Annoyed

I get so annoyed when people say they are so fed up with their insurance that they wish they could live off the government. Really? REALLY?! Do you even have ANY idea what you're saying? Do you really think the people on Medicaid have it so great? If so, I have the perfect plan for you.

First off, you'll need to quit your job because I GUARANTEE you make too much money to receive government assistance. Second, you'll need to have a child. But, before you get too excited, you can't get married or live with your baby daddy (if he's employed) and you can't receive child support. Sound good so far? Now that you've got those things out of the way, you'll need to go stand in line to try to get a beautiful place to live right in the heart of the ghetto where you'll have scenic views of people conducting illegal activities right outside your door. Doesn't that sound like a nice place for your child to grow up?

Once you're all settled in to your new place you may start thinking about getting a job for some extra money. But don't go working too hard because the more money you make, the less benefits you'll receive from the government. And when I say don't make too much, I mean don't work full time at minimum wage because that's too much money. But, hey, you'll be getting your really crappy insurance for free so it's a great life, right?

I really wish people would stop and think about what they were saying before they start complaining about how awful their lives are because they have to pay for insurance. Be grateful! There are lots of people who have none. And I know that I would much rather continue working and continue living my lifestyle even if it means that I have to pay for my health insurance. I consider myself lucky that I even have the option. Yes, I completely agree that the system is broken and that people are better off living off the system than they are trying to better themselves but that isn't the fault of the people ON the system so stop blaming them. You know the saying, don't hate the player hate the game? Same thing here.

Okay, I just had to get that off my chest.
