Quite, except the duration of unemployment is a little misleading (it's always longest early in employment recoveries), and the Medicare question isn't quite fair (you're always going to max out at the deductible, and if you add the premium it's of course going to be greater than the deductible - a Bushie could choose an equally stacked set of numbers to minimize it).
