THIS IS FUCKED UP!!!!!!!!!

I just got off the phone with "Quality Assurance Medical" or whatever (They are the ones that find grants and what not to help people pay)..... Anyway, they called me to see if I was still working and if I planned to continue working..... when I said yes, the lady told me, that if I decided not to work, she could find money for me to pay.....

WTF IS THAT???????

I can't get any help if I work, yet if I don't work, and can't pay any other bills I can get help on my medical bills........

WOW..... WTF, so I'm fucked because I choose to better my life...... maybe when I see the doctor Wednesday I'll tell him how excrutiating the pain is at times (no lie there) or how I have insomnia and a stiff neck. Maybe I can get on disability, get everything fucking paid for, even school, open my halfway house/therapeutic community and place it under some type of partnership where I am just the manager/live in partner........

Yeah, I'll just abuse the system now..... fuck the people who would rather not have any type of universal healthcare, I'll just join the system and take everything I can....

Except for a few things, my pride, the fact I couldn't allow myself to do that, the fact I LOVE my job helping other addicts more than anything else I have ever done or how much money I have ever had and the fact that I'm bettering myself despite the people who would rather have systems like this than universal healthcare even if it were on a sliding scale basis.

They need to face the facts, government is going to pay the bills one way or another for those who can't, and people in my position given the chance...... I have a feeling the majority would jump at it. Especially knowing school financial aid would be there also.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
