My warped sense of reality...

If you are a doctor or insurance man, please turn away and do not read this!

I hate doctors and insurance! No other way to say it, I just despise these two careers. They gouge us financially because they can and really for no other reason. 3stitches in my foot cost me over $1000 a few years back; next time, I would rather stitch up myself! I had no insurance at the time so it was cash out of my pocket.

Now this is where my warped sense of reality comes in to play. Besides the fact that I hate going to see doctors for any reason, I usually will not go for the simple fact that the insurance I have now is pretty good and not very expensive. Why should I put another company through the financial responsibility when they have a reasonable price on a program. I do not want to go just for the sake of going. Because of life changes, I added my wife to my health insurance policy and my rate went up dramatically (I knew this was going to happen and was expected).

Now that I am being charged so much extra money a month, I want to go just for the sake of going! Is that twisted or what? I know we need preventative maintenance and all that jazz each year but now that you are taking so much extra from my personal well being, lets going ahead and get the premium package!

For me, a lower rate means more conscientious decision making about my health. A higher rate means lets go for the gold and let everyone else suffer the effects! Right now, I could go for an eye exam, dentist visit, heart specialist, nutritionist, dermatologist, orthopedic, podiatrist. While we are at it, lets throw in a couple of other medical specialists just for kicks and giggles!
I think I need a tune up, I need a complete and total rebuild on my engine!
