I can't complain about the freebies. My mom, at 80, has probably had a million bucks plus of care. In two months she had 2 carotid surgeries, two heart caths, two blood clot surgeries, one bovine valve implant, one triple bypass, five local lung surgeries and one pacemaker-defib implant.

All mostly free.

Some SOB at the DMV however thought I was blind because I have lazy eye and their cheap machines could not account for it (every other state knew).

So I had to pay $325 in after tax money for an eye exam so I could drive to work. While I was waiting, the receptionist was on the phone with a medicaid patent who was bitching about a $12 charge for contacts. She thought they should be free as are eyeglasses.

I'm fed up as you can see.

Yes, I see -- and, since you're driving around, I'm glad you can see too! :)
