I´m afraid I don´t understand much of those health insurance-issues since the system here is different
Don't worry. Most Americans don't understand it either. Unfair is the one very obvious and undeniable thing about it. Basically, the American people at large are being screwed over by a bunch of jerks in Armani suits (the international bankers, health insurance/pharmaceutical company owners, big business executives etc.). You might consider reading the article I posted for a more detailed explanation of the above - but the bottom line is that the American healthcare system was designed for profit, not for the benefit of the sick and needy or any such sentimental reasons.:/ Everything in this country seems to revolve around profit/revenue, at the cost of human life or wellbeing - and it's so utterly revolting I just want to hurl sometimes. I need to STOP reading the news, or I will go crazy. *tears hair out*
maybe find a middle-way and hopefully avoid panicking to keep everything in place
Yeah... that would be good. I am afraid, though, that for my mother panicking has become second nature.:(
life-quality and value as a human being goddamnit
Human beings have no value in this country. They are either cheap workhorses or cannon fodder.:/
It´s good you go with him
Me and my sister take turns accompanying him to all those appointments, because 1) he isn't supposed to drive until they figure out why he tends to suddenly lose consciousness for no apparent reason, and 2) he doesn't speak English very well, so he needs an interpreter. And mom's English isn't any better either.:|
Icon!Gasp!
I know.:) That icon is from Viggo's early appearance in a soap opera.;) He supposedly played a shady character called Brag the Smuggler, who "smuggled his way" around a mysterious, non-existant island of San Marcos.:P
