Interesting point. If / when online poker is legal do you think off-shore companies like PokerStars will move their operations to the US? Will that be part of the deal to allow US players back to their gaming platforms?

As a side note, I hope this continues to move forward. I would gladly pay taxes on my poker winnings and receive checks from legitimate banks as opposed to the KBG Bank of Canada (or something like that) where I used to get my checks from in the past.

We're a small team of three (25, 28, 28) and the company pays for each person's individual plan with Anthem Blue Cross rather than a group plan which was more expensive for essentially the same coverage. It's about $200 per person per month.
