Everyone's Greatest Healthcare Fear

We've all worked some place that had "that" employee.  The guy or gal that you just wanted to ask the Office Space question to: "wh-what would you say... you DO here?"

None of us understand how health insurance works and truthfully we don't want to.  But our biggest fear over Obamacare is that it will soon be our only option and when we need it to come through most we'll call the 800 number and we're going to get "that" employee.  They'll have no idea how to helps us and we'll have no idea where to turn.
