Really, Stan should have just stayed out of it. “… You’ve gotta be kidding me,” he muttered, and she cocked an eyebrow, lifting her chin. “I’m not, actually –” “A teenager,” he continued over her, shaking his head and wincing at the sting of his headache. “I got taken down by a damn teenager.” This was just embarrassing.

2019
Predict-o-meter: This year: 9/11; Total: 108/134 (83%)
Welcome, welcome one and all to this year’s diatribe concerning all things Oscar.
With one glaring exception (see if you can spot it) this year’s class is solid with some soaring achievements at the top and a lot of really solid work through the middle.
So without further ado, let’s get to it ...
- THE CONTENDERS -
1917. In most war movies the MacGuffin is winning: a skirmish, a battle, a campaign, or, ultimately the war. In “1917” the goal is to call off an attack; to avoid a battle. Most war movies focus on the big picture: strategy, troop movements, etc. “1917” focuses on a single soldier embarking on a single mission for a single day. “1917” is not most war movies. The Germans have executed a strategic retreat and established a new defensive position. A zealous British commander is in hot pursuit, but Command has learned - through the new-fangled technology of aerial photography - that he is charging into a trap. No telegraph lines have yet been laid to the forward position, and radio is not quite a thing yet, so the only way to warn the commander is to send soldiers across no-man’s land, across the previous German line, across the French countryside to deliver the message in person. What follows is a quixotic quest full of constant fear and tension across a landscape made bizarre by the ravages and awful logic of war. It is a saga of commonplace heroism, of a man randomly plucked from obscurity, given an awesome, nigh-impossible task, and rising to the occasion for no other reason than it is his job. The film is expertly paced and while moments of sheer panic are rare, moments of relaxation are nonexistent. Though the time-honored message - war is hell - is definitely there, it is not driven home in the typical, ham-fisted way, and the final scene in which our hero collapses against a tree and gazes out at an idyllic sunlit pasture feels more triumphant than any victory brought about by explosions and bullets.
Jojo Rabbit. I often like to go into these films with no knowledge in order to avoid preconceptions, an approach that was a little jarring in this case, at least at first. In “Jojo Rabbit” director Taika Waititi creates a vivid, slightly out-in-leftfield world that will be familiar to fans of Wes Anderson (particularly “Moonrise Kingdom”). However, Anderson’s Boy Scouts have been replaced (as the vaguely authoritarian and hierarchical children’s organization central to the film) by the Nazi’s Hitler Youth. The opening scenes in which an excited 10yo Johannes "Jojo" Betzler bounces around his room in full Nazi regalia chattering away with his imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (“C’mon, now ... Heil me!”), as he prepares for Nazi training camp are downright off-putting at a visceral level. For a second I thought I’d stumbled into an unironic production of “Springtime for Hitler.” But soon enough you realize that you are seeing the world through Jojo’s young eyes, and that he is a sensitive, insecure boy who is desperate for acceptance. Jojo uncritically accepts the worst Nazi propaganda about the Jews to the point that when he actually meets a Jewish girl he asks where her horns are (“They don’t grow in until you are 21,” she coyly replies). What follows is a complex tale of human drama told from a persistently childish (in the best sense of that word) perspective. The fact that it doesn’t just fly apart into an incoherent mess is a testament to Waititi’s skill as a director (WHY was he not nominated?) and a story that starts out uncomfortably off-putting ends up being thought-provoking and heartwarming. This film defies all expectation and should not be missed.
Little Women. A fresh take on a much-beloved classic, “Little Women” follows a family of 4 sisters through late childhood and early adulthood as they struggle with questions of marriage and career through the lens of an 18th-century culture that has quite definite opinions on these matters. The sisters are well cast and have good chemistry. Two of them - Saoirse Ronan as Jo and Florence Pugh as Amy - were nominated for their trouble. Throw in Laura Dern as Marmee and Meryl Streep as the irrepressible Aunt March and you’ve got a powerhouse cast that drives the film forward and keeps things lively. The storytelling is deft throughout, but for my money the best part is at the end when Jo suddenly and inexplicably agrees to marry a minor character from early in the film that she didn’t even seem to like. It all feels very out of character and more than a little deus ex machina, until the coda showing Jo haggling with her publisher over the publication of her book. When he insists that the main female character must be married (or dead, either is fine) by the end of the book, she reluctantly agrees but asks for more money in return. “If I’m going to sell my heroine into marriage for money, I might as well get some of it,” she declares, adding a nice meta twist that makes Jo’s sudden nuptials not only understandable but downright delectable.
