"All jobs are required to provide healthcare"
Edited on Sat Mar-27-10 07:14 PM by whatsthebuzz
I was talking to a friend earlier who's conservative and doesn't like the healthcare reform. Conversation is as follows:
ME: I'm glad this healthcare reform passed.
HER: You're one of those lazy liberals without health insurance!
ME: No I have health insurance. I am self-employed and have to buy my own.
HER: If you and other liberals would get real jobs, you'd have healthcare provided for you.
ME: ???
HER: All jobs are required to provide healthcare. It's the law.
ME: Oh really? What law?
HER: I have healthcare though my job and had it at my last job. So real jobs provide it. Not shitty jobs. Real jobs like mine.
ME: So what do you say to people who can't get a "real job" like yours?
HER: Get off your lazy liberal ass and go to school.
ME: Uh, I'll talk to you later.
People are amazing at times.

2. I can't believe that's how the story ended!
Couldn't you have lied and told us you turned the corner and she got hit by a Mack Truck.
When she went to the hospital she found out that her company hadn't paid it's premiums so she was wheeled out on to the side walk to wait for a bus to the city hospital twenty miles away.
While she was still in the hospital the bills started to come. She had to max out her charge cards and use her mortgage payment money to pay whatever bills she could........
You know the rest.
Good pointers, but you forgot a cop in the bushes and people cheering.

4. My gosh...
We could make my encounter into a movie or a TV drama!
It might provide a ratings boost for MSNBC in Keith's spot.

3. And for the record
My "lazy liberal ass" has two college degrees (just Associate's) but can't find a "real job" yet. So I'm self-employed for now.
Dealing drugs out of your mom's basement is not considered being self employed.

Since you never said what those degrees were (just Associates), they must be some obscure, useless, worthless, BS degrees (and I'm not talking Bachelor of Science)....
Living in your parent's basement and posting on looney leftist's blogs and chatrooms for pizza money isn't "self employed"....

My first guess was Political Science and Liberal Arts, yours were the second, but probably they are more along the lines of Journalism or some Minority/Objectivity understanding/training/indoctrination, with a minor in conspiracy theories and chicken wire model construction....
