Official figures on bankruptcies calculate at least half of all US filings are due to medical bills.

I've made some mistakes...none of which included luxuries...but it's the medical bills that are pushing me over the edge.

This is the LAST thing I want to do, and that is a fact.

I got coffee.

My onerous task is to badger HR again, and I just don't want to. They haven't replied yet to yesterday's passive-aggressive email.

I forget where I heard this (and what country it was) but someone European was saying that if one person went bankrupt in their country due to medical bills, it would be a huge scandal.

There was a PBS special called Sick Around the World or something to that effect. I forget if it was Sweden or Japan that said that.

I'm thinking Sweden. I seem to recall it was a Scandinavian country.

Look like pies are in( tonight dinner) -so i can get what I need at the local store

and DH did one task

email sent

I forget if it was Sweden or Japan that said that.

Switzerland, where they held a public referendum on the question of switching to a semi-public health services system (the services are provided by non-profits who get paid by the government, IIRC). Ten years later, even those who were furiously opposed to the switch think it's wonderful.

I suspect the special is streaming on the PBS website: it's really really good (and very depressing for Americans).

I did one more thign -- called in my perscription - which while not the onerous task it is for ita, still bugs.

I went down to pick up my pies -- and ended up witha bonus surprise mini pie !!1

I feel rewarded. the next time you hear from me a cake will be in the oven

My provocateuse tumblr just got reblogged by its first fuckyeah tumblr. I feel like it's a birthday or something. Also, apparently everyone has a fuckyeah. Sucks to be you if you don't have one dedicated to you.

I washed ALL the clothes. And put the drawer organizer back in my underwear drawer. over 80 pairs, that's ridic.
