Dan, just be glad there is no socialized medicine. You would be getting your care, but in an Obama Internment Camp.

That’s okay, as long as the camps are segregated. I don’t think I could handle being locked up with the evangelicals for very long without snapping.

I have no health insurance. It went by the wayside when the owner decided he couldn’t afford it any more. I don’t think he’s paid the payroll taxes he’s been deducting for quite some time. Retirement benefits? Yeah, right. I’m lucky if I can afford to pay for my utilities and get new glasses this month. The glasses may have to wait a bit longer.

Health insurance simply isn’t an option for me right now. If I had a spare $500 a month lying around it would go to pay some other bills first. I’ve been to see a physician twice in the last ten years. One of those times was work-related, so I had no out of pocket costs.

I’m not the only one in this kind of situation. I have no fucking health care options. I make too much to get state assistance, yet not enough to actually afford health care on my own. What the fuck am I supposed to do? Oh, yeah, go ahead and die earlier so someone else can collect the money I’ve paid in to social security.

Fuck Corporate America.

Hell, I’m Corporate America. I work for a small start-up. I have my retirement accounts invested in corporations. I figure it must be all my fault.

Corporate America removed Bush from office for the pragmatic reason that civilization would have collapsed had they not.

Oh. And I thought it was because his term in office had ended. As to whether civilization would have collapsed, I don’t think we’re in the clear on that yet.
