That’s significantly less than I’m paying for cancer treatment for my cat. And I picked the budget treatment. Shit, I paid $200 yesterday just to pick up this month’s chemo capsule.

I LOVE getting five bills from five different business for one doctor visit. Totally increases the chances I’m going to catch an overbilling.

Oh my god. So much this.

So many Americans can’t see past the nose on their faces. They not only don’t care about how a policy affects their community as a whole, they can’t even see how it might affect themselves in the future. “I have health care now. I’m good. Mah tax dollars!” Never mind that you could get laid off tomorrow, then get…

I grew up in Kaiser (ok, not literally, but you know what I mean.) It struck me as impersonal and inefficient and I opposed single payer because I pictured a giant Kaiser. Now middle aged, having had insurance in the private and public sectors in a number of states, I would happily welcome our Kaiser heathcare overlord…

My stepfather just died of lymphoma after ten years of treatment. Not only was he terribly ill, but he was also dyslexic and came of age when they just called you stupid and you dropped out of school in junior high. If he hadn’t had my (literate) mother navigating billing and insurance matters for him, spending hours…

That would be too useful. :(

1st Amendment. Seriously, that’s their justification. They believe being required to do the job they chose is a violation of their freedom of religion.

I was just trying to get my synthroid filled at CVS. I waited in a long line, was told they needed me to talk to a pharmacist and sent me to another window. Tech at that window says “What? No, you’re good. Go back to the first window.” I follow her instructions only to get sent back all the way to the end of the long…

I’ve been on at least one prescription medication non-stop for about 20 years (I have low thyroid.) If you have access to an independent pharmacy, I would recommend giving them a try. Every one I’ve been to provided better, more personal service. (They kind of have to as it’s the only way they can compete.)

As an American who’s getting paid ain’t care, yeah. Other Americans ain’t down with that and I don’t get it. There are people in my own profession who think I shouldn’t do my job when I don’t approve of the the library patron. I say denying service because someone is a prick is the exact opposite of doing my job.

CVS pharmacies are such a shitshow. They can’t even pull a box of Sudafed off the shelf without fucking it up. Not in the least bit surprised.

I can’t watch Independence Day with other people because I’m too ashamed of the way I always cry during the President’s “rallying the troops” speech.

69. But some say I was created when Dr. Moreau spliced polar bear and human DNA.

Based on the article I read about the doc, it portrays Cissy as a stage mom who strategized Whitney’s career from an early age. She might be more than just hurt about abuse allegations.

Men can totally be feminists. But I’ve seen things like this article happen repeatedly, although it usually ends with women physically harmed rather than fired. If a man goes out of his way to make sure I know he’s an “ally,” I don’t automatically assume he’s up to no good. But I give him a wide berth.

I learned twenty years ago to be cautious around men who tell you about how they’re feminist as fuck. The louder they are about it, they more likely they found it a way to earn the trust of women so they can mistreat them.

In fact, according to the post, Martofel wanted to launch Feminist Apparel in an effort to “solve” the very rape culture he’d allegedly perpetuated. to provide himself with a fresh supply of victims.

The working class, too. Good luck, America, operating with just a few super rich people and massive underclass.

Our society’s official and unofficial policies are breeding out the middle class. This will eventually bite us in the ass.