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. Director Quentin Tarantino (nominated) returns to a vein he previously mined in 2009’s “Inglorious Basterds”: The alternate-history black comedy. This time out, however, the group upon which he unleashes ahistorical vengeance is not the Nazis, but the Manson Family. Set in 1969 Hollywood in a reality not too far from our own, “Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood” follows Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio in a nominated role) as an aging TV cowboy who flies to Italy to make Spaghetti Westerns in an attempt to salvage his career. His constant companion, stunt double, and manservant is Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt, also nominated), a man of immense talent, but no ambition, who is content to carry Rick’s water as long as it doesn’t interfere with his generally zen lifestyle. What follows is a fascinating character study of the two men as they navigate the politics of Hollywood. Rick, in particular, pursues relevance with the panicked desperation that only middle-aged white men can achieve. But the show is consistently stolen by Pitt’s portrayal of Cliff as some combination of ronin samurai and burnt-out hippy. In every situation Cliff knows exactly what to do and how to do it at the same time that his motivation seems to be little more than, “Well, why not?” It’s breathtaking to watch. The Manson Family, for their part, play a minor, oblique role through most of the film, only to fall victim to Tarantino’s signature cartoonish uber-violence in the film’s climax. Never before has someone being set on fire been this laugh-out-loud funny. “Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood” is like a rollercoaster: don’t over-analyze it, just enjoy the ride. And it is a very enjoyable ride.
Parasite. This is another film I walked into with no foreknowledge and ended up being very pleasantly surprised. “Parasite” is a film from Korea that at its core is about income inequality, but the lens that it uses to examine this phenomenon is unique. “Parasite” follows the Kims, a downtrodden, working-class family of four barely scraping by in the slums of Seoul. Son Ki-Woo is very smart, but can’t afford to attend college like his friend Min-Hyuk, so when Min-Hyuk has a chance to study abroad he asks Ki-Woo to pose as a college student and take over his position tutoring the daughter of the rich Park family. Ki-Woo does so, and through a series of increasingly hilarious hijinks the entire Kim family becomes employed by the Parks in different capacities. The contrast between the capable, sensible, but poor Kims and the clueless but rich Parks is played to maximal comic effect, and you think this is an enjoyable romp and you pretty much know where it’s going. When all of a sudden, in the middle of the second act, the entire film takes a jarring left turn and sends you careening into bizarre, unexplored territory. I won’t spoil it for you, but director Bong Joon Ho richly deserves his nomination for crafting such a compelling story that completely defies expectations.
- THE PRETENDERS -
Ford v Ferrari. This is the true story of how legendary driver and car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) teamed up with the Ford Motor Company to take on Enzo Ferrari and win Le Mans. Central to the effort is the cantankerous Ken Miles (played with verve and gusto by Christian Bale), a British driver and engineer who is obsessed with racing to the exclusion of almost everything else, especially social niceties. When an ambitious, young Lee Iacocca proposes that Ford buy the ailing Ferrari, only to be humiliated by Enzo himself, Henry Ford II (aka “The Deuce”) declares war on Ferrari’s beloved racing team and their dominance at Le Mans. Shelby is recruited as one of a very few Americans to have ever won that race, and he insists on bringing along Miles as one of the few people who share his burning, all-consuming passion for racing. But Ken’s brash, irreverent style conflicts with Ford’s corporate image, and there ensues a protracted battle between Shelby and “the suits.” This is all handled deftly. The interpersonal struggles are well-motivated and feel real, the racing scenes are exciting, and the ultimate, somewhat mixed climax feels very satisfying. Definitely a very good movie, just not a great one.
