SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!!! Omigod protect the childrenz!

Yesterday, I went with my mother to a health insurance seminar. Evidently, her employer is thinking of switching health insurance providers. Which, is odd, considering she essentially works for Indian Health Services

Basically, the entire concept of health care in non-reservation America scares the shit out of me. Because, well, it's fucking expensive.

Me too.

I've got to get on SOMEthing though, so I don't bankrupt my family if I get something stupid like apendicitis. I'm making enough to afford it, sort of, but that'll pretty much kill my disposable income. Damn, that was nice while that lasted.

You could marry me and you can go to the nearest county hospital and charge it all to IHS.

But we'd have to convince Clark that threesomes are fun.

You know, you're the second person today to offer to marry me so I could get health insurance.

And I don't think Clark would take much convincing on that.

The second person?

Aww. But I am the more tempting offer, right?
I mean come on, insurance is all co-pays and conditional, my healthcare is free.

Yeah, but my other would-be husband makes $60k a year. And works in NYC.

I could be on season 2 of Real Housewives of NYC.

What've you got?

Access to skiing in Tahoe and with the people who live in my apartment building, repeat appearances as a witness on "COPS."

In two words, what I have to offer you is: "Ghetto fabulousness!"

Oh, and the free health care with absolutely no out-of-pocket expenses and more disposable income.
