I Picked Up a Hitchhiker Tonight (Sad Story)
 Edited on Tue Jun-09-09 05:50 AM by armyowalgreens
So I'm driving home and and see some guy next to the local urgent care with his thumb up. So I stopped and he explained to me that he needed to go down the road to the pharmacy to get a script filled.

So we go down the road to Walgreens and they reject him because of his insurance. Turns out the guy is a married man with a step-son. Apparently he drove a nail through his hand earlier tonight putting up a wall clock. On top of that, his step-son is in the ER with Kidney problems. Apparently their insurance stopped paying for the kids medication and he got sick. The kids dad won't pay for the medication because he's a deadbeat. On top of that, his car is not working. And on top of that, his job cut back his hours and he has no money.

So, I told him I'd drive him about 15 miles down the road to the next pharmacy that would take his insurance. We get to the next pharmacy and their system was down. I volunteered to drive him another 10 miles to the next pharmacy, but he wanted to get back because his wife and step-son are taking a cab home from the hospital and he wants to be there with them.

Mind you, he has a ****ing hole in his god damn hand. He needs antibiotics and pain killers and he opts instead to take care of his family.


Plus, he kept offering me money, but all he had was 13 dollars in his name and I didn't want it anyway. Any guy like that deserves to be helped out. I can't take money from him.


I learned four important things from this.


1. Good men get screwed.


2. Dead-beat dads are assholes (although I already know that since I have one)


3. My life is pretty damn good compared to someone living just 2 miles away from me.


4. **** INSURANCE COMPANIES and **** the greedy assholes that ****ed up the economy.

Where does he find the time to go any where?

What you should have learned from him, is he was too proud to take a handout, even from someone willing to offer the help. It's a trait you DUmmies wouldn't understand.

I doubt this proud man wants you to make him his poster boy.

Bullshit.  How the hell do you drive a nail through your hand putting up a wall clock?  He probably did it on purpose wanting pain medications and they rejected him.  Insurance doesn't willy nilly cut off medications for a child in the E.R.  There are so many holes in this story it is a sponge.

Anyone notice three paragraphs--not just one--started with "So....."?

A superbouncy, three "So....."s.

Attention lurking DUmmies:  Obama does not give a shit about you, and does not want to hear your bouncy tales of woe.  Do you know how silly you sound when you tell each other "Call Obama!"  Let this sink in:  HE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. 

Obama's diabolical health care scheme will result in the kid with kidney problems to be dead as a doornail.

No kidding, insurance couldn't if they wanted to.  The child or anyone in the ER is treated first if there is a fight with insurance at all it comes later.

Why can`t these idiots state their opinions on issues and make an arguement to support it without fabricating these obviously fake tales?

What a ****ing liar.
He lives in Queen Creek, about 30 miles from me.

Though Queen Creek is rather rural, if he drove 15 miles to a pharmacy, he'd be in downtown Phoenix.  Another 10 miles and he'd be in Glendale.  If he went the other direction, he'd be halfway to Superior.  Assuming he went north or west, there are probably about 1500 pharmacies in that amount of city.

Hey BC. I'd bet the Wallgreen Giant would top the traitorous bastard list. He hasn't been registered for a month yet and is pushing a thousand.
