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??
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

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".

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, so would I.

DH asked me yesterday where the word "hippie" originated. Anyone know?

From hipster, it looks like. [link]
And Wikipedia says this: [link]
Pulled from Wiki:
exicographer Jesse Sheidlower, the principal American editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, argues that the terms hipster and hippie derive from the word hip, whose origins are unknown.[2] The term hipster was coined by Harry Gibson in 1940.[3] Although the word hippie made isolated appearances during the early 1960s, the first clearly contemporary use of the term appeared in print on September 5, 1965, in the article, "A New Haven for Beatniks", by San Francisco journalist Michael Fallon. In that article, Fallon wrote about the Blue Unicorn coffeehouse, using the term hippie to refer to the new generation of beatniks who had moved from North Beach into the Haight-Ashbury district. New York Times editor and usage writer Theodore M. Bernstein said the paper changed the spelling from hippy to hippie to avoid the ambiguous description of clothing as hippy fashions.
