one of these things doesn't belong


an apple a day

i'm considering dropping all together this scam called health insurance.  
to date, i have paid thousands and thousands of dollars to them.
deductibles.  copays.  premiums.  in network.  out of network.  out of pocket.

it's under consideration
i'm taking it under advisement

i recently went for my annual.
and i thought that it might be the closest thing to confession that i ever experience.
it was strangely cathartic and comforting.

good healthcare is often worth paying for.
in my life i've had a series of amazing female practitioners who have kicked all kinds of medical schwag my way

free vaccinations
free pharmaceutical samples 
free equipment
free pregnancy tests
 free phone consultations to avoid office visit fees

and one day i do hope to repay that.  
pay it forward
whatever.
but somehow, paying monthly fees to giant health insurance companies doesn't add up.
