Would You Like a Dounut to Go Along With That Obamacare?
Nobody Flashes
Obamacare is changing things FAST: For instance, I went to my regular doctor last week, and found out, that he no longer wants to push me off on specialists…NO…he wants to take over all their jobs! Weird, I thought. The last time I was here he was complaining about having to refill a few prescriptions that I had gotten from “specialists” because my “specialists” had resigned, due to Obamacare. So, I went out and found more “specialists.” You’d think he would have been happy.
But now, the good doctor was willing to keep me from having to travel all over town going to different ‘specialists.’ To that I said, “Well, I thought you were just a general practitioner and If I came to you, you would just push me off to another specialist.” Â That’s what he has always done. I began to wonder if all these “specialists” were giving him kickbacks on every referral.
“Hey, I’ve been a doctor for over 15 years!” Â he said as he ran to his trusty computer and started typing out my “special” prescriptions.
And then we got to the— “You need a blood test so I can fill your prescriptions.” part.
Okay I said, I’ll go to the same place I always go— Quest Labs. They are all over the city, and before Obamacare, you could call them up and make an appointment. In and out. Piece of cake.
Well, I found out yesterday that those days are GONE. The good nurses at the lab will NOT be answering the phone. Nope. Obamacare has taken that luxury out of the equation.
You want an appointment, you have to make one on the computer (good luck with that) or just come in and sit and wait your turn. Just like in good old India.
Find a seat, and HOPE you get in. And good luck, if you have to fast eight hours before that test, which I do.
Something tells me, the sight of a donut at the Quest lab might cause a riot.
So, if you need some extra cash, you might want to set up a donut stand right outside your local medical lab, before they outlaw donuts.
And just think: Obama could say he was creating jobs.
Don’t you just LOVE turning into a third world country?

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.

PS. Matercard is the new, improved single-mother credit card. You will know it when you see it. It has a picture of Octomum on it.

Better than a donut stand would be a witch-doctor setting up. There’s probably a paragraph or three in the ObamaCareoTome about black identity and respecting and celebrating diversity and the heritage of other cultures. The presence of a finely dressed Juju-Man – or JuJu Woman, (of course) – with feathers and bones through the nose (aided by much use of cocaine) next door or on the pavement – sidewalk to you- would sharpen up the service delivery of the pathologists and please the Conservatives who want competition.
The current ‘problems’ with the Government’s website is very likely to do with just how one can pay for the Insurance with chickens. PayPal won’t accept chickens. Mastercare, whoops, Matercard says it is not just Priceless but wants to charge extra eggs with every transaction, just to cover the extra costs you understand. Obama promises that the extra will not exceed a standard dozen but it is going to leave egg on his face again. Watch this space.
