I don\u2019t actually hate my job; I just hate having to do it. If I could get a do-over, that\u2019d be great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should have been an auto mechanic. Or a doctor, with a specialty in sterilization. Something functional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pushing paper is much less satisfying, but it keeps the fam in healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And why is it that \u2018Murricans can\u2019t buy health insurance just like any other? Can shop for different coverages for cars, homes and contents, life, boats \u2026 J.Hole supposedly insured her butt, Vanna White her legs (who? yeh) Why not body insurance? For when something breaks? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guess that would make sense socan\u2019thavethat!!!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Read \u2026 something \u2026 somewhere \u2026\u00a0 that part of FDR\u2019s New Deal (wat? go look it up<\/em>) after WWII (wat? go look it up<\/em> \u2014 Einstein said the next one would be last one but he also admitted he got some of that sciency stuff wrong so there\u2019s that but I don\u2019t think this anyhoo) the Gub’mint asked employers to offer health insurance with employment, and that\u2019s the system we have.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not portable, can\u2019t take it from job to job, but \u2026 retirement accounts yes, so there\u2019s something, I guess?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read another something \u2026 somewhere \u2026 that one of the reasons healthcare costs so much is because the marketplace is all over the place. A procedure might cost this amount over there at that facility but the identical procedure will cost those amounts right here at this other place. So buncha doctors create the Health Care Blue Book to standardize medical costs and bring sanity to healthcare billing practices, which totally makes sense butcan\u2019thavethat!!!<\/em> {Ecclesiastes 10:1<\/em>}<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, and here\u2019s a really good idea (not\u2014masters of mankind, in effect<\/em>), hospitals now have these obstetric outpatient facilities, kind of like an ER but not really, where women (yes women and only women, with the occasional pregnant girl shudder<\/em>) in the early stages of labor go to get checked out and either sent back home to wait for more labor or shipped upstairs for birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, apparently, the women (yes women and only women) are getting bills from these OB\/ERs for emergency care, regardless of the state of their pregnancy. Total revenue mill, making bucks off\u2019n these babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a society, we are damned.\u00a0 But that might be the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not me, though, or Half, or theKid.\u00a0 Washed in the BLOOD.\u00a0 Oh yesss<\/em> moving on<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the really comical thing is that if women (yes women and only women) know what to look for on the bill, they can sometimes argue these charges away. AND and if the insurance companies don\u2019t want to pay these OB\/ER charges they don\u2019t, because corporate reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Methinks me suppose that\u2019s another reason abortion is so controversial. Cuts the money off, and most women (yes women and only women) pay cash at the clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I coulda been a contendah. Do abortion clinics take credit cards? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don\u2019t actually hate my job; I just hate having to do it.
