Every time you think you know just how damn bad the health care system in this country sucks, you come across a new piece of information and you have to shake your head. Today’s piece of information? The Attorney General of New York has six full time staffers who do nothing but call and yell at your shitty insurance company for you.

Ever tried to get health insurance from someone other than an employer? Then you know that the system fucking sucks. Every state is different, every company is different, the rules are completely obtuse and the market for self-insured people is so small that we all get screwed on options and pricing. It’s part of the reason there are 47 million Americans (and one Wonketteer) without health insurance coverage. And what do your Republican Presidential candidates want to do about it? Tax breaks!