The Irishman. Pacino. De Niro. Pesci. Keitel. Scorsese. Must be a gangster movie. This time around Scorsese takes on True Crime by studying the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of one-time Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa (played by Al Pacino in a nominated role that is more than a little ironic given Hoffa’s frequent anti-Italian tirades). The titular Irishman is Frank Sheeran (De Niro); a Teamsters driver, turned scam artist, turned Mob enforcer, turned Hoffa confidant and Union Local President. All of the clichéd gangster tropes are here: the steak dinners, the smoke-filled rooms, the bizarre, posturing pseudo-conversations where nothing is actually said, but everybody “gets the message,” the sudden, brutal violence. All of it. And it is all executed expertly, being second nature to this team by this point. But for my money the film really revolves around Sheeran’s daughter, Peggy (played by Lucy Gallina as a child and Anna Paquin as an adult). Even as a child Peggy sees through the bluff and bluster of Mafia “honor” to its brutal core of senseless violence, and she holds her father in distain for it. This particularly rankles Sheeran’s Don and protector Russell Bufalino (Joe Pesci, also nominated), whose lifelong efforts to curry favor with Peggy come to naught. And when Peggy takes a shine to Jimmy Hoffa, seeing him as an honorable man helping people live better lives, Russell’s knickers are well and truly twisted. After Hoffa’s disappearance (the film makes no mystery of it, but I won’t spoil it) Peggy and Frank become fully estranged. Towards the end of his life Frank feels compelled to make a furtive attempt at reconciliation, but offers no remorse nor even any understanding of why Peggy stopped talking to him in the first place. The film ends with Sheeran alone and forgotten in a nursing home, being interviewed by some FBI agents still desperately trying to close the Hoffa case. They point out to him that all of his compatriots are dead, running through a roll call of the characters we have been watching for the past two hours. “Who are you protecting?” they ask. Sheeran has no answer, but offers no assistance, for in the end his loyalty was all he ever had.
Joker. Not since 2012’s “Les Misérables” has a movie been as monotonously bleak as “Joker.” Purportedly the origin story of Batman’s nemesis, “Joker” is a Chinese water torture of debasement and degradation. There’s no real theme or plot; just drip drip drip of indignities piled one upon the other. For hours. The titular Joker doesn’t even emerge from the tortured psyche of Arthur Fleck (played by Joaquin Phoenix in a nominated role) until the film’s waning moments, and even then he is literally just a crazy clown with a gun; hardly a suitable foil for the Batman. Phoenix gamely portrays an abused, antisocial misfit, but the skill with which he applies his craft is not put to any greater purpose. There’s no redemption here, or even a moral, just misery piled upon a man who has always been miserable and always will be. Each year there are at least one or two nominations that I cannot understand. With “Joker,” not only do I fail to understand the nomination, I can’t even understand why it was MADE.
Marriage Story. Meet the Barbers, Charlie and Nicole. They are beautiful (looking exactly like Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson - both nominated) and accomplished: he a playwright and director in New York’s theater community, she a star of stage and screen and Charlie’s favorite leading lady. When Nicole is offered a TV pilot shooting in Hollywood she decides to take son Henry with her, but removed from Charlie’s directorial dictates and suffocating ambition she decides to never go back. What follows is a bi-coastal divorce proceeding and custody battle that pits two people against each other who actually like and admire ~90% of the other, but just can’t reconcile the other 10%. The Barbers have different goals and agendas, but no real animus towards each other. However, the only system available to them for moving forward is one designed along ruthless, winner-take-all grounds. This leads to much conflict and soul-searching. Eventually, through introspection and growth, they manage to achieve something approaching a conscious uncoupling without scarring Henry too much in the process.
So which SHOULD win?
There were a lot of very good, enjoyable films in the class, but only 3 that really made you think about film as an art form and its capabilities: “1917,” “Jojo Rabbit,” and “Parasite.” Of these three Jojo Rabbit was both the most thought-provoking and the most straight-up enjoyable. My pick for the best movie of 2019 is: Jojo Rabbit.
But which WILL win?
“1917” appears to be the favorite, with “Parasite” a potential dark horse. I’m going with “1917,” and I can’t quibble too much; it’s a really good film.
