Oh Goody! Health Care!
Bullshit!
Because of my age, and some on-going (and growing) health concerns, I went online to check into some options for making basic healthcare accessible — you know, like visiting a doctor when I get seriously ill, or in case there’s an accident and I need to go to the E.R.
One company offered me a package for a monthly premium GREATER THAN my rent, electric, gas, water, phone, cable/internet bills combined. WTF??? If I had $878 a month just sitting around, do you seriously think I’d be living HERE!??!!
So, when I get really really sick, I’ll be carted off to an E.R. and I’ll tell ‘em straight up. “DNR all the way, dudes, just DNR.”
Oh yeah, and I was just listening to MSNBC and caught them revealing the salaries of big-name CEOs at health insurance companies. I didn’t know until just today that ONLY the insurance industry (and major league baseball) is NOT subject to the Sherman Antitrust Act. Holy FUCK! NOBODY actually earns an income over a few hundred thousand, and even THAT is outrageous.
And just a moment ago, some guy was talking about American auto companies and the disparity between salaries of American auto workers and the workers at foreign auto plants in America, and they were complaining that American car companies were not making money on each car, while foreign auto makers were (until recent quarters) making money on every car sold. Well, wait just a fucking minute. Don’t cut salaries of the guys working the lines. CUT THE DAMN CEO INCOMES. They aren’t earning all of that money.
Every day the news gets bleaker and bleaker, and the guys on top are getting fatter and fatter. Gosh, let’s cut the workers’ salaries to make more money flowing elsewhere. Fuck that shit. Cut the salaries at the top. Sheesh! A guy who made five million LAST year doesn’t need any more THIS year — let HIM figure out how to budget and balance and juggle a while. Stupid ignorant selfish motherfuckers, all of them.
Or make those guys at the top cover health care for people like me who aren’t already bleeding the system, just trying to make ends meet, week by week.
I get really upset by how A CERTAIN FUCKTARDIAN BREED of Conservatives have BLATANTLY, COMPLETELY, AND DELIBERATELY destroyed the rest of the country. Fuck ‘em.
And in other news…
Ohmahgawd, I just had the MOST DELICIOUSEST AMAZING White Trash Supper – Porcupine Gravy over steamed potatos with a side of green beans. Holy CRAP this shit is AWESOME! Three Cheers for White Trash Cooking! YES!!!!!!!




Are you a member of AARP? They offer insurance plans which are reportedly more reasonable.
