Just another WTF…
I don’t want to rant, but this is one of those places where we, the small, insignificant crumbs of the earth need to take a stand. Health insurance needs to be socialised… we need a national program with a fucking conscience, for justice, for Christ’s sake… I have gone uninsured for about eleven years… yeah, count ‘em eleven… which, I am told, will only significantly decrease my chances of ever getting a decent plan, rate, or premium on ANY type of health insurance program from a major provider. It doesn’t matter that I go uncovered simply because I find the premiums too high, or that my general opinion of the business is it’s just another of fuckyouhardintheass capitalism’s ways of keeping people down… or in my case just out.
Yes, I am at an age where I really could use some looking after from the medical establishment. Will I get the care before its too late? Can I afford to just walk into some place and pay out of pocket for stuff like hernia surgery, colonoscopies, prostate exams, etc, etc, etc?
Yeah, its a great world we live in… but, on the bright side, I am looking into some alternatives, such as group plans, and anything else that may take a different approach to tackling the problem. Most of the programs I have seen so far are loaded with caveats, and limitations so severe, it renders them all but useless.
Stay tuned…
