health care

angry
Somewhere in me there is a much bigger post full of explanations and rantings (sane ones) and fury, but right now, I don't think I could write it without damaging my computer with the virulence.
Why?
Well, mostly because of this post, via![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
jonquil , about the current state of American healthcare and how very easy it is to become uninsured. (Hint: don't get any serious diseases, guys. Because? Your insurance? Will not pay for it.)
And guess what else? It's totally legal for them to refuse to. So when your conservative friend who thinks he's so clever starts talking about how a public option for health insurance is going to destroy the country and result in the deaths of a lot of people? Go ahead and tell them to fuck right off.
This isn't the only problem with the current insurance system. But, hey. Isn't this enough of a problem all by itself?
Fuckers.
(Seriously, go read the post, even if you think you disagree with me: it's a much better, more elqouent explanation of this than I can possibly provide, especially when I'm this angry.)
