A health care story

I do. Most Americans have a crappy diet. Too much McDs and other fast food, as well as processed food snacks.

Here, that would be about 30 USD.

(Torurot @ Sep. 20 2009,16:51) Alan: How many more decades to do what the rest of the "first" world already does.  US Americans are "marching" against their own best interest, and the "debate" is being led by mental retards like Palin with "her" 'kill granny" bullshit. Americans CAN'T be that stupid!!!!!

When you see the number of people who listen to and believe no good lying scum like Rush, Hannity, Beck and O'Reilly, then yes, many of them can be and are.

Like an old shingle mill worker told me many years ago when it comes to the voting public in the USA, "The poor dumb bastards will vote against their own best interests every time."  

Most Americans are too stupid to vote. The proof of that is just ask some typical people what issues they go by when deciding whom to vote for. When they start to speak and the bullshit dribbles down their chin, you just know they have been brainwashed by Faux News.

Americans really are that stupid.
They are, for the most part, a bunch of fat, racist, violent, slack-jawed mouth-breathers that can be consistently relied upon to not only disregard and ignore their own interests, but to actually agitate against those interests. To me this behavior is very reminiscent masochism. It's Like some poor battered wife that needs constant beatings to feel validated. Stupid fuckers.

if you live in Texas or anywhere in America, how'd you pull this off, welfare?

I have never been on welfare have worked since I was 14 years old. I work 55 hours a week now. All my medical bills were paid for by my insurance company.

Right, because by working you get the insurance! If you clarified that there would have been no need to ask if you were on welfare, you only stated that it didn't cost you anything to have all that work done.  But it did cost ''someone'', and is actually part of your wage package and your employer pays the premiums.

      working for yourself means you pay your own bills, either in premiums or directly to the bills from the providers; in good times or also when the economy has been shite.

    I had an appendectomy when I was in the workforce, it ruptured and I spent 15 days in hospital with a nasty infection which almost did me in; that cost me zero as well.   good thing too, the bills were well over 60K.
