They did do a successful surgery, providing continuing employment to the collections department, bankruptcy attorneys, and whoever at Cook's refigures their schedule of charges. At least this did not take place at the county hospital, so my property tax will not be affected this time. At the county hospital, of course, a large proportion of the births do constitute pre-existing conditions, since many employers in these parts don't offer any kind of insurance that workers making near minimum wage can afford (unions - what unions?), and then there is the issue of whether parents are insured, when they are often not married.

Got Theater of the Absurd Part 12,389,404? -vbg- "It turns out that Mike Vanderboegh, enjoying his 15 minutes of fame as the former militiaman and current "Christian libertarian" and wingnut with a blog who has been urging people to break windows to stop the "Intolerable Act" that is health care reform; the guy who warns of "thousands of small Wacos" unless we throw bricks through the windows of "this arrogant elite" who seek "control over our liberty, our money, our property and our lives" - it turns out he lives on government disability checks from that aforementioned arrogant elite. Oh, irony." from commondreams.org
