Where's your head at?

I though it would be easier to comment in my blog on Helen's statements on marriage and health insurance.  I have never personally agreed with legal marriage myself and think it is a bunch of crap for a variety of reasons.  Aside from that we shouldn't have to worry about whether or not we can have health care because we do or do not have a spouse and/or same sex partner's health insurance to be covered under.  The fact that we have to rely on health insurance in order to go to the doctor pisses me off.  I am a big supporter of socialized medicine and we should all have the same benefits and access to health care despite our jobs, marriage, social class, etc.   The insurance industry controls the quality of our health care, and still doesn't provide the best coverage.   God help you if you have a pre-existing condition. 
When I had health insurance I was paying just over $100 dollars a month to have 2 doctors visits a year with a $25 dollar co-pay,  a prescription decutable of $250, but wait birth control was not included in that,  and that is the only prescription drug I ever plan on taking. 
If something major would have happened I still would have had to pop $4000 out of my ass to go to the hospital.  And I am healthy and don't smoke.  Another male music teacher at the store who is 10 years older than me, over weight and smokes had lower health insurance payments.  Why? Well because I am a woman and may have children.  Oh and thanks for not covering my birth control.   So I said fuck it and dropped that shit a year ago.  I am not spending $1200 dollars a year so I still have shit medical benefits.    Since Molly graduated from college and had to go on Cobra until she could find a real job that provides benefits is spending over $400 dollars a month on health insurance, not to mention what she has to pay in co-pays for doctors visits and prescriptions.  With her pre-existing conditions if she would have said no to the COBRA insurance and waited to find a job that provided insurance she may not have been able to get insurance or it would still have been extremely high.   
 
On another note and speaking of Molly, this morning Molly came downstairs and asked me if Mark was in the bathroom, I said no he left, and she said it must be LaJuane then.  I thought LaJuane was gone too because I had heard him in the shower earlier in the morning.  So she goes up stairs and I hear the water turned on and figured she was in the shower.  Like 15 minutes later she come back downstairs bitching about LaJuane being in the bathroom too long.  Then a few minutes later I am upstairs and she is like he has been in there for 20 minutes, and I told her I thought he already showered and left.  I said knock on the door and tell him to hurry up.  So she knocks on the door a few times, no answer and is flipping out because she is late for work.  I am pretty positive LaJuane is not home, and wondering what the fuck, with the crazy neighbor we are always a little parinoid.  LaJuane's car is not outside, so I called him and he was at work, and I told Molly, he is definitely not in the bathroom.  So I ask her, did you turn the water on?  Which is what I orginally assumed a half hour earlier.  She said I don't think so.  So I go in the bathroom, shower is on, steamy as hell in there.   Maybe she was still asleep when she did that, I don't know.  Lay off the Ambian.  She said well I took two last night to sleep, and she couldn't get out of bed this morning, which contributed to the being late factor, aside from the fact she thought LaJuane was in the bathroom.  
 
Just thought I'd share that.  Well must be going.
