why am i awake?

you might think it's a silly questions, but considering i don't have to be at work until 11A and it takes me about 20 minutes to get there, i shouldn't be awake yet. but i am. and the reason is... because i need health insurance. my company will offer me (starting march 1) medical and dental for an astronomical out-of-pocket expense, an expense that i wish not to pay! and it doesn't even include vision, which this four-eyed girl needs. so here i am, awake since 8:15, talking to random insurance companies and browsing the good 'ole internet and realizing that i am never going to get affordable healthcare unless i work for a big company like my previous place of employment. (::grunt::)

this makes me sad. it also makes me realize why everybody is always futzing over the idea that "healthcare is a right, not a privilege," and they are right! i don't really have much more to say about this, just kind of venting...

if anybody can help a girl out, please let me know. thanks much in advance!
