Fucking health care rationing and non doctors making health care decisions/mandates.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Tim's insurance has a $20 copay for generic drugs -- unless they're "mental health" drugs, even if they're generic. The "mental health" drugs, even generic, are $40. Ritalin is included in that. And starting next year, his insurance is putting a cap on how much Ritalin can be prescribed to a patient in a given month, even it the cap is under what the doctor prescribes, because it's what the patient fucking NEEDS to function.
Well, sure. I mean, can't Tim just decide to have better mental health and decide to not have ADD? PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY PEOPLE!!!

Health insurance is just a crutch and stifles initiative and keeps people from going out and finding good health.
edit: They could go out and be janitors--but that would take jobs away from the children.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
My mother used to date a janitor. So the whole time that nimrod's clip is playing, I'm thinking "At least say "custodian" or "facilities" asshole."(and that job is way too serious for urchins with brooms...honestly, till I met B. I had *no idea* how much they are put in charge of,which made me all "Bad lefty...no union-made biscuit," but the good ones make it all invisible and shit. The heating, cooling, and lighting of public schools is in their hands, as are environmental retrofits...it's a real job, not just a track for obnoxious poor students(although that's probably how B. got started.) my brother was such a dick yesterday...he literally flounced off. Though Mom said B. was immature, he was not jailbait. Am I a bad person for wishing Karl Rove's route to Hopkins had been a bit more...scenic? "Mic check, motherfucker!"

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I saw something by someone who'd actually worked as a janitor/ custodian at a school who pointed out that the kids would be cleaning up all kinds of bodily fluids AND using heavy-duty industrial cleaners and equipment.

It's major, yeah. But Newt never bothers to learn anything about the little people(or anything else, either.) "Republican intellectual" "Jumbo shrimp." IJS.

The status is NOT quo.
My uncle was a facilities person at a local New Hampshire school, and the stories he tells are beyond horrific.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
exactly. Also, Newt looks like shit for his (claimed0 age. My mom is supposedly three years behind him--they look like different life forms.
