Final comment on health care/insurance reform-related politics and douchebaggery
Anybody who knows me and my partner knows that we haven't had access to affordable health insurance in years. It had been a dream of mine since I became interested in national affairs way back when I was a little kid that the country that I was taught to believe was "The Best!" would someday move out of the middling ranks of the planet's countries and finally have universal health care. Well, that's obviously not going to happen, and I have decided to withdraw from giving a fuck about American politics and concentrate on my fantasy world instead. But....
...If the health care bill actually does pass the House on Sunday, we will be happy. But not because we believe in some fantasy that we will be able to get insurance despite our non-employer coverage and our pre-existing conditions. That probably won't happen for years, if at all, anyway. So why will I be happy? Because Republicans, conservatives, birthers, ditto-heads, Fox News-viewers and fucking teabaggers will be UNhappy. That's all it is for us now. We just want those assholes to be defeated. When they say healthcare is NOT a right, they are insulting us personally. Fuck them. We don't even care what the bill actually does anymore so long as it makes Republicans cry and whine in defeat. Pure politics.
