One visit to the doctor: $60. One round of bloodwork: $50. One lifetime of incredibly expensive medical care: Priceless.

It is sad to realize, while sitting in open enrollment for the new Benefits period , that the money that should last a person an ENTIRE YEAR and would cover regular doctor visits, blood work, prescriptions, will only last me ONE...count 'em...ONE...month. That's right, 1 month.

After that, I pay 10% of the cost of whatever I get done up to a set dollar amount which isn't terrible, but still. One month?

Stupid expensive old lady body.

Which is why we need universal health care and why people (by which I mean Republicans) who want only to see Obama fail in order to get themselves back into power and to hell with the citizens they were elected to represent should have their health insurance taken away from them until we get coverage for everybody like they have in Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Japan, you name it, they have it we don't and why the hell not?
