Oh what a pity
Oh what a shame
Me and the skirts always turn out the same
A little bit angry
A little bit tame
Me and the skirts always turned out the same
I am alive! Yes, I am alive!
Which makes we wonder why everyone is so afraid of socialized medicine. I called the Doctor’s office and they said “get in by 5 and we’ll see you.” So I left work early and drove like a mad man to arrive about 4:46. The receptionist said “I’m sorry; we are not taking anymore walk-ins.” I, of course, was not taking no for an answer. Seriously I left work early AND nearly killed myself speeding to get there. So after about 2 hours of waiting in a very crowded waiting room, I finally got to see the physician’s assistant who basically gave me the standard antibiotic and decongestant combo that I could have come up with myself in the Physicians Desk Reference.
.
So as I am checking out with the front desk, I’m informed my visit will be $75. Mind you, I have what qualifies as ‘good” insurance. Then it was off to the pharmacy to drop another $25.I had to even bypass getting the second half of my prescriptions due to cash issues. Moral of the story, just get a new TV and some Robbitusin next time you feel sick. It would be cheaper. Apparently, my regular Dr. is no longer covered fully on my health insurance. Unfortunately, neither the doctor nor the insurance company understands way. The best part is they neglected to tell me about the change until I had to cough up the $75.

Poor Jonathan! But that is the payback for being a pussy and being so reliant on modern medicine I guess. Every little cough and what not and we run to the doctor. Suck it up, take some vitamin C and echinacea and tea, you will be fine. We bitch about the big health insurance and pharmaceutical companies so much then go right on and support them when we dont necessarily need to.
Just say no!
