RESPONSE:
This seems 2 be destroying you & causing you too much stress than its worth & it breaks my heart 2 hear that from you. I have just as many reasons I believe my way as people do on the other side - that doesnt make either one of us stupid, idiots or ignorant - we are all soo different & gone through so many dif’t things in life that have affected what we believe that there is NO way we could all believe the same thing ALL the time & if we did that would be creepy & it wouldnt be a democracy and we don’t want to turn into “A Brave New World”. Just like some people can't wait 2 get married because thats been their entire life dream but others are adamantly opposed 2 EVER getting married period or ever having kids period- we all have different beliefs on ALOT of things and we have the right to believe in any of those and to feel safe for having those beliefs.
I know I keep saying that but I just want you 2 know you arent the only one feeling that way - the only things I have seen posted recently is how big of an idiot I am for my beliefs & that really, really, really hurts because I am not an idiot, I have the right 2 make informed decisions on my own as does everyone. So when people quit posting those types of articles I think things & people can get back 2 normal & not feel soo horribly persecuted on both sides.
In the past year of having 2 tell hundreds of people that their specialty meds werent covered because of preexisting cond’s, esp cancer patients - it broke my heart & made me want 2 yell at them 2 NOT put anything under the listing of previous illness or previous meds on their application because they had 2 wait a year till they could get those paid for. When you are talking over $5000/mo for a second line breast cancer med because its metastasized 2 her spine & they have 2 pay for that for the 1st year on top of the numerous meds she has 2 take - IT KILLED ME. It made me feel like I was killing her myself because who can afford that on their own yet she will die if she doesnt get that med. So for that change I am very grateful!
Hell I've been fighting my short term disability since OCTOBER for so many reasons for denial & now its preexisting conditions when it has nothing 2 do with anything previous & their first denial was for work comp... so there are alot of things I am REALLY excited about in this change. I love the fact that Obama lowered my COBRA payments or we wouldnt survive right now while I am looking for a job because I have a lot of Drs and a lot of meds so I couldn’t not keep my COBRA.
But me, myself, will never be able 2 believe that the government taking over more things is better. The more govt takes over the less decisions we have as Americans – but that’s what I believe & I would hate for people 2 keep giving in & support the government 2 pay for this or that & before we know it they are deciding most of our lives – that’s my one irk about it. 2 me we are supposed 2 be free & hate 2 have anything that limits our choice in any way. But this is my belief because of who I am & what I have gone through, who I’ve known, whom I’ve met, things I have seen, my education & upbringing.
After living in Mexico & seeing how much the government controls everything there – having the government have any more control here just plain scares me… but those are all things that have formed my opinion. Just like your life has affected your beliefs & neither of us is wrong or right – we just have that right 2 belief what we want & my beliefs are changing everyday the more I live life, & I will get upset when I strongly believe something because there are many things I do believe strongly in. But I am not in gov’t & cant make those decisions, all I can do is vote & let my legislators know what I believe. So when things pass I disagree on I get upset but realize I have 2 deal with whatever is coming my way whether I like it or not. I may think how can anybody believe in this, but then I realize how can there not be we are a FREE country, period! *end of novel* :-)
