Did you know that NONE of the major hospitals* in Seattle [Swedish Hospital, University of Washington Medical Center, Providence Hospital, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, Veterans Medical Center] are in-network on the plans offered on the Exchange? I read this and couldn't believe it, so I actually did some fact checking myself. I didn't check every ( Read more... )

Stupid fucking piece of shit.

Tonight we took the car to dinner. Put the top down to drive home. Got home, and it won't go up again.
