34. Good point.... Hell, I might retire early if I can afford health insurance

If I could afford to I'd retire tomorrow so that I can enjoy a few years of sitting on a boat fishing while my health is still relatively good. Unfortunately I still have kids to help get through college and a not so impressive 401K, along with the obvious need for health insurance. The Affordable Care Act will certainly help (so long as we don't let GOPers dismantle the progress which has been made), but of course I'd love to see some form of Single Payer.
