Although I imagine they take home more than I gross, I know that healthcare will never be free for me... |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Aw... Don't even go there. Poor people have Always had free health care.
When I lived on the street, I'd just walk into a hospital. Get a free meal while I was at it.
They don't even bother making you fill-out forms... You're gonna lie anyway.
I haven't seen a doctor since I got off the streets five years ago. And I've been sick too.
Just go down and buy some OTC medicine and deal with it.
Now that I have become 'a responsible, productive, member of society' I got nothing coming! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | SWMBO is just finishing a month's worth of radiation treatment for a brain tumor. The daily zap takes less time than a dental xray, but the bill for the first week was $13000. So some of us get to pay a ton for insurance, then we pay a ton for the cost that isn't covered, then we pay higher bills because they charge us extra to pay for the "free" health care and a bunch of extra taxes to pay for the free health care. OK, I'm starting to sound political, but I'm not trying to be. |

haha. that's std procedure for me too when there's yardwork to be done and I wanna play guitar. just make sure the missus don't catch on. |

Location: Alagoas, Brazil | I live in an apartment. No garden, no trees, no bushes. Heck, not even some flowers on the dinner table.
Guitars and amps everywhere.
Go figure.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I'm still doing the grass and sidewalk trimming. Last Saturday was a particularly nice day because there was some type of women's distance race going on across the street in the park. Maybe a thousand very physically fit women running by in little jogging outfits. SMWBO later asked why it took two hours to complete what is typically a half-hour job. I told her I needed to start spending more time in the front yard. |
