Costs

<a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FARM_SCENE?SITE=MTBIL&SECTION=BUSINESS&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT">Farmers struggling with insurance costs</a><br />n<br />nHell, what more can I say. The title says it all. I know health insurance costs are a problem for a lot of people but for certain groups I see a real problem. Those groups? Farmers, ranchers, small businessmen. Why?<br />n<br />n<blockquote>Researchers pointed out that farmers and ranchers often must purchase more expensive insurance because they do not have an employer-sponsored plan to help offset costs.<br />n<br />n"Those who purchase insurance in the non-group market are more likely to face financial strains due to medical costs than other insured people," the study said.</blockquote><br />n<br />nYep, don't fall into one of those nice group plans and believe me, you pay an arm and a leg for health insurance. What's the answer? I don't think anyone knows the answerer to that one. Any solution offered has problems associated with it and there is problems with the present situation so the perfect solution remains unclear.<br />n<br />nStruggle along, day in day out is the only solution I know. <br />n<br />n<strong>I'm trying to forget how much that cost, but I just had to have them.
