Something struck me as both ironic and funny when I read this.

Let me know when you figure it out. That and your politics.

From the title, I thought you were anouncing a new boat coming out
on
the market or something like that.


No chance of that. She's not interested in such a thing.



Another Krueger?


No idea if she's interested in that.


Except that I probably will buy something in the next couple of months,
which is what I've said for a while. Now you know.



What's on your short list?


I thought the portaboat was interesting, but I want something with cushions
on the side. I'm tentatively settled on one of the Walker Bays if I can find
one to touch. I don't want to buy one online.. too much hassle.



Have you considered a catamaran like the Hobie?

Seems like it would be much more stable than the others and it looks cool!

Tell the plum that the Walker bay is a mooring tender at best. If she
plans on her boat going more than a couple hundred yards in a day, she
should get the right tool for the job. It might also be good on a pond
of a couple of acres (like 2) or less...

This is no big secret, they are publicly traded companies.
The profit margin for insurance companies is in the 3-4% range. That
is far less than the fraud and abuse rate in government programs.
It is also lower that the medical conglomerates and pharmaceutical
companies that just got a huge stimulus.

and 30% of their revenue is for administrative costs

vs less than 10% for govt programs



Medicare has a 20-25% fraud and waste rate so that is a bogus
comparison. The lack of "administration" means they can't really
investigate the claims.

and private health insurance is the same. they just bill health
insurance companies for what the uninsured cant pay

They won't like any of them. Too partisan.

For one who continuously bitches about political posts, you seem to do your
share and support those who do nothing but.

Little hypocritical, wouldn't you say?

Filter you? You, the certified Dumbest Poster in Rec.Boats, dumber even
than Loogy? What's the fun in that? One reads your posts to see what the
stupid people think, just as one reads the posts of Frogwatch to see
what the crazy people think.
