Guilty, Guilty, Guilty
May 25th, 2006
Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling’s smug mugs will look so much better behind bars. I couldn’t be more pleased about the Enron verdicts, although, they will probably end up with a cushier incarceration than deserved.
Still, I long for a day when the same G-word would be leveled publicly against The Man Posing As President and many in his administration; for starting a war with false intelligence, torture of prisoners of war, complicity in the Enron debacle, leaking the identity of a CIA agent, stealing an election (or two), having ZERO command of the English language, being really freaking stupid and SO much much much more.
While I’m at it, I’d also like to convinct my HMO (I’m talking about you, Pacificare), for taking my $250 monthy premium and actively contributing to the deterioration of my precarious health. I’m pretty sure that sending me to specialists who can’t squeeze me into their schedules, denying me medication that I desperately need, and reducing me to tears of sheer and utter frustration every single time I call customer service is NOT helping me “get better”.
But hey, at least they’re making money off me so it’s all good, right?
P.S. I must reserve a kind, positive word for Amber, the nice, helpful customer service agent at Pacificare that I spoke with today. I was still reduced to tears, but it was by jackass Pacificare policy, not Amber. She tried to mitigate my hysteria with kindness while I hyperventilated. She probably couldn’t even understand what I was saying half the time.
Thank you, Amber. Thank you.
Yay Guilty… Not to be sentenced untill 9/11… Isn’t there something significant about that date? Anyway…
I can’t count the number of “round and round”s I’ve had with health care providers. This year, my premium went up and my Rx copay more than tripled. It is immoral for people to make profits off my health (or lack there of). I once heard a story that in old world China you paid your doc/needle wielder/herb pusher only when you were well. If you got sick he/she wasn’t doing a very good job. I don’t know if it’s true… but i thought it was a good story.
[…] It just never ends with the goddamn health insurance. Which, as previously established here at EGW, tends to make me EVEN MORE SICK. […]
