My friend is 42 and works at Jack in the Box. At least she is a manager, but she still relies on the government for health insurance--and she was diagnosed with cancer yesterday.

She has been on morphine and still complaining of pain, but she says she needs to go home, get back to work, and pay her bills.
"Are you going to apply for disability?"
"No."
"Are you going to try to get a nurse to visit?"
"No."

This reminds me of all of my classmates who didn't pay attention and insisted they would be fine after graduation--or people studying anything else with poor job prospects.

It just sounds like wishful thinking.

Some people suggest that D.C. should only consist of government buildings and the rest should return to Maryland, so that residents can finally vote for their neighbor, the president.
