It is funny. It can be quite sad too. I used to post with this republican woman who got breast cancer. She was self employed so she got her insurance on the open market. Of course, her cancer claims were all denied, across the board.
I think she died. We never heard from her again. The last anybody heard she was in very bad condition, and with all that, she was fighting her insurance company.
I felt terrible for her. Unlike many of them here, she was not at all vicious. Just stupid.
Do all of them have to have this happen to them personally before the learn? I think the answer is yes and I believe this is due to some empathy gene the conservative personality is lacking. It's part of what leads them to conservatism in the first place.
The really sad thing is that it will actually happen to a good number of them, if nothing is done about our health care system. I think all of the time that it's time to pack it in and get out of this country. It's a country made up of far too many small, venal, mean-spirited people.
There are way better places in this world.
