about that health care thing...

ok, so in metaquotes, there's a discussion going on about the NHC package, and i wrote something that i knew would sound pretty damned cold.  and i just wrote a phrase clarification, and i'm aware it's still pretty damned cold.  and in a way, i don't give a rat's ass about how cold people think me, because we're talking my money here, and how it gets spent, and how often it seems the government is spending my money on useless programs that don't actually improve anyone's quality of life.

and i'm almost crying about this.  but i think it's end-of-the-week blues combined with general tiredness.  but still, there's something wrong with a system that will care for an illegal alien who has no $$ and no insurance - but *won't* care for a *legal* citizen who just got dropped from their insurance and *is* making every effort to pay - but can't, because they aren't actually *poor enough* to qualify for welfare.  the system is fucking broken, all right?

and some of the things that have been brought up in that argument - SS and medicare - they don't actually make sense as arguments to me, because to my mind, *neither* of those programs are really viable.  or helpful in the long run.  actually, i'd be a lot more in favor of those programs if they were both *voluntary*, but they're not.

i've got no idea why i'm so freakin' upset, but *gah*!
