OK, somebody here recently was having a problem getting insurance for the second year in a row...
Who was that?

Mr. Downtown, IIRC

That is exactly why I posted. Yet people complained about an opportunity to get health care.

I would have posted this regardless of who was president.

Jeez, who got a burr in their saddle over this post?

I'll try to enroll in something, too. Maybe it will be cheaper.

I'm guessing that adding the provocative parenthetical statement "(not a political post, please don't complain)" to the title is what got this sent to the political side. Without that it was not remotely political.

I don’t find that “provocative”.

Sarcany just posted the same information, and link, without the word "political" in the title. Let's see if anyone notices!

It provokes by calling attention to the fact that someone might have cause to complain. On top of that, the suggestion that it might be political just adds fuel to the fire. If that's not provocative, I don't know what is.
