What a day. I got my first-ever letter from a collection agency, regarding my unpaid hospital bill. Turns out that the county's temporary insurance plan for poor fucks like myself didn't cover my medical expenses... because I didn't turn over the $2,500 I got from my personal injury protection plan associated with my car insurance. Why didn't they tell me back in, say, October or November, or January, when I actually got the card, that I would be forced to hand over money I needed to live?
Thanks to the sins of omission of the county, I now owe somewhere around $4,300. I'll sort out payment options with the collection agency tomorrow, because I didn't have time to do so today. I don't believe there's a minimum monthly payment, so those greedy fucks are going to get nickel-and-dimed if I can get away with it.
Fuck this country for not providing free, or at least reasonably priced, health care to its citizens. Fuck all the politicians whose pockets are lined with pharmeceutical-lobby dollars, fuck the employers who shove their workers into shitty health plans to save money, and fuck all of us for not doing a damned thing about it.
My sinuses are haywire and I'm out of beer, which makes for a fitting end to a travesty of a day.

I feel your pain, buddy. They tried that gas with me after my medical emergency a few years ago. They wanted too much per month, so I plead poverty. Wrote a sob story letter with the tag at teh end stating "please attach to any and all claims".
I have not paid a dime, citing the inflexibility of the collector to take what I could give.

And why the fuck do they cover Viagra and other penis-erecting drugs and they won't cover modern birth control? They make it easier for a man to knock up a women but they don't give a woman the options she needs to protect herself! Granted, stupid ass pills are covered, but not every woman can/wants to take them!
So here I am, paying out the ass for lame ass insurance, and I still have to pay for my birth control out-of-pocket. AND I just discovered that my vision insurance no longer accepts my optometrist.
I'm not a big advocate of free healt insurance, but I do think there needs to be some serious reform.
I'm in the wrong business.

I say that as I've heard you insurance idiocy speech 4 times already.
Besides...the gift of wood is a gift for the ladies. Well, for straight guys anyway.
