Bonercare
Yippee! John Boehner (Boner) plans on repealing health care reform.
So I can really live up to my motto of "Sit home, watch TV and die, Thanks GOP!"
Uncaring, self serving assholes.

Been neglecting my blog lately :(
Okay, here's the scoop, now my teeth, as a direct result of all my horrible medical conditions are going bad really, really fast. I am in so much pain right now.
I am going to the ER tomorrow, bills be damned, I can't take it anymore, and no dentist will work on me pro bono - I asked 3 already. All I have is a $1,000 credit line on a Care Credit card and that is nowhere near what I need for my dental issues. It sucks.
Since I last posted many things have happened, the Town Halls raged on, I posted a diary on DailyKos that made the diary rescue, yippee!!! Celebutante for a day.
The campaign finance comittee has skewered and shredded any hoipe for real health care reform, Max Baucus has taken yet more money from the insurance and big pharma co's and Alan Grayson of Florida is my new hero, calling out the craptastic health plan of the Repug party, which is: Don't Get Sick, and-
if you get sick, Die Quickly! That sounds about right. Those bastards.
Today, John Boehner said he has yet to talk to any American in favor of a public option or with any serious health industry issues. What a dick! After that uninformed dickwad comment he of course got thousands of twitters, emails and phone calls from all the USA and his own constituents in his district who had repeatedly contacted his office with their health care horror stories, only to receive the usual form reply emails and a staffer on the phone saying, "gee thanks for calling, con't forget to contribute to the campaign." Again, Dickwads.

Watching Health Care Comittee discussion on CSPAN
I just had to talk about the crap that I'm hearing right now as I sit at my computer working my butt off to make a meeger income.
Firstly, there is some insurance executive explaining in detail how he raised his kids in the 60's and 70's, ZZZZZZZ, snooze fest, times have changed dude, get over it.
He is essentially elaborating the "blame the victim" mantra that's being bandied about in the media with regards to health care and the lack thereof for many Americans. I am so sick of hearing how the health care crisis is directly related to poor lifestyle choices. Yes, some folks live a bad lifestyle, smoking, drinking, cavorting, bad diet, no exercise, yeah we get it, NEXT!
What about those of us who got sick with a serious illness and yet lived a good lifestyle ? What about those of us who were genetically predisposed to getting cancer that had no direct correlation to how we were living at the time?
I do hate being lumped in with all the "baddies" and "naughty" folks who apparently are to blame for all that is wrong with the health care system.
I place the blame for the health care crisis directly on politicians and the health care industry. If they cherry pick only the healthy and deny care for their customers who get sick, aren't they the ones to blame?
How about the exorbitant costs of health care? Why is a CT scan $2400 in Los Angeles and $1500 somewhere else? Why are the uninsured charged MUCH, MUCH more than those with insurance? Why are the uninsured unable to negotiate better prices? Why aren't prices posted and known by staff when a customers who is self pay asks? Why does no one seem to know what things cost? Why do I feel like I get screwed more with costs than someone with Blue Cross? Why do my elected officials get such great insurance coverage and don't get denied for their preexisting conditions?
These issues are not being discussed on TV right now by this gentleman who is clearly living in the past. Instead, he is "blaming the victim." Gee, thanks I love hearing on a daily basis that everything is my fault, that the insurance industry and the politicians are completely blameless.
