Dear Americans,

Between the Republicans, Democrats AND independents who won't vote for Trump but can't bring themselves to vote for Hillary, it could very well be close enough for Trump to win.

Why it's not a good idea to use wi-fi to run portable road signs

Okay, let's get down to the nitty gritty... which candidate is most likely to actually DO SOMETHING about healthcare costs? IN REALITY.

Today, I left my house and went to the doctor. They told me I owed them $202 because I had a balance and had to pay for today's visit as well. This is with F****** insurance. I said, "I don't understand why it's so high. I have a $25 co-pay." They said I haven't met my deductible. Well, at every other doctor I see, I only pay $25, so what's their problem. Then I see my doctor for 4 F***ing minutes. For $202.

I come home and call up the people that I'm paying off the MRI I had in January 2015 to make my monthly $25 payments on the 2 accounts I still owe on that SOB. Well, guess what... now I have a 3rd account because I went to the clinic at some point in the last few months. So I have to pay $75 since I have 3 accounts now. So, I'm out $277 so far.

Then I go to the pharmacy to get my prescriptions and find out that insurance is no longer covering my antidepressant like they were before and it's now going to cost me $70 a month for a single prescription WITH F***** INSURANCE! So my prescription total was $162 and some odd cents WITH ****ING INSURANCE.

So in the course of ONE DAY, I've put $440 on my credit card for MEDICAL BILLS even though I have F***** insurance.

Now, if I didn't have a job, sat on my ass, refused to work, and had Medicaid, all of this would have cost me about $8 because I would have mooched it off the government. Tell me our system isn't UNFAIR AND BROKEN.

SO.... which candidate is going to fix it?

Probably none of them, unfortunately, if the truth be known.

Of the two major parties - neither of them. Both parties are beholden to the same corporate money so there is no incentive for either of them to change things.

Exactly. The health insurance companies got their pigeon in office so now we have Obamacare so now everyone is required to have insurance or be fined which means the companies have a monopoly so they can raise prices and cut services. We got a letter informing us that BC/BS will now only cover blood sugar and cholesterol routine checks (no complete blood counts which is kind of important for things like detecting cancer). They now only cover a pap smear every 3 years which is plenty of time to develop cervical or ovarian cancer. They extended the period of time between mammograms, prostate checks, colonoscopies (it might be one in your life now if I remember correctly), etc.... But, yeah, Obamacare was going to be great, wasn't it? It was "for the people." No it wasn't. It was for big business--just like everything else. Big business owns the Republicans AND the Democrats and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

Unfortunately I had hoped that Bernie would make it and at least attempt to break up the banks and Big Pharma. Not enough people voted for him so we are right back to square one.
