(5,167 posts)It's hard wired into my X chromosome. I have rheumatoid arthritis that triggered 15 years ago and has left me in constant pain. I'd like that ass to tell me what poor health choices I made to get massive pain spasms coupled with weakening fevers. Pain that is very intense, yet I STILL get off my ass and try to put a full day of work in when RA flares up.
Unlike Rick in the Senate, I show up for a full day of work every day I can for my paycheck. I don't have lobbyist buddies on K Street to stuff my pockets full of bribes in the form of campaign contributions.
Blue Cross REFUSED to cover the IV's I needed to put it in check. The bean counter who denied my claim said I should take Tylenol. Blue Cross denied the appeals. THe prick who handled the appeal told me to "roll with the punches".
Lucky for me, I'm a Federal Employee (JUST LIKE YOU WERE, RICK!) and I could change to Kaiser Permanente which DOES cover those IV's and I got the RA under control.
My girlfriend got pregnant after this nightmare started and she was scared to death that our baby would face the same fate. She made the choice (THE SAME CHOICE YOU AND YOUR WIFE MADE THAT YOU WANT TO DENY EVERYONE ELSE) to abort after testing indicated the child had a birth defect.
Rick Santorum, you're a fake. You're a phony. You're a bigot. You're a repressed sexual pervert. And you're going to get deservedly whacked by the sane people of New Hampshire!
