I was making a Quesadilla today and i thought hey, I could use a lil spice in my life so i go into the refrigerator and find some hot taco sauce in a glass jar. So i get all my other quesadilla supplies in order, like the cheese and the onions and the tortilla. Now i turn on the stove and tenderly place a cast iron skillet on the heating element and wait for the iron to warm up. then i put the tortilla on and well, you guys know how to make a quesadilla. so i get to the part when i want to add the spice so i open the glass jar containing my sweet hot taco sauce when
:taco:
the entire top of the jar, not just the lid, the whole top twists off and slices my second right metacarpal just beneath the first knuckle nearly severing my tendon. I decided that stitches may be necessary so i visit the local doctor where they make me fill shit out bleeding from the finger that i use most in writing, before they tell me that i have to give them $200 before they even look at me because i dont have insurance. so i pony up my plastic, which they hold on to, and wait for three hours watching whatever ridiculous program they happen to be showing untill they call me in and have me lay down on a gurney, "incase i pass out," for another hour untill they finally got me stiched up.
If i was going to pass out i think it would probably have happened while i was sitting bleeding in the waiting room for three hours... So when are they gonna fix health care, and are they gonna fix all the stupid bureaucracy or are they just gonna ease up on the $200 i had to pay up front?
the 200$ up front becomes 2000$ hidden in your taxes, the 4 hour wait becomes 7 and you will LOVE it because its FREE health care....
I dont understand how a jar could have hurt you so badly.
Emergency rooms are always expensive.
Learn to sew. ;)

cross-stitched a few samplers in his day
It wasnt even an emergency room. it was an
Urgent treatment center.
I didnt know that glass jars were so dangerous until today either.

Yes, it's better to just die quietly, and not jam up the ER for the shiny White rich peoples.
fuck the shiny rich white people..
I think they all have secret free doctors in all their tall buildings anyway. In fact, that is what happened to all the really smart doctors.

Then it becomes $0 in your taxes, because you don't pay taxes, because the government pays you your wage. And the seven hour wait becomes a zero hour wait because there is no point going to the hospital as you are as skilled as the doctors at stichting up hands.

don't forget about all those hidden taxes we'll be paying.
I loathe going to the emergency room, I wont go unless I'm convinced its fucking important.
Anyway, a few years ago I had Uvulitis, and my Uvula swelled up to the size of a fucking golf ball. I couldnt breathe, I was afraid I was going to choke on it when I slept, and when I spoke I sounded like Marlon Brando from the godfather. So I go to the ER, and after a short wait (two maybe three hours) I see a doctor, they figure out pretty quickly that its just a bacterial infection of my Uvula, give me a shot, and that pretty much took care of it in a day or so.
Here's how the conversation with the doctor went, regarding payment/
"Do you have insurance?"
"Uh, No"
"Oh, thats ok, you can just do what everyone else does and NOT PAY."
His name was Dr. Quinn, I think he may have been a little bitter about that.

You should have eaten it anyway.
What's really fucking horrible is that people without insurance are charged roughly twice to three times what insurance companies pay for the same procedures.

If Jesus didn't want it to be this way, he'd have sent his angels down to fix the problem with capitalism and ignorant, blathering TV pundits.
