Keep gobbling the bullshit
How's that bullshit taste you've been gobblin up, Fool?
Don't tug on Superman's cape... and yes, I am named after a character who does precisely that. I'm downright filled with irony.

I take pride in who I am. Always have, always will. I've worked hard my whole life and have never taken anyone's charity, and I'm not about to start now, no matter what. I'm telling you, there's no way I'm going to sit back and let some black president of the United States try to devise a structure to help me pay for the dialysis treatment I so desperately need to survive.
Not over my dead body.
Just who does this Afro-American occupant of the highest office in the land think he is, anyway? Look, I've got nothing against black people, but some of them act like the whole world owes them something. For example, important government subsidies on my dialysis.
You know, I don't recall asking for some black commander in chief to embrace protections that would prohibit insurance companies from dropping my coverage on a whim and operating as if my continued existence on earth were nothing more than a strategic liability. Plus, if I go along with this progressive health-benefits scheme, he'll probably hold it over my head every time I receive vital care with the aid of the government to which I already pay taxes.
Sorry. I've got too much self-respect for that.
Obama needs to know that there's still one American willing to watch his body drown in its own deadly internal toxins rather than have long-overdue reform crammed down his throat.
Fact is, nobody wants some too-big-for-his-britches black president butting in to suggest that everyone, including me, needs to be treated with dignity. Yet this Obama thinks he can just waltz in and and tinker with a health care system that destroys people like myself every single day.
Can you imagine what'd it be like if he weren't just half black?
Seriously, when Obama's done drumming up support for legislation that might allow me to see my daughter graduate from college and prevent me from dying before my 50th birthday, what's next on the agenda? Will he try to keep my life's savings from evaporating in a stock market that operates free of serious governmental oversight? Is there any aspect of capitalism run amok that this guy won't tamper with? Really, Obama, thanks but no thanks. The last person I need help from is some black leader of the federal government in a position to perhaps improve my quality of life.
The worst part is that I'll have to put up with this guy being a black president for at least three more years. I guess all I can do is try to hold out for the 2012 election. Maybe then we'll get a white president back in office. Maybe he'll have the common decency to let me suffer in peace.
Keep in mind that he has nothing against black people.
WTF is that shit Mxy?
I'm sure leaving out the "QUOTE=Tahoe" tag was a simple oversight.Quote:

The Superman comic strip is quite real though, from a famous Republican's comic book. Heh.
I don't even ask what it's from anymore. It's always from the Onion.
It's interesting, once you do some research, just how varied health care costs can be.
I had Kaiser Permamente health care for most of my life, and was willing to pony up $166 a month for solid coverage. Then, suddenly, my rate shot up to $261!! Why? Because I turned 40. No pre-existing conditions. Not an abuser of the system. I've been to the doctor a total of three times in four years, and only two of those were for "emergency" situations. An extra 65 dollars for no other reason than I'm one year older. So, I cancelled their fucking ass.
Aetna seemed like a decent alternative, since I know a few people who have it, and they're okay with it. Their quote for a similar plan: $120!!
Insanity!!!
