Get A Job, You Lazy F*ck!

Call me crazy, but less nurses means less care. Less care means more patients dying. More patients dying means more lawsuits. More lawsuits mean even less nurses. Do you see the pattern?!

So with all of this talk about House Bill 1 in Louisiana, I wonder what the hell our elected officials are thinking!!!

I have had a job for as long as I can remember. I was so young, I had to go to the school board office and get a work permit for every job. And try as they may, I did not take my break every few hours as regulated by the powers that be. I pay my taxes to the state and federal governments regularly...and actually overpay every year. I even pay for renter's insurance, which I know many people think is just a waste of money. I go to work when I'm scheduled. I show up early and stay late. I pay for my own health insurance. While at a part-time gig, I actually paid $489 every month to COBRA to keep my coverage. This is because when I applied for temporary state assistance, I was denied. DENIED!!! Are you freaking kidding me??? I fell within every requirement but was blatantly told that in order to get Medicaid, I "had to be black or have children." I do what a decent human being does and I only requested 6 months of coverage so that I could stay in nursing school, finish my semester and graduate. [It is law that you have some type of coverage, and understandably so.] I am bettering myself instead of sitting on my couch living off of WIC coupons and Welfare.

So, while thinking of HB1, I came up with a fabulous idea:

Instead of cutting Medicare, lets stop giving free health care to the people taking advantage of the system. I understand some people require Medicaid, but that's not what I'm talking about.

**If you can work, choose not to and are okay with letting everyone know that you're only having more kids to get more money from the government, you're a lazy f*ck! Because of thousands of people like you, many health care professionals including myself may be out of a job. That means when you come to the hospital, there won't be someone waiting on you hand and foot while you take your "vacation" from your kids as you state on every admission. F*ck you, get a job, and get your freaking tubes tied while you're at it!**
