Serial:
I've created a family tree with 131 people in it in 5 hours. I am nuts, N-V-T-S, nuts.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The personal finance books I've been looking at lead me to believe that I don't totally suck at my finances, which is always a surprise because I assume there's some secret grown up trick that I don't know about.
This, exactly.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Thank you for the detailed answer, Sophia. It's kindda amazing, in my eyes, to see what the situation is like. We have here a totally different health program here.

There Medicaid- for older people and disabled, and Medicare, which is for low income qualified people, but that is considered more "aid" than insurance
Scratch that, reverse it. (Medicare = senior citizens & disability; Medicaid = poor people.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It is a truly wackadoo "system" that is all about money and luck, and being sick can disqualify you from coverage. Because sick people don't need medical care, right??

Also, my mother was saying that my grandmother can probably get hospice care under Medicare and still see her current doctors, etc, (did you know hospice isn't necessarily just for the very end of life??) and I was like, "OH! Death panels!!" My mother was like, WTF. I'm pretty sure that kind of thing was what they meant by death panels, right?

Actually, I think they were thinking of this when they were thinking of Death Panels. Guess they forgot that the Texas Advanced Directives Act of 1999 was signed into law by George W. Bush.

I'd like to think that getting health services is a basic right for everyone. I can understand that the U.S. relates it to your ability to work as a kind of a strange incentive, but I always thought that the formula was "you need to be healthy in order to get a job", and not "you need to get a job in order be healthy".
