Lol, look at all your crazy, spilling out on my internets! Listen up. I run my own business. And I work in health care. I still work in health care partially because the costs of being a sole-proprietor and buying my own insurance are prohibitive, even though I run a successful business. I am intimately aware of how much health care costs. You don’t owe me a thing, and I wouldn’t take anything from you even if you did. I built something from nothing, and I’m not some elitist who “screens their clients carefully”. I don’t dehumanize people into trailer trash. I don’t claim I’m exceptional. It should be evident to anyone who knows me whether I’m good at what I do or not. I don’t need to shout it on a blog.

I have nurses in my family, I have nurses and nursing students as friends, I hang out at bars with people who run respite care facilities. I know what I’m talking about. I hear their stories every week. I know the truth. You run a limo company. What do you know about health care?

Your rhetoric is tired, your exceptionalism is skin deep. So yes, the nightmare will pass, and I’ll get what I deserve, which is a break on my premiums.

The welfare crack and the “I DON’T OWE YOU WEHHH” line, that’s what tells me you’re exactly what I think you are: a blind, panicked tribalist, who sees no need for critical thinking.

My grandmother is a nurse. Two of her sisters are nurses. My step mother is an ER trauma nurse. I have 92 cousins, on one side. We have nurses, doctors, lawyers, bums, limo company managers, chefs, housewives,househusbands, builders, business owners and garbage men, Ships Captains (just one of those at MMA) Teachers, bartenders, construction workers, prison guards, landscapers, an ex con … I not as think as you dumb I am.
