So I’m watching CNN this morning. They have this new segment called “Issue #1″ all about the shitty economy and the upcoming election.
Now I know that we are in that time period 6 months before an election where even the real issues begin to be tweaked into bizzare fake concerns, but here is one that really tied my panties.
While discussing the current concerns with healthcare, the host Gerri Willis asked her panelist “Why does Generation X care about healthcare?” My ears perked up because I swing between having no healthcare and having shitty healthcare. Her panelist explained that 1) GenX is busy spending money on our clothes and cars and 2) the process is confusing enough that we’d rather leave it to our employers.
Thats when my brain fell out of my asshole. Now had they been discussing 17 year olds working at Dunkin Donuts, I could by this. But GenX? Thats me!
I wrote CNN to remind them that GenXers are now in our 30’s! I have been struggling with finding available healthcare for a decade now. Apparently its not that the choices suck, or that for profit healthcare is a crooked system. Its just that I’m too dumb and obsessed with my clothes to handle it.
Good to know.
