Healthcare just went up again...

The healthcare issue in the United States is reaching critical perportions and my "health" insurance just went up again .... almost $1,000 a month.  This entitles my husband and myself ... who have no preexisting conditions, to have a $5,000 deductable if we become desperately ill and have enter the health care system ... is it any wonder why we need to have a bit of comic relief?

I just read this and it makes perfect sense to me:

1. The Japanese eat  very little fat

       and suffer  fewer heart attacks than  Americans.

2. The Mexicans  eat a lot of  fat

       and suffer fewer heart attacks than  Americans. 

3. The Chinese  drink very little  red wine 

       and  suffer fewer heart attacks than  Americans.

4. The  Italians drink a lot of red  wine

       and suffer fewer heart attacks than  Americans.  

5. The Germans  drink a lot of beers and eat lots of  sausages and fats  

       and suffer fewer heart attacks than   Americans. 

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like.

Speaking  English is apparently what kills  you.
