My co-op maintenance includes everything—heat, hot water, gas, electricity, taxes. My COBRA costs more than all of that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Gosh I wish someone would come along and stomp all over our god-given freedom to market-driven medical care.

It looks like I have to fill out a questioaire for this -which means I'm subject to being turned down for pre-existing conditions. Forget hard. At the moment it looks like I won't be able to get medical insurance.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, that sucks, Gar.
I took my awesome reusable bag that folds up into a little packet to Trader Joes (Trader Joes!) today. I loves it, but the snap is breaking off. My best bags are all soft canvas bags that were from the early transition before they started doing cheapo ones.
Anyway! I am in the casita! It is super cute. The house itself is a little larger than I was picturing and the parking is a little smaller than I was picturing. I'm glad to have the gated parking, but it is a tight squeeze off an alley to get into it. We worked out a different way of driving to the cabin that helps.
We grocered and brought bags in and are now chilling. Vacay!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
For fuck's sake Typo, that's so impossible! Arrgh!
Something needs to change.

It will change, Typo just can't get sick until Jan 1, 2014.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Typo, I'm so sorry. That totally sucks. Free market my ass.
Have fun on your vacation, Liese!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I hope something works, Typo. One of the things that's insane is that the inability to get health insurance at a reasonable price is the main factor that keeps people from starting their own businesses. Affordable insurance for self-employed people would probably create more jobs for less money than anything else.

Ugh, Typo. If you can't find a plan that will take you in the meantime before universal healthcare goes into effect, may I suggest opening a separate savings account (or interest-bearing checking if you can get one) as a dedicated for-medical-expenses-only reserve and putting that $300/month aside into it? Won't help with getting good pricing on meds and having doctor's fees adjusted down, but it might at least give you a bit of a buffer for any acute care you may need.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
