I was just told by my new boss that in order to keep my insurance , I would have to have three times more coming out of my check (BIWEEKLY) than already is. As some of you may already know, I had a major surgery last year and I have a condition that I will have to take care of for the rest of my life (surgical menopause). I have a yearly physical exam coming up and as a single person who has to pay all of my own living expenses, I cannot afford to be paying three times more for my insurance. I am very much pissed off right now, but I'm not quite yet at that psychotic teabagger stage. I can't let myself go there because an angry African American woman with untreated menopausal symptoms could be a threat .(snark?)
I told my boss I just can't do it. I can't afford it. I am angry and I am crying and I have to let it out. I can't let this bubble inside me. I just checked The Wisconsin Badger Care Plus program and I don't qualify. I don't think anyone who works full time in anything at all qualifies for that. Oh wait, Walmart employees do. I know I have been looking into dealing with my hormones in a more natural way as opposed to horse piss, but now it looks like I don't really have a friggen choice in that matter, NOW DOES IT ? Besides, the more I remind myself that it's horse pee and that this year I was planning to end taking it, the more I realize I should not be sitting here right now crying my eyes out because I don't get access to dehydrated horse pee.
That's what it is you know. That's what they are made of. Urine from a horse that's Preggars (See Premarin) . and I'm crying hard right now because I can't afford some pee? Let's see, go to Walgreens and get some soy supplements or be behind on the Rent so I can have full access to affordable horse pee. Gee, I'd rather have the Soy. And what's really gonna happen to me now that my surgeon doesn't get to follow up with me like he needs to? I don't know. I guess I could apply for a low paying job at a large company , oh that's right all we really have out here is ..........Walmart.
And do you think I'm thinking happy thoughts when I think of our fat overpaid lazy , corrupted United States Senate ? All the benefits they get . All the money they don't deserve. Our money, our "Tax money". And I'm the pro big government one folks. I'm that socialist little witch, the one who rats out the CT's and mocks the tea baggers. Yeah. Well, guess what ? I know why they are pissed beyond reasoning. I know why they have lost their minds. I'm stronger than they are because I know how to control myself. But, unlike me, these righties are more prone to do something stupid. Make no mistake about it. Life has kicked them hard and they were already unstable. Now, with this current economy, they have just lost their ever lovin minds. And I'm the last person on earth you want feeling and ounce of sympathy for them.
Congress better get off their butts for Health Care Reform and they better do it fast because when President Obama talks about people losing their Health Care benefits EVERY DAY , there are real people behind those numbers. Not just people, but constituents , volunteers , canvassers , phone bankers and voters. And you know what ? I may not stand outside Russ Feingolds office with a misspelled sign babbling incoherently about things unrelated to my original protest. But if these soy supplements don't work and my hormones are wacked out and I can't see a doctor about it because Russ Feingold sat on his ass and said NOTHING in defense of the Public Option when he was on that Committee of Ten, I might tell him a thing or two he never heard before. Especially, if he asks me for money.
Anyway, I have stopped crying. Time for me to look for some sugar for this crate of lemons. Anyone got a recipe for some smoothies or cakes or pies or something ?
