I hate to keep harping on my own situation, because I can't even imagine the burden of having children to consider. But I wish mine was considered a disability instead of a pre-existing condition. Even if I could afford my own health insurance, there's a 6-9 month waiting period before any of that could be covered anyway.

You know what pisses me off? I recently got a bill for the attending physician when I was in the hospital. Nearly $4,000. Did I ever meet Dr. Mantha Bala? No. He/she probably just scratched a signature on my chart and went on his/her merry way. Then why am I paying this asshole several thousand dollars? What did he/she do for me?

Plus I had to get on the phone and rip someone a new one for trying to charge me for my first spinal tap. Which they fucked up and were unable to perform.

You know, Jordyn. I just find it impossible to believe that people here are arguing against some sort of health care for the uninsured. I can't understand how someone in good conscience could be so "me"- oriented. They're so afraid of losing a few more dollars to a government program, that they're inventing every possible excuse as to why we shouldn't have it. The commies, the socialists, the niggers, the welfare-addicts, the lazy unemployed, the price of fucking rice in Malaysia. And frankly, it disgusts me. I know that they'll all find some nitpicky reason to argue with me and disagree. But I don't give a shit. Your situation.. my situation, and the situation of millions of others should not be discounted because some people choose to abuse the system. That's not fair.
