I wonder..

August 12 2005
I wonder about the state of the world sometimes. Mostly, when it hits me in the face. My mother got dropped from Tenncare. Tenncare's demise was an accumulation of greedy pharmacutical companies, their ties with pushing antidepressants onto any shmo who shows sign of anxiety: just ask my mother. My mother's doctor visits are still covered by whats left of Tenncare, but she has to pay for her medicines. She's in no trouble, but I start thinking about people who depend on these medicines to function and live an ordinary life. Heck, even to live. People commonly dissmiss it as the "equal opportunity" schlock, but they soon forget that not everybody is smart enough to get white-collar job, and not everybody can make 200 grand a year and live in a 2 story house with all the works. I hate it. I hate it so much when I see people living legitimate lives as best as they can suffer just because of a few bills passed through an government office.

TennCare is cutting way back on my mom's medication. Bad news. The TennCare stuff is total b.s. *mini-picket*
