Doggy PPO/HMO, I saw on the news tonight where local companies are offering Healthcare plans for their pets as an added employment bonus. "Annual exams and annual vaccines are provided in FULL at NO charge. Extensive veterinary services are provided at significantly reduced fees. Office visits are only $15.00 which is a significant savings for United Pet Care members." How cool is that?

Dare I say it -- if you can't afford to pay full price for veterinary care, you shouldn't own a pet. These companies would get way more credit from me if they donated the money that they're spending on this to underwrite the cost of health care for the millions of uninsured in this country.

Uninsured people, that is.
