I just spent two hours working on complete horseshit. [View all]

I keep impeccable records. Always have.

I have a medical flex plan that I track to the penny and cross reference to several worksheets because I can't trust the people who administer such things. I have caught the administrators of my flex plans making dumb shit errors to the tune of a few thousand dollars over the past many years. Of course, these errors were not in my favor. Double postings, math errors that a well designed system should catch, etc. If I did not catch these simple errors performed by them, I would be harmed by a pretty substantial dollar amount.

I started doing this shit for some recent medical bills at about 4AM today.

And I gradually started fuming about the amount of time I am wasting on this completely fucked up "health care system" that we have here.

I am not smart enough to convey in writing the laughable steps that I have to take on a semi-weekly basis just to sort out my medical insurance problems/problems with reimbursement on my medical flex plans, screwed up bills from doctors, etc.

This is quite a health care financing and delivery system we have in this country. You have to be smart and aggressive (well, I'm not smart, but I make up for it by being aggressive) just to make sure that some insurance company, or some "flex plan administrator" is not sticking their fucking hands in your pockets. Just what you need when you may not be feeling well in the first place.

The people responsible for opposing single payer, and the people responsible for striving to eliminate Obamacare, and the greedy fuckers who have allowed insurance companies to advertise themselves as "health companies", and the people who spread misinformation about "socialized medicine" because they are too stupid to understand such things so they try to keep this country locked into the most fucked up piece of dogshit health care system that could ever be dreamed up...should be strung up by their fucking balls with hot razor wire (NOT LITERALLY OF COURSE YOU FUCKED-UP LURKING NARCS).
