Hello Shooter,

You are certainly free to interpret things as you see fit.

But your leap of logic has, IMHO, no relation to the intent behind the tweet. It says more about how you think about things than how the tweeter thinks.

Actually, it says the tweeter doesn't think much all. A two year old thinks the same thing every time someone else gets something they want. Both want to be in charge of redistribution.

So, you actually believe the rich got there all by themselves. Poof, now that's magical thinking. Why aren't you outside playing on your yacht then instead of trying to pick fights? If you think that poor people are jealous of the greedy you are sadly mistaken, they are just trying to find some food to give to their children and they are upset because in order to do this they have to have a job ,and the rich have taken them all away with them and traded their jobs for some more houses or yachts. They even started collecting houses that didn't belong to them. Who could be jealous of greedy people who think like you do? I feel sorry for them because how are they supposed to fit all their stuff in their graves with them. Less is more. And the meek shall inherit the earth because they are the only ones who will take care of it.

Look, I get it. Your life is hard, their life isn't. You have to worry about survival and they don't. Most of all it isn't fair, why does he get a pass and I don't?

Am I right? Consider that somewhere in East Africa, someone else is thinking the exact same thing about you. Life isn't fair, and an accident of birth can't be reversed.

Meanwhile, people here get free education, free food, free cell phones, rent subsidies, transportation subsidies, free medical, and best of all, free money. So, if the East African with a mud hut and cooking fire were to demand you explain your good fortune, what would you say?

I still think paying $2000.00 to cure a headache is ridiculous and that's about the minimum you pay if you go to the ER. Something wrong with that picture, huh?

Something wrong with that picture

Indeed, Angel, there is something wrong with that picture, and it's part of what the Affordable Care Act is intended to remedy. Not an ideal solution, IMO - I'd prefer Medicare Part E for Everybody, but it was the best idea going that still kept the private insurance industry involved (and could thus garner just enough political support to pass).

Hopefully, as more and more of the provisions of the ACA are implemented, you'll be able to obtain coverage for, well, Affordable Care, and not have to go to an ER for a headache. Be well...

As someone who suffers frequent migraines, I can attest to the constant rising costs. Where one of my migraines got so bad it lead to a PVC anxiety attack that raised my blood pressure and heart rate to at-risk levels. Insurance wouldn't cover some of the costs since the closest hospital was "out-of-network", and the ambulance was also "out-of-network", so "out of pocket" was over $6,500.

It's a life-changing moment when your doctor asks you, "Can you afford to die?", and you actually pause to think about it.
