I haven't read it yet, but I probably should... not that it makes a hell of a lot of difference what I think about it.
The Antagonist Wrote:I don't have health care, I don't leech off the system and I am disabled. So I don't give a rat's ass about "what about the poor people who can't afford insurance"? I honestly don't because I'm one of them.
I am 'self employed'. I do not have health insurance and very rarely seek medical attention. As you say, I 'make do'. The only concession I make is that I do have state health care for my son.... which again I very rarely use. He's nearly 3 years old and has only been to the doctor twice in the last year.
Then, there are the people like my ignorant relatives, who live on 'welfare' and are dragging their disgusting kids into ER every time they get a sniffle. Irresponsible assholes. It's not like they are just way more concerned about their kids either... they are horrible parents, neglectful and abusive.
It would be nice if we actually did have a voice in what was going on with our government, as a so-called-Democracy, we should... but we don't really unless we go to great lengths to make ourselves heard. It's very frustrating to even talk about.
