By it, I mean the changes and frustrations of the new healthcare bill. My employer actually is its own insurer, and recently wanted to create a new preventive wellness program for us employees. Basically, we were going to get $400 a year to use on various preventive procedures (one of them being adult vaccinations). However, for some reasons pertaining to the new healthcare law, they couldn't start this program. I think it had something to with the fact that there was a cap or something. I'm not actually sure. Anyway, I'm going out of the country in a little over a month, and I was going to get some recommended vaccinations, but I found out today from my doctor that two would cost $300 and I still need anti-malaria pills on top of that (and insurance won't cover those either). Maybe it is just me, but that seems a little steep seeing as how I still have to pay my copay to see my doc. I could go to the health center, but let's just say that I might get what I'm trying to prevent just by going there. It terrifies me more! Anyway, in a world with a broken economy and healthcare costs rising, doesn't it seem strange that instead of helping me pay to prevent Hep A or B or malaria, they would rather risk me get it and then have to pay to treat me later (which will cost much more!) I know it is all a risk game, but today it frustrates me.
Oh Facebook and social media of all kinds...we have a love hate/relationship. Lately, these days, I feel it is more hate only because I allow myself to be depressed by things I see. I recently told someone the other day that I had lost faith in humanity, and then it hit me, that is exactly where I should be. We are a fallen people in a fallen world, and I should have NO faith in humanity. Why did that take me 30 years to figure out? So there has been a lot of political/social stuff swirling around, and division among Christians, and I hate it. Like I said, I have no faith in humanity and realizing that was a good reminder it should ALL be in the Lord. Even though there are definitely things going on in this world that reject the truth of the Gospel, Jesus, the thing that scares me the most these days is the phrase I alluded to in the title: "my Jesus wouldn't believe this" or "I can't follow a God that would say that" or "I just don't believ...
