FULL DISCLOSURE
I have a pre-existing condition. I was born with transposition of the great vessels, a heart defect. Basically, it means: what the hell are you still doing alive?
I am personally invested in Obamacare. Is it perfect? No, but I’ll fucking take it. Is it flawed? Yes, but I’ll fucking take it.
I’ll take it because before Obama was elected I had no hope, none at all. No insurance. Doctors who “maintained” me…at high dollars. Since adulthood, I have racked up almost $40,000 in cardiac events, absolutely none of which I have paid, nor ever will.
I’d go to the emergency room with atrial fibrillation, sign the paper, gasping for breath, and later throw it the fuck away. Whenever they tried to garnishee my wages, I quit my job. Fuck you.
I am a man of principle.
Now, as I get older, when shit may get real in a hurry, I don’t have to worry much. I have some hope. Before I had none. I would die early, simply because I’m poor.
Now you fuckers have to pay to keep me alive. Hahaha.
I’ll fucking take it.
