Socialism, You My Friend

I am crazy sick this week with a throat infection (yes, I'm always sick--so what?). And I still don't have health insurance since I have to go to the Immigrant Absorption office first. And I can't go to the Immigrant Absorption office until the army sends me my beautiful, coveted service exemption, which is supposedly on its way.

Last night I got a home visit from a nice Russian doctor lady. Today, I stumbled around the smelly streets looking for some antibiotics, which I had to pay full-price for, no insurance at all. Three packs of antibiotics cost me a whopping $15. WOW.

This, and the free food at my new job, and mothers getting to leave their jobs early, and the ability to get abortions . . . make me love socialism.
