Fuck these midterm elections.

Every time I thought it couldn't get worse, it did. Now all of my life, except for Bill Nelson and Barack Obama, are controlled by Republicans. The only silver lining is that the Pro-Environment Amendment passed and everything was SUPER close so Florida has more progressives than they give us credit for, but...

Fuck.

Frodo : I can't do this, Sam.

Sam : I know.
It's all wrong
By rights we shouldn't even be here.
But we are.
It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo.
The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were,
and sometimes you didn't want to know the end.
Because how could the end be happy.
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened.
But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something.
Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.
I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.
Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo : What are we holding on to, Sam?

Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

I see what you're saying and I understand what you're saying. I'm an America, who is now back in America. Also I'm currently one of the many uninsured because I can't afford a $500 a month premium for a basic health plan that in turn will provide me with a $3000 deductible that I'll never meet because I'm generally not a sick person.

As for the dental, dental is not covered under the ACA and never will be, unless you can get an oral surgery coded as a major medical procedure which is rare.

Also mental health is covered, depends on the plan and insurance company. Otherwise, my inbalanced sister would not be able to afford her meds or her therapists, and she works retail.

I'm glad for sister, but outside of someone who's had it diagnosed as an actual disability, I don't know anyone who has it covered in their health insurance.

Then again, I also work retail and have almost given up on ever having health insurance again.
