Forgive my ignorance -- if only I've had a nickel for every time I've said THAT -- regarding the government's catagorizations and the health care industry's exclusions.<BR/><BR/>Thus spake Homer Simpson: "The government?

It creates a "mirror of the soul" so that anyone looking at a person (I've never used it on a corporation, but the principle should be the same) can see their true nature. It's often called "the Emperor has no clothes." Of course, most people know KP's true nature, don't they? <BR/> And don't even get me started on insurance, which of course I cannot get. I might have been covered on Ursa's insurance if we could get married in the eyes of the state, but that "common law" thing doesn't work unless you have one Y chromosome and ONLY one Y between you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942041.post-1142615432482028182006-03-17T09:10:00.000-08:002006-03-17T09:10:00.000-08:00Yes, the "thieves" site you mention is the one I l...Yes, the "thieves" site you mention is the one I link to in my post with the phrase "annoys and frustrates." Argotnaut, diligent girl that she is, provides additional snarky links on her site in the post entitled "Son of Birth Control Quest."<BR/><BR/>We have a friend who went out with a girl from Canada for a while. She said she would never move to America because the health care system here is "barbaric." Tough to argue on that score.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18246976491896531414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942041.post-1142604423398782122006-03-17T06:07:00.000-08:002006-03-17T06:07:00.000-08:00I feel your pain, brother.

Hey -- don't consider the fact that I'm fine now, take my meds, and am probably healthier (and, therefore am cheaper to insure) than most overweight, unhealthy Americans. Now I know how diabetics feel when they say "I'm fine as long as I take my inexpensive medication." Sorry, chronic illness person, come back when you're obese or something and we'll talk. Don't get me started. . . !!<BR/>Anyway, I started out to respond about the Kaiser thing: There's a guy in California (I think) who has a Web site that takes the "thrive" campaign and has modified it to "thieves" to describe Kaiser and it's policies. Marty worked at Kaiser for 7 years and the Web site was a source of concern for his department: Public Affairs. As Marty says, he had the second-worst job in the world, working in Public Affirs for an HMO. The WORST job: a stand-up comic in Iraq.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
