Kobo 4 Health Insurance
Just passed a Medibank office in Melbourne CBD. Free Kobo for signing up for private health insurance. E-reading hits the big time Down Under.

'Special offer!'

For some reason I laughed hard when I first saw the TV ad.

Don't tell our Congress in the U.S. about this. They'll say, "Look, we're taking away your free Medicare and you'll have to buy private health insurance, but you get a free Kobo!"

The republicans need a dose of reality. They are of the "we have and you do not so we refuse to give anything to the have nots" persuasion. I think the best way to handle the republicans is to take away their money, take away their health insurance and see how they like it. Make them just like the average person with not much money and no health insurance and maybe they will come to see life as the man in the street sees it.

Just a dose of real reality - the "average person" has health insurance. There are currently about 51 million uninsured Americans - less than 20% of the population.

Yes, but most of us have crappy health insurance. There's a big gap between good health insurance and bad health insurance, let me tell you.

And the REALLY bad health insurance that doesn't kick in until you've met a ridiculous deductible should really be called "emergency" insurance. It's not health insurance - it's so you won't get TOO bankrupt if you're in a major accident, etc.

No; if you owned a Kobo you'd be that happy, too!
