And still, because my deductible is so high, I avoid going to the doctor for anything other than my yearly physical that's covered.<br /><br />We have a health care "system" alright, it's just a system for doing something else...Fannie Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04296502470605119779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-54493275563790769742009-12-21T22:05:18.065-05:002009-12-21T22:05:18.065-05:00Huh.

Paradise doesn’t...Lulz, no, it ain’t paradise here. Paradise doesn’t come with two feet of @#$&ing snow, for one thing.<br /><br />I’m not talking about free healthcare (hah, as if), but the sort of little clinic you can walk in, whether you have a scheduled appointment or not, and see a doctor and get some prescription medication and whatever. You know, like in <em>House</em> (yeah, it’s a TV show, but the hospital has a free walk-in clinic and I’m pretty sure they didn’t make that up).<br /><br />Besides, healthcare in Canada is fine … well, compared to America’s, anyway. The waits can be ridiculously long, even for important stuff – in Québec, anyway – but at least people aren’t dying just because they can’t afford to see a doctor, and they aren’t losing their homes because they had to pay for surgery. Honestly, you would have to be here to understand just how absolutely <em>ridiculous</em> the situation of healthcare in America is to Canadians. And to any other part of the Eastern developed world.<br /><br />(Footnote: WE DO NOT SAY “EH” OR “ABOOT”!!! Whoever made that up should be chopped to tiny little pieces with a hatchet, then fed to pigs as slop.

Why are some people lucky enough to say "eh" and "aboot" while I am not?!<br /><br />(It's been a long day.)<br /><br />Oh, yeah, buhbye Anonimuss!PersonalFailurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034292023591747601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-62708736784519328772009-12-21T15:51:53.733-05:002009-12-21T15:51:53.733-05:00Hey Anonimuss, you and your Christianity can go fu...Hey Anonimuss, you and your Christianity can go fuck yourselves. You are going straight to hell for your unkindness.<br /><br />I hope your hubby gets better. I think the expansion of community health centers and the Medicaid expansion still make this a pretty good start. If you make under $30,000 you can qualify for Medicaid. We used to not qualify, but thanks to this Recession, now we will. Which will probably be better than having insurance you can't afford to use.Julie Kwiatkowski Schulerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00292349838507731268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-59644132776702085142009-12-21T15:24:01.045-05:002009-12-21T15:24:01.045-05:00@Anoniwuss:

Now go home and stick your head up your ass. Further, that is.<br /><br />All I can say is you and your hubby have my best wishes. But, you may as well forget about the “change” of the current healthcare reform bill. As it is, it’s been stripped of its abortion coverage, its public option, and even its Medicare expansion (if that’s what it was). Talk about change.<br /><br />God, how I’m starting to seriously hate those Senate Republicans. They’re worse than even the vilest of fundies in my book; at least fundies don’t have direct control over everyone’s lives. The fucking asshats in the Senate do, and they’re doing all they can to fuck everything up for everyone else.<br /><br />Fucking corporate whores. *seethes* Universal healthcare is just a pleasant myth at this point for America.<br /><br />(Just curious: aren’t there any free walk-in clinics in your area?)Joé McKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037015111554209304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-58434819393675565832009-12-21T15:18:08.214-05:002009-12-21T15:18:08.214-05:00anonimuss,
