SO I took my daughter to the doctor today. She has some funky hives as well as swelling on her feet, mainly the pressure points on the tops and bottom of her feet. Especially her big toe. The doctor thinks it's allergies (long story) and ordered some blood tests (7 vials of blood were taken).
ANYWAY, I was telling this doctor (he is our new primary care doctor because we switched insurance as of january 1st) that we recently moved here from Dallas. He asked me how I liked it here and I replied that I didn't like it very much. Especially the cost of living, housing being three times what it was in Dallas and the TAXES. He said he would love to live in Texas except for the weather. I asked him what he thought of the health care deal and before he answered he said to me, "You are a red person who lived in a red state, now you are a red person living in a blue state. I'm a red person living in a blue state." I acknowledge I was a "red person" and then he just went off about the health care bill. I told him that I didn't realize the percentage of doctors were as low as they were that belonged to the AMA. He said something about how it is a percentage of the AMA that support it, not the AMA as a whole (mainly the people at the top). Then he brought up Rahm Emanual and his brother. How the elderly are going to get screwed, etc. He also mentioned Tort reform and said something about Texas was leading the way but that it is stuck in the Texas supreme court or something. To be truthful I don't remember exactly what he said about it but I heard Tort reform, Texas leading the way and something about Texas Supreme Court. I said to him, "You must be a Glenn Beck listener." He replied, "You must be a Fox News listener." Then he did some Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation.
He made me finally feel at home in this suck ass state.
I deserve at least a couple of bouncy's for the Tort reform, AMA and Rahm Emanual and Glenn Beck...don't forget those when you rate my bouncy.
