Health care horror story #13848732

Curlcoat, I’m still not clear on the concept…did you actually eat the napkins or not?

She’s refusing to answer. Probably because she made it up, just like everything else.

PC:* Napkin sandwiches.

*Posted containing.

Well if this isn’t the pot organizing a lynch mob for the kettle, I don’t know what is.

There’s a movie called Run, Ronnie, Run that has a funny scene where there’s a very stupid man (Ronnie) and he’s being chased by the police while carrying a chicken. At one point, the police have him cornered in a vacant lot, and when one of the cops shouts “drop the chicken, Ronnie,” he shouts back, “you drop the chicken.” It’s funny how when I point out that you’re trying to change the subject off of one idiotic statement you made that I keep repeatedly bringing up (note: consistent subject), that you immediately turn around and tell me I’m changing the subject. You are not to be reasoned with.

I am now officially embarrassed to have ever seriously engaged you. And suddenly I see your value: you are a public service troll-relations training program.

I’m pretty sure they’re not going to pay for healthcare by taxing your savings, genius.

The most thoroughly annoying part of this whole thread is that it was started to Pit the idea that someone who had insurance in place was denied coverage for something that was supposedly covered by said insurance, then was hijacked by curlcoat for the Nth reiteration of her protest against people who fail to provide for every contingency that might befall them themselves without government help – precisely what the OP reasonably believe him/herself to have done. (And this is coming from a woman who is living in part off the government dole – which she alleges she ;earned’ by paying taxes (unlike all the people who bought insurance and who also paid taxes.

See, you don’t understand, all those other people are useless deadbeats. She is special. Yes, it never seems to occur to her that many people on government assistance either have paid taxes in, or will pay taxes in the future, and probably a lot more than she ever has.

And she persists in saying that her past doesn’t matter - even though it seems she prepared for nothing - but she still blames other people for everything that they have ever done, and for not forseeing every possible scenario.

Very annoying indeed.

And unless the democrats stop rolling over and playing dead, the OP’s scenario will play itself out over and over and over again. People will continue to die and go bankrupt and lose their homes to safeguard their health. Why is this an acceptable state of affairs for anybody??? I just don’t get it.

Bring back the public option!!

It’s also interesting how she now says that if she had had any hardships while she was eating napkin sandwiches, that she would have crawled back home to her parents. That’s that die-hard self-sufficiency she’s known for.

Took a several-day break from this thread to bleach my brain. Checked back in and read this entire page.

Still all curlcoat, all insanity, all the time. Not even **Polycarp **can succeed in dragging the OP back to the center of attention.

No serious discussion to see here, I’ll just move along again…

We DID get an update that the baby mentioned in the OP got surgery and is now at home, recovering.

Thought maybe you missed it. What with the curly circus and all.

What Broomstick said. I’d agree with you whole-heartedly, Poly, about the annoyance factor, except that I deployed my secret weapon several pages ago .

I lowered my expectations to where I no longer view this as anything more than a point-and-laugh session. I’m not even bothering to do more than scan anything curlcoat posts in it.

P.S. Westley Clark, I hope things have stabilized financially for your FOAFs. Please convey my best wishes for them, should you get an opportunity.

What’s all this about napkin sandwiches, then?

Here.

Basically, she and her friends would steal condiments and napkins from a burger joint and make sandwiches out of them, rather than seek public assistance.

Or rather than buying food, instead of spending her money on car payments and partying on Fridays and Saturdays.

I still want to know if she actually ate the napkin! This crucial detail makes all the difference!

Actually, unlike most people in this country, we live on a budget, not on credit. Besides, as I said before that sapphire card is gone.

I don’t know why you would think so. When I discuss this subject, and others, with people IRL my opinions and observations are taken as seriously as the next man’s.

I have stayed on subject all the way thru this exchange, that subject being that you chose to interpret something I said incorrectly and in the worst possible way.

Of course, I never said anything like that but thanks for once again proving you cannot (or will not?) stop turning my posts into something they obviously aren’t.

Bullshit. Go back and read post #68, my first post in this thread. It contained nothing about that stuff.

I’m pretty sure they are just doing that ‘smile and nod’ thing that the rest of us do when confronted with seriously crazy people. Then they go home and have a good laugh, just like us.

What, you didn’t know about that?

This would be other well-to-do show-dog owners and the like? Or are you civil and willing to acknowledge the points of others IRL, as opposed to your qyuasi-trollish behavior here?

Contrary to your apparent opinion, that was not the topic of this thread – until you came along and hijacked it. It was about insurance companies looking for reasons to deny payments to their insureds, with a particular example given in the OP.

Bullshit right back atcha! Your initial post contained a paragraph or two of apologetic for thie insurance company – making a valid point about expectations of breadth of coverage, by the way – and then a rant about people who have “baybees” and expect everyone else to pay for it.

Check this out, troll: The OP described a couple with inusrance covering childbirth and newborn care who had problems getting approval for needed care for what turned out to be a special-needs child. Insurance they paid for, which presumably (from the information given) should have paid for the needed care.

And eveyrthing since then has been your rant about how people expect the gummint/others to pay for everything instead of taking care of themselves, and in particular how you and your husband will be negatively impacted financially by this. Even though you are on Federal disability income, you hypocritical bitch!

I’m half worried the people IRL who “agree with her and take her seriously” might be chained up in her cellar.

And have been dead for 20 years.

Well that doesn’t matter, you know. In curlcoat’s world, they’re selfish people simply because the insurance company had to pay for their childbirth. That cost is spread over many people, you know, some of which don’t even have kids! Selfish, selfish bastards!

Whoaaaa. Hold up here.

“…as seriously as the next man’s.”

The next man’s. The next man’s.

What the hell is going on here MR. Curlcoat?

When was the last time anyone heard a woman say that her opinions were taken as seriously as the next man’s?

And please confirm… Did you actually EAT the napkin?
