Calculating Your Net Worth

Democrats heavily favor unlimited litigation rewards for malpractice. Vote democratic if you want more of your health care premium to go towards paying ridiculous settlements that benefit ambulance chasing lawyers.
If you like the way the DMV operates, then you would like it if the government ran healthcare.

CPA's require public companies to book estimated liabilities for costs to be paid in the future due to events happening now. If you're getting older (and we all ARE), it's appropriate in the concept of "net worth" to be estimating now the liability you will owe for health care of yourself prior to passing away. For most people, that is hundreds of thousands of dollars, perhaps mitigated somewhat by insurance (if they have and can KEEP their coverage---a big, big IF).
With this inclusion, most people now have a negative net worth. They just don't know it yet, and if they did, they'd be voting Democratic.