And in the other categories ...
Best Actress: Renee Zellweger looks like a lock for her role in “Judy.”
Best Supporting Actress: Laura Dern should win here, not for being the mother of the Little Women, but for being the glamorous, “take no prisoners” Hollywood divorce lawyer in “Marriage Story.”
Best Actor: Joaquin Phoenix should follow in Heath Ledger’s footsteps by winning an Oscar portraying the Joker. While I am loathe to see this depressing trainwreck of a film garner any accolades, I must grudgingly admit that Phoenix gives a powerful performance. Still not worth seeing the film, however.
Best Supporting Actor: Brad Pitt should run away with this category. His performance definitely IS worth seeing “Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.”
Best Director: Again this is a race between Sam Mendes for “1917” and Bong Joon Ho for “Parasite.” And again “1917” is the clear favorite and “Parasite” is the dark horse. The Academy has taken to splitting Best Picture and Best Director of late, but I’m going to play it safe and choose Mendes.
Best International Feature Film: “Parasite” should earn its richly-deserved Oscar here. As well as ...
Best Original Screenplay: Look for “Parasite” here. It is definitely very original.
Best Adapted Screenplay: Jojo Rabbit. I would have loved to see Waititi nominated - and even win - for directing, but he will have to settle for winning for his writing. Something tells me he’ll be fine.
Best Cinematography: 1917
Best Makeup and Hairstyling: Bombshell
That’s it for this year. Until next year, save me an aisle seat

“I Like Beer”: The Hard Drinker’s Excuses
“I drank beer with my friends. Almost everyone did. Sometimes I had too many beers. Sometimes others did. I liked beer. I still like beer.” – Brett Kavanaugh
The testimonies on Thursday of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh have captivated the country for a variety of reasons. At its highest point is, of course, the politics of the appointment of Kavanaugh and how the balance of the Supreme Court will shift. And, hand in hand with this appointment, is now the topic of sexual assault. Regardless of the topic of choice of the many involved with Kavanaugh, Dr. Ford, and Kavanaugh’s additional accusers, the matter has exposed the country’s weaknesses and hypocrisies.
Doreen St. Félix in The New Yorker wrote an excellent piece on the behavior involved in the testimonies. Kavanaugh’s emotional rollercoaster of a testimony filled with defensive retorts towards senators was problematic for a variety of reasons for someone being interviewed to the highest court in the judicial branch. But, as so many in our country personalize this ordeal, one part stuck out for me, and that was when Kavanaugh acknowledged, “I like beer,” as part of his continuous rambling on about his enjoyment of beer conveying that there was nothing wrong with enjoying drinking in the past nor for him to enjoy drinking today.
My social media circle is filled with comedians and of the many things Kavanaugh said on what otherwise should be considered serious testimony, this seemed the easiest comment to make fun of. But “I like beer” is just another additional problem to how our country views Kavanaugh. Sexual assault is a problem and one that continues to be misconstrued and disregarded. Our growing political divide is a problem. But, our country’s problematic perspective on alcohol is another issue as well.
The society that Brett Kavanaugh experienced, as stories that have come out have documented, in the early 1980s is not far off from our society today. There are still fraternities. There is still binge drinking on college campuses and among young professionals. There are still men with horrid opinions on sex and women. The patriarchy and its interconnection with alcohol and masculinity still persist. It’s why the many stories associated with Kavanaugh and these issues are somehow not a factor because there are still so many people in our country ingrained with this patriarchy where men can be as drunk and dumb as they would like and women are left to be denigrated and taken.
But the reality is that alcohol consumption must come with accountability and it is clear that Brett Kavanaugh has none. But, then again, there are not many people in our society who do hold themselves accountable with their alcohol intake. College and alcohol consumption work together. Many of us were binge drinking at that age. We laughed off drinking at that age, didn’t mind eating junk food to nurse a hangover, and perhaps didn’t even mind the occasional or regular blackout. At some point, this changes. A person grows into adulthood and has a responsible approach with alcohol. For others, it doesn’t. Whereas some become “responsible,” others hit “rock bottom.” The best thing about “rock bottom” is that there are only two paths from that point: an inevitable death or accountability for one’s behaviors and actions.
