Today, I re-dislocated my arm trying to get it out of the cast it was in because I didn't want to pay the $50 dollar fee to get it taken off. FML

Today, I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. I went into hospital to get it put in a cast, but still went into school afterwards. I got written up for truancy because I didn't have a doctor's note. The cast was still on my arm. FML
Today, I finally got the cast off my leg after being unable to walk for 6 weeks, watching daytime TV or playing my husband's Xbox all day. The second the plaster came off, I tried to stand up, tripped over the doctor's foot and broke the apparently still not fully healed leg again in the same spot. FML
Today, I went to the hospital to get a cast that I have been wearing for the past three months removed from my wrist. Thanks to said cast, I couldn't have any summer fun at all. The doctor took a final X-ray and said, "Well look at that, your wrist wasn't fractured to begin with." FML
Today, I dislocated my shoulder doing a really big stretch when I woke up. After the doctor relocated it, my dad told me I still had to do my chores. No excuses. FML
Today, my doctor called and asked me when I could have my broken hand x-rayed again. I said the ER staff had told me it was a bad sprain over two weeks ago. I'm now in a full cast, and have to have my partially healed bones re-broken. There goes my summer. FML
Today, I sprained an arm muscle while pretending to lift weights. FML
Today, I came out from the E.R. with an arm cast and stitches on my head, all because a cyclist ran me over on a pedestrian walkway and got away. FML
Today, I was laying on the couch with a cast on my broken ankle. My brother thought it would be funny to shoot my cast with a high-powered pellet gun. It went straight through the cast and now I need to go back to the hospital. FML
Today, a nurse berated me for not being able to lift my leg myself so she could put a cast on. My leg is broken in two places. FML
Today, I had to cut short my New Year's resolution of going to the gym daily, when the meathead next to me dropped some heavy weights, which bounced and landed on my foot. I'm sitting at home in a cast. FML

Of course in the UK all your treatment would have been free...because we're in the 21st century and have a healthcare system. In fact I'm getting treatment on thursday at no cost and I've only waited 2 weeks from booking it to getting it - regardless of the rubbish your right wing media has been spreading about the NHS. Oh, and I have health insurance too :p

You're an idiot.

Oh yeah. A plan that FORCES you to get and pay for health insurance whether you want it/can afford it or not. That doesn't go against free will at all. Yay! A plan that makes private insurance illegal! Yay! A plan for healthcare that will be just as effective as the USPS (Obama's comparison BTW) and DMV! Awesome! More taxes on an already overtaxed country, while we're in a recession! Of course we should punish the people being prosperous and productive and successful! Anyone that believes that is pure disgusting. If people didn't have so much TAXES we'd be able to spend our money as we please, therefore stimulating the economy. America is quickly becoming a parent government simply because so many people don't want to grow up and be responsible for THEMSELVES! These people WANT be taken care of like children, rather than adults. Consequences come for every action, and the more you put it off the more you will suffer. Within four years I'm totally doing the "I told you so" dance for every idiot that supports Obama. Ha.

It sucks that you have to pay $50 for someone to stick a metal rod in and buzz saw it off. I do enjoy my universal healthcare. That's just my opinion. I don't need facts or a debate, it's what I like. End of discussion.

Its a shame so many americans are afraid of free universal care. Its the powerful, rich, businessmen and politicians who are making money out of making you pay for insurance, then making you pay for treatment or infact, denying you treatment. These are the same people who are generating fear and rumours that universal healthcare is "Socialist/Communist" when all industrialised countries have universal care other than the USA. Also that Universal care will be more expensive and not as good as your care. Fundimentally, the care they would have to provide would need to be just as good as the care before, if not better inorder to make the change a success. In the USA the most money is put into the system and the least money is returned to the public than in any other country. You can call in the morning and see a doctor in the afternoon. I feel that the goverment is MEANT to look after me. I am a student and also only 19 so i get free dental, free optomity and any free perscriptions, also all forms of contriception are free. Also if i wanted surgery such as a breast reduction because of back pain i could recieve it Universal care is not perfect but its damn amazing for saying you dont have to pay on the spot. even if you do pay in tax. Youll be looked after if you get ill and lose your job, when youre old, and if you become poor. Before being scared of care watch sicko the michael moore documentary, remember it is satire as well. but really obama is not trying to **** you over. how could you not want this gift?
