It was more a commentary on TPB's continual blaming of Obama for the rising cost of everything from his auto insurance to weed.
Weed is cheap in illegal states. We get all of the weed that wasn't good enough to be sold in the dispensairies.
Apparentley there's better weed than the cheap stuff we're getting that makes us googeley eyed stupid.

Recent surgery, Billed amount $44,000.00. Aetna approved: $2,800.00. My share: $800.00. Didn't include extras: Anesthesiologist ($500 Aetna, $250 me), Surgeon ($1,000 Aetna,$500 me), and various extras such as labs, consultants who read xrays, path reports, etc. My favorite out of pocket amount: $1.59 to an MD who read an EKG (EKG's required by hospital prior to surgery). Aetna paid them $6.00.
Without the insurance, I would have paid $44,000 - or at the very least, it would have been my negotiating point.
