Most people don’t realize how much control the government has on your life — in a bad way. Those stupid fucking laws that both parties pass, force people to act in particular ways. If you try and operate even slightly outside the system you get fucked.
Health care is one such example. America expects you to work for a company that provides health insurance because there is essentially no other way to get it if you need it, even if you could pay a few hundred a month for insurance. If you are nice and healthy then you can get subprime health insurance but you could also just risk it because you are nice and healthy. Once you have medical history then you can only get it through an employer. Many people even get sick working for a company, lose their job, and then lose their health insurance.
Because of the way health insurance works, people are not able to leave employers and start new companies without the added risk of no health insurance. If you have a spouse and children, the calculation is even more difficult because somebody is likely to need health care.
In recent years even people working full time do not have access of health insurance. My two daughters both work full time but their employers have no health insurance. They are have enough medical history that they cannot get private insurance either. Private insurance is subprime insurance because the health insurance company take advantage of individuals in the spirit that the rich always fuck the poor in America.
In a country that says there is freedom to do what you what, this cannot actually be realized if you cannot exist without health insurance. America didn’t use to be this way but it sure is now.
I use to think I was so blessed being born in America. Now, I know it is a curse to be born here. I hate America and would leave if I could figure out how but I am locked into this fucking place.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
