Insurance is required in MA, is the deal here. So I don't know what happens if you're uninsured.
They have a health plan available for unemployed/uninsured. Mass Health, I think?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But that still doesn't speak to where you get the best care if you're uninsured, is what I meant. And that was the original question, right?
If you're a single (edit: I don't mean single, I mean without kids) non-disabled adult, it's pretty much impossible to get free government insurance, as far as I know, no matter how poor you are. But if you show up at the city hospital, they have to treat you.

Yeah, I am doing lesson plans right now, and I am building in announcement which basically read SHIT STILL DUE IF WE HAVE A SNOW DAY; GET OUT OF BED AND READ, BITCHES!
But, you know, NICE.

There are hospitals here in Utah that call themselves not-for-profit and they take care of the uninsured--having been one of those sorts, I know this. However, they will try to get money out of you but are surprisingly good to work with.

We're still in Vegas. Night 3 in Vegas is 2 too many for me. I am EXHAUSTED, which might be the result of me carrying both twins at the same time around The Strip.
Want a vacation please. Oh yeah. I'll get one when Grace has surgery on Tuesday.

So, Showgirls is really really not good, huh?
Oh hell no. I mean, for quite a while it's the good kind of wretchedly awful, and you think maybe they knew how bad it was, and then they even ruin the campy enjoyment part.

Oh, not in SF where it's treated as a camp classic on a par with Valley of the Dolls.
ION, this cover of "Steady as She Goes" (Raconteurs) by Corrinne Bailey Rae is pretty good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So at 11:30 tonight I went to the apartment above me and asked the woman to turn her music down. She said she was sorry but then she complained about me playing loud music at 1:00 PM today.
Now she has her music off but she's talking very loudly (almost yelling) and is keeping me awake.

This is one thing I do NOT miss about living in an apartment. That, and I don't miss looking for parking less than three blocks away from my house.
I do miss maintenance men, however.
