Yup, my dad's a disabled vet, so my health insurance has always been through TriCare. They've always paid for my doctor visits, and they paid for my dad's leg surgery and any problems he has with his back. I've never had to worry too much about my health.

Except next summer, when I'll no longer be my parents' dependent, and I'll have to find some other way to pay for my health insurance. Joy.

Yeah. Next time this topic comes up, I'm actually going to ask mom and dad if they're willing to give up their healthcare to help free the United States of socialism. Of course, their premiums would skyrocket thanks to mom's diabetes and dad's high blood pressure, but they would be walking the walk instead of just talking about it.

Me? I have absolutely no problem what-so-ever with socialism, so.

People who use the "Socialism is not American!" argument piss me off. Do they live under a fucking rock? Jeezus.

THANK-YOU; I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE THIS. I've had free/reduced healthcare since I was born because of my dad being in the military. Thanks, G.I. Bill!

I was only allowed to get it up until I was 21, though. After that, I had to be in school and get a paper from my college saying I was in school. Then it's only up until you're...23? 25? somewhere around there. I can get it now, but I don't get sick enough to use it. It makes my mom upset, but eh.

Oh, I wish they would too. Let the Republicans and 'limited government' idiots attempt to swallow it.

Honestly, if I had to guess, the Republicans are hoping and praying the liberals won't mention it, and the liberals are terrified that they'd be implying members of the military don't deserve health insurance.

When my mom was in the army, I could go to the dentist. It was covered! Ear infections? Broken bone? The flu? All was good. Now that I'm out in the world as an adult, I can't afford health care at all. I do not approve.

Threadjacking to say l- lol this. I've only been 21 for a few months now, but I actually want to go to the doctor for a few things now but... can't, 'cause no health insurance. Yaaay life.
