Fed UP!

Jump to Comments

I’ve had it.  I’m ready to move to Canada or anywhere else  where I can get health care/insurance coverage that doesn’t cost me the majority of my paycheck every month.  I’m a single mom-you know that.  I have a 4-YO boy.  We are healthy aside from my being overweight (I’m working on this.)  and even still I have no current problems with hypertension or diabetes, etc.  I work at home so I can be with my son, but the bad part of that is I don’t make millions.  Far freaking from it, but staying home with Jake outweighs the money EXCEPT that I cannot find affordable health insurance coverage for the two of us.  The company I work for won’t provide it as it’s too expensive for them as well, and most of the other transcriptionists are covered under their husband’s insurance policies.  BCBS wanted $600+ dollars to cover us.  State Farm 500+ for sucky coverage.  Catastrophic, they call it.  It’s a catastrophy all right.

I think if our new President, whoever he or she may be and hopefully he or she will be democratic, I think if they do not take back the power from the corporations that run this country, everyone is going to continue to suffer,  Of course, except those rich folks who benefit from the corporations running the country.  We do live in a great country, but unfortunately, things get swept under the rug around here.  Let’s sweep those folks who are unemployed under the rug, those who have no insurance coverage and can’t afford to and who don’t qualify for the “great” governement/state assistance, sweep sweep.  Sweep helping out the gay and lesbian couples, who are probably more family oriented than some heterosexual couples, get same sex partner benefits, the benefits of a “marriage”, and to adopt their children if they are not the biological parent so that they have rights to the child.  Sweep, sweep the “lesser people” under those big old rugs.  Let’s shove all of this somewhere, hide it in the closet, the garage, until the world obesrvers leave.  Then everyone can continue to think we’re a country that has it together in all aspects.  Yep, we’re lucky to live in the US, but there are lots of things that need some work before we’re as great as everyone thinks we are, and these things are HERE.  They aren’t overseas in the Holy Land.  They aren’t in Mexico or Russia or anywhere else.  They’re HERE!!  We need to “fix” the things that need fixing in our country before we  even think of taking on the task of “fixing up” another.   These things have been ignored way too long and I’m fed up! 

So Mr. or Madam President to be, I hope you get your ass in gear and do what you say you will.  Way too many people depend on YOU!   I AM DEPENDING ON YOU!