Judge Kavanaugh hasn’t hit “rock bottom.” In fact, he’s gone in the exact opposite direction and is on the verge of one of the most important positions in the country. And, that plays a role in why he and others can’t possibly fathom that he could have behaved recklessly when drunk.
This is the problem of the high-functioning alcoholic. I gave up drinking alcohol almost 3 ½ years ago. I had a good job, I was a comedian, I had a loving family, I was in a loving relationship. I also had a drinking problem. I “liked beer.” I was able to manage all of these things until it came to a point that I was mentally going to break and something needed to be sacrificed. I was so deep into loving and enjoying alcohol that, when I ordered the most important things in my life, I was willing to sacrifice my relationship for alcohol. That’s how ingrained it was in my identity. I couldn’t imagine not having a beer and being with friends or watching a game or just dealing with life. And I substantiated how much I could drink because the alcohol had not affected anything in my life. I was still able to drink and be successful at work and at comedy and in my personal life. But, drinking was affecting my mental and physical health and my decision making and I reached a “rock bottom” in the sense that I could see things were getting worse. I was able to stop and then able to start holding myself accountable more and more for who I was when I did drink and how much that person wasn’t actually who I was. My behavior when I drank never remotely reached the realms of what appear to be Kavanaugh’s problems. I thankfully didn’t hurt anyone or treat anyone poorly other than myself. But not hurting anyone also validated my drinking. I just seemed to be a good, successful, fun drunk.
Is Brett Kavanaugh a high-functioning alcoholic? It’s not for me to make that assessment. It’s on each individual to be able to identify the extent of one’s alcohol intake and then hold themselves accountable for their actions because of it and, as I said, Kavanaugh is not showing that at all. Kavanaugh’s close friend, Mark Judge, at least has, though. He accepted that he was an alcoholic, became sober, and wrote a memoir that now inadvertently puts the spotlight on Kavanaugh as another character involved in his drinking days. It’s not right to say that Kavanaugh is an alcoholic just because he was close friends with a recovering alcoholic. But there’s also a lot of questions that need to be answered regarding Kavanaugh’s use of alcohol, specifically on a night in 1982, and he continues to dodge those specific questions and even dodge general questions on alcohol. Judge vehemently denies the incident occurred, but it’s clear Judge isn’t exactly the most worthy witness given he was likely intoxicated at the time.
Kavanaugh’s comment that “I like beer” is telling to me. As someone who was a high-functioning alcoholic, one of the best ways to continue your success in all facets of your life is being able to cover up your drinking well. Someone successful who says “I like beer” or considers beer a “hobby” has definitely been drunk at least once. But, saying “I like beer” is a very convenient way to cover up the extent of one’s alcohol consumption. It was a line I regularly used with my parents who never drink. There’s nothing wrong with liking something. There is something wrong with abusing something. And there is something definitely wrong when liking and abusing something has an effect on others.
In our society, we are accountable for our behavior with alcohol in certain ways. We could get a DUI. We could kill a person and saying that we were drunk isn’t a defense. Showing up to our job intoxicated would be grounds for dismissal. As a result, how is it that Judge Kavanaugh isn’t accountable for whatever behavior may have been done on that night in 1982? And why are we more inclined to believe the person heavily consuming alcohol who was liable to black out than the sober individual? That shouldn’t fly in any court room let alone the determination of who ends up in the Supreme Court. We also are comfortable in professional circles accepting and excusing the presence of alcohol. No profession seemingly finds that more common than the law where one in three practicing lawyers are problem drinkers.
As I mentioned, some of people’s perspectives on this ordeal are swayed by politics or perhaps swayed by the #MeToo movement or perhaps swayed by the fact that they are just completely ignorant and stupid. But some of it is also swayed by the fact that they are much like Judge Kavanaugh. They are a guy or a gal and they “like beer.” What’s wrong with that? And, sure, maybe I act a certain way when I’m drinking but that’s “just me.” There are plenty of code words that have come up for decades that excuse the behavior of hard drinking men, especially successful hard drinking men. I should know because I was one and I like to hope that I have treated women well and I’m not even close to the same social class as Kavanaugh and his friends. Most men and even many women within the patriarchy have succumbed to these words and expectations.
