Fuck you, you fucking fucks!

That's what I say to everyone I've heard so far speaking about how to deal with healthcare in Massachusetts. Supposedly, the legislature is working on a way to get everyone in the state insured. Too bad so far the main plan I've heard is that they're just going to make it a law that you have to have insurance. Oh, yes, because the reason people are uninsured is because they just don't feel like being insured. Not because they're broke, their jobs don't offer it, they're homeless, etc. No, it's just for shits and giggles.

Then, I just heard some idiot on the radio now who's going to be in an NPR story at noon, saying that the real solution to solving the problem of the cost of insurance and healthcare is to just have everyone pay for their own rather than employers, etc. Because then people would "spend less frivolously" on their healthcare and drive down costs. (Incidentally, he's talking about national healthcare, but that doesn't matter for my point here.)

Newsflash, Asshole! Healthcare is not a bargain service, nor should it be. I don't want my medicine or my new organ to come from Filene's Basement! Get serious! You are not addressing the real problem. The real problem is people who cannot afford health insurance. That's it, it's simple. Making them pay for it isn't going to fix the problem because they can't pay for it. See how that works?

My friend AJPP and I kind of got out of control with the F-word in college and even after. Both of us were known to scream things like, "Fuck you, you fucking fuck!" when, for instance, driving in Cambridge. This calls for just that sentiment.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
