exist saying don\’t smoke, it is the manufacturers\’ fault for making them.
By the way, next week I am going to court to sue McDonald\’s for serving me french fries when I paid for them. You see, I have a bad cholesterol problem. It\’s been so rough; at the end of May I have a court date because I am suing Nike. You see, I was going out for a Happy Meal (I was going to say jog- ha ha!) and I didn\’t lace up my sneakers. So I ran in the parking lot to get in before they closed and- WHAM! I fell on my face. They should put warning labels on sneakers- TIE SHOES BEFORE WALKING, etc. Anyhow, I should probably sue McDonald\’s too for my clumsiness and the oil manufacturer because I slipped on an oil spot in the parking lot. Did I miss anything?

Morcia,
But the Northeast is the insurance capital of the world!
They deserve special treatment.
You couldn\’t have written your statement better!
my hats off to you!

I missed a syllable. Subsidizing…