The biggest problem to me with our current state that played out in Thursday’s Ford-Kavanaugh hearings is our inability to show compassion and hold accountability. Kavanaugh, many Republican senators, and a strong part of the country don’t seem to even want to show compassion for what Dr. Ford went through and would rather tear apart her reputation or say confidently it was not Brett Kavanaugh. On the flip side, Kavanaugh does not even want to hold accountable the possibility that he ever even got intoxicated and how his behavior may have been when he was drunk. He simply “likes beer” like so many Americans who also don’t take accountability of who they are when they are drunk.
The Ford-Kavanaugh hearings show our American downfall towards responsibility. We don’t show enough responsibility towards equality. We don’t show enough responsibility towards sex. We don’t show enough responsibility towards alcohol. We don’t show enough responsibility towards our own behavior. It’s easier to dodge and be defensive towards our own behavior with those topics than it is to take accountability of it. Brett Kavanaugh has certainly shown that lack of responsibility and yet he’s set to be responsible for determining the law of the land on American morality with these kinds of issues. And, certainly, there’s a segment of the country that will happily chug a beer when the prep school, Ivy League-educated, hyper male fraternity brother “just like them” ends up holding one of the most important seats in the land.

Ontario Insurance rates for a Toyota supra 1995-97 for a 16 year old male?
Hello, I am 16 years old and I am thinking about getting a Toyota supra (probably the twin turbo, but at least the v 6 ge engine) for my first car between 1995 and 97. I was wondering what kind of insurance rates I should expect? I have heard about collectors insurance being really cheap, but I dont believe that covers the liability insurance. Remember, the car is right-hand drive, a sports car, I am 16 and a male, I expect the insurance rates to be incredibly high, I just want to know an approximate number. I would appreciate some recommendations as to which broker to use or alternate suggestions! I also understand that I am too young to get collectors insurance on the car, however, I believe that, because it is a different type of insurance, my dad can put himself as the primary driver of the car to save money (he already has a car, but I believe that the insurance company would be fine with him having a summer car XD""

Is it bad not to have health insurance?
Is it bad not to have health insurance?
I was charged for insurance by my auto financing company about 5 years ago when I first started my loan...?
and after about a day I realized that my coverage had lapsed, I obtained my own insurance. I live in California and it is my understanding that you cannot have double coverage and I would be due back any money from a secondary policy that would be pro rated. I am on my last car payment and while looking over my payoff quote I was being charged almost $9/mo. + Interest for the balance of my loan (approx. 60 months). When I call them will I have to show proof of my insurance coverage, I have changed insurance carriers a couple times since then so I'm not sure if I still have the paperwork. Otherwise, would the DMV have a printout I could obtain? Thanks in advance for your help""

I need Insurance help?
Hey, I just got a full-time job that pays very well. I make roughly $1500 a month, and I was looking to get a new vehicle as a means of celebrating my new step into adulthood. The vehicle I was looking at was a 2005 Pontiac GTO. I'm 19 years old, so I would have to get my parents to help me with cosigning. That wouldn't be a problem, since my parents have good credit. Now, my parents said that they'd cosign if I pay for both the car payment and insurance monthly. I also pay $200 a month for medical insurance, phone bills, etc. The car payment monthly would be about $400 a month, so that would be about one check. My question is, does anyone know roughly how much insurance would be for me? I currently pay $122 a month on a 2002 Taurus, with just one speeding ticket on my record. Any ideas? Thanks""

Anyone want to give me a rough estimate on this car insurance quote?
