That is ridiculous. I don't take my kids to the doctor for most of the things I keep them home from school for - tummy bugs, colds, etc. I mean, 7 days in a row I'd go to the doctor, but 7 days over a year is not that many sick days.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Because books.
I know exactly what you mean, brenda. I'm lucky that the two drugs I take daily are available for $4 a month, even though I take one of them only because it's that low, and I switched to it from one I liked better because I didn't have insurance anymore.
When Jake broke his nose a couple of years ago? We're *still* paying off that bill.
Like I want to shop around procedures, but that is crazy, right?
I don't know that the procedures would vary as much, cost-wise, but it doesn't hurt to check.

Also, I love PP and they deserve uber support right now. But they called her a few weeks after she'd been in and left a message on her VM that there was something concerning in her test results and she should call them back right away OMG eleventy.
And when she called back 15 minutes later they didn't answer. Because it was 4 pm. On a Friday. On a holiday long weekend. And then she checked the mail that day and had from them a brochure about irregular pap smears and cervical cancer.
Not on, PP.

If I was more used to this stuff, I would not have just taken the cats in, and I would not have agreed to start mac on a new drug with no generics and I probably would not have gone and seen this GI Dr. ANd I am not gonna be relieved when it is nothing, I am gonna be pissed that I spent over $1000.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Given the whole court challenge(s) to the individual mandate, I'm half-hoping it gets overturned and someone says, "Fuck it, then; single-payer it is."

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
it needs to happen. my problem with the health care bill is the continued reliance on insurance companies. they are the problem, not the doctors or hospitals. Insurance companies that exist not to help patients but to make a profit for themselves. Those are jobs i would love to see dissapear (or get absorbed into a single not for profit government-overseen system to pay for *everyone* to get the care they need. any time. all the time.)
