This is so much bullshit on Pamela's part.
Pamela's been a teacher a long time--and is apparently still a teacher, still enjoying the same generous medical insurance paid for by the long-suffering taxpayers of Kansas.
It's not like she's on Medicaid or anything.
She alleges she'll lose her job because of her loose bowels, which might or might not be true, but it wouldn't be as bad as what she's hinting. I mean, schools don't even cut bad teachers loose without something.
At the worst, Pamela will have to take disability and retire--thus getting the standard teacher's disability pension, along with whatever medical insurance benefits go with it.
When compared with so many other people--like, 99% of the rest of the whole world--Pamela's got nothing about which to complain. She needs to be grateful, not whiney.