My friend drives a '98 Mercury right now. She's been into four accidents (three of them were caused by her), is one point away from getting her license taken away, and got a DUI last summer. Consequently, when she got her car back, she tried to get it insured only to find out her insurance premium for NO FAULT is almost a thousand a month. That's for a standard insurance company. She went to a small rinky-dink company for a lower quote and got a lower quote but I'm not quite sure what that quote was. Since she can't afford to pay that much in insurance, she (stupidly) has decided to get fake insurance proofs that she thinks will get passed secretary of state so she can renew her tags. I told her she needs to have real insurance or she could get into lots of trouble (not to mention end up owing tens of thousands of dollars if she crashes). She didn't listen to my advice and went with the fake insurance proofs which did NOT get passed secretary of state; her new plan is to pay for one months insurance and then stop paying for the next few years until her insurance goes down. She told me the other day that she wants to buy a BMW by the time she's 22. That means in one and a half years. Not only will her insurance still be high, but it will probably be even higher since she will have gone two years without it. So, considering the facts I've given you and that she has to pay almost a grand a month for no fault on an older Mercury, how much more do you think she will be paying for FULL coverage on a BMW?""

What would health care cost if NOBODY had insurance?
I was reading about how doctors are now rating insurance companies, and one figure that stuck in my head was $210 BILLION wasted anually on excessive administrative costs. Not administration, UNNECESSARY administration. They want to cut out red tape, well, why not cut out insurance altogether? What would health care cost if NOBODY had insurance, and had to pay for everything out of pocket? I suspect that patients would start paying a lot more attention to their bills, doctors would have to start competing, and costs would plummet. Shoot, there'd be at least $210 billion a year more available! There's mention of one doctor who accepts a flat yearly rate, and doesn't accept insurance. Would this really be such a terrible way to do things? Letting doctors and patients decide what's fair, instead of insurance companies and the government? We could let people buy catastrophic insurance, but not general health funds like we have now. Could it work?""

Is this what we will expect with government run health insurance...?
I went to our government run motor company, GM, and told them I'm here to pick up my new truck. They said yes sir, and that will be $25,000. I said wait a second, I just paid billions of dollars to own my own car company, and it will still cost me $25,000 for a new truck? They said yes. So I went to Ford, and looked at a comparable truck, and it was $19,000. I asked, do I own this car company, they said nope, we are still owned by Ford. So, that has me wondering... I currently pay $665 a month for insurance for my family, and it's pretty good. What much is that going up once the government has to get paid too? Will it be $6,000 more a year? And why is it that I can't just pick up my Government Motors truck, I do own it right? Or, did Obama lie about the people owning the company? And since he lied about that, is it possible that he's lying about the cost and the public option? And finally... didn't he promise transparency in the negotiations, and it would all be on CSPAN?

Help PLEASE!! Auto Insurance Question?
I have a question concerning auto insurance. I recently totaled my vehicle at no fault of my own. Long story short the insurance company is offering me a few thousand more than Kelly Blue Book states the vehicle is actually worth. But what theyre offering is substantially lower than that which is outlined on the Declarations for Policy paper under value. Thing is, Ive verbally accepted the amount over the phone. Now theyre sending papers to sign over the vehicle. When I phoned the agency, I was informed by the assigned adjuster that he cannot offer more. I dont really believe him, afterall insurance companies are known for trying to take advantage of people. Heres the dilema, if theyre offering more than KKB and under the value on the policy. I assume theyre just trying to avoid paying what the real value is. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. I have little knowledge in this, I just turned 22 years old and this was my first car.""

""If you have full insurance, and the car is totaled, will the insurance cover the car?""
I have full insurance, and got in a pretty bad accident. The car is totaled... wrecked. I had full insurance... but since it is almost completely destroyed, how will the insurance handle it? I got rear ended, and the car spun out of control, going 50 miles an hour. It knocked me out... By the way, I'm lucky I'm alive! And will never drive again in my life! I am 19...""

Can i use a PO BOX for car insurance mailing address?
When i quoted my car insurance, i used my apartment address. After i bought the insurance, i asked them to change to PO BOX as my mailing address. Later on, when i moved to another apartment, i didn't update my current physical address with my insurance company because i am using my PO BOX as my mailing address so far. My question is if somehow i get a car accident, will the insurance company deny my claim because of not telling them the current physical address? Additional information the past and current of my apartment address are still in the same state, Texas.""
