How this degenerated from a legitimate question about obtaining health insurance, to a diatribe about politicians who stand to the left of Attila the Hun, I don't know.  Health insurance is a legitimate concern of piano technicians - the purpose of this list.  Politics, while a concern of piano technicians, is generally considered inappropriate to this list and unnecessary.
