As one of those 47 million, I'd like to thank all of the fatcats that made this possible and award our government a great, big one-finger salute.

The worst health care system of any developed nation. You folks in DC should be proud.

much agreed (as one in the same situation as you)

About one in five.

Either way the numbers are sliced, it's an ugly blight on our great nation.

Definitely. I intended my comment to illustrate the seriousness of the situation, not minimize it.

...and for some reason, the powers that be up here seem to think your system is superior to ours.

I can't understand how and why you put up with it!

Culpable Deniability

The how is basic survival, the why is because we're of no value to the system. I wish I could remember who the person was that criticized the US for its policy of "wasting" its citizens.

*nods* Yep. It sucks. I'm one of those 47 million.

YEP.

... and I'm one of 'em because "my husband makes too much". WHATEVER!

but aren't you covered under D's policy? I hope so!

NOPE

I am NOT covered. Well, I CAN be for 900.00 plus a month. Yeeeahh.
I have a medical condition due to a glad that does not produce seritonin.
It stems from a birth defect. (defective?)
Anyway, the only way I can get any kind of coverage is to get one of those fancy disability lawyers and get on disability. I ... don't ... think... so.
Life is boring enough.
