Universal Medicare

I am so tired of paying medical bills. They are literally going to break us! We have insurance now and we are still paying thousands of dollars out of pocket that the insurance won't cover. I am so sick of American health care. I know this isn't the popular opinion, especially in my group of friends. America need to get with it! I have heard all the arguments of the opposing opinion about lesser quality of health care but I just don't buy this crock of krap. I have family and friends in both Canada and Australia and they are very happy with the health care there. People who say they have bad health care there more than likely have never even been there! I am tired of WICKED CORRUPT companies inflating the prices of medication when they are adding fillers just to produce more product. Why should the poor not get the same attention as upper class? Communism is a bad word here but when we learn about the Celestial Kingdom...doesn't it somewhat reflect that. Perfect Ideal Communism? I realize that is taking it to a bit of an extreme. Really I am just pissed that we pay 700 a month in insurance and in the last month have paid a thousand to the dentist and the OB. How is that right? What happened to being a doctor for the sake of saving lives? Has Satan grabbed hold of all those people and told them money is more important????

Musings

Lately, I have been reflecting on all the different ways my life could have gone. It could have turned out completely different with only the slightest decision. I think back and wish I could have told some people what I really thought at the moment for better or worse. Except for my few closest friends, all of my good friends were male. I loved all the guys I worked pest control with, waitressed with, and met randomly. I had some awesome guys friends. Even some of my boyfriends were such awesome friends that I miss that friendship. As my guy friends started getting married I realized I never wanted some wife to think wrong of our friendship and slowly drifted away. When I became engaged to George I dropped all my guy friends like hot potatoes. Not that he ever asked me to. To be honest I pretty much dropped all my girl friends too. Now I miss those friendships. Sometimes I will see someone that I use to be so close with and it is sad to see how time changes everything. I am sad that I don't know what is going on with their life. That I can't laugh and joke with them like old times. I get it that most of the time co gender friendships of married people can seem inappropriate. It just makes me sad to remember how much I loved them as a person!
