We are officially screwed

[preferredduck]

I got beat up by about 15 black people in 1992 after the Rodney King police acquittal was announced the night before, I was in the 7th grade and the school contacted all of the white student's parent's and told them to pick up their children because they have no chance of containing the violence. I was beaten with a gym lock curled up in a fist and used as brass knuckles. My face looked like I was run over by a car, it was the same day the riots broke out in L.A. and I was not the only one, I was just the first of about 20 throughout the day to get their asses whipped up and down those middle school hallways.

This was Miller Grove Jr. High by the way if anyone is curious

They actually sent only the white children home right here in Stone Mountain (although in my school there were only about 50 of us with a school population of about 1500) and I didn't get my news story either. I even had a private trial at the DeKalb County School Board in an attempt for me to try to identify my attackers. I didn't recognize any of them (not because all black people look the same LOL!) but because I was knocked out and I only remembered waking up in some other room.

I barely even had any conception of "race" until after that day

it's called media bias, it happens all the time sadly. example i was in a car accident a few years ago and now have a pinched nerve in my neck and several spots in my back. i have lost all forms f insurance and even a couple of jobs from it and it one of the jobs there was a racial slur said that sped up the firing process. i cannot get help, insurance, an attorney touch the company even though it's all recorded since it's a call center and even when we were not on the phone we were recorded and the manager quit a week later. i have tried temp medicaid to be denied and the non english speaking person behind me gets every benefit at age 18 really pissed me of. so what am i going to do about the new fines now, i guess i'll go to jail when the IRS shows up. i don't complain much but i am tired of my neck/head/back hurting 24/7. hell my girls suffer the most because some days i'm pretty useless from it. this is a situation i have not seen any insight into on healthcare reform.

That really fucking sucks...and I really am not picking on you and it sounds like your having a hard time right now. But that post was kind of hard for me to read, it seems kind of fragmented and confusing.

But from the gist I got, won't you be able to get medical insurance soon since according to the new law they cannot say no "due to a pre-existing" condition? And I am not exactly sure on the details but there is noway congress will not include some kind of "stop-loss" plan for those that are unemployed to still be covered under some kind of insurance.

I am still unclear of their plans for the unemployed myself under the new law

(edit) an article from newsweek explaining it, and it seems people in your situation is what it is designed for!

me either and that worries me since my last job i was the first to go since i have neck problems so we will see there. if they fine me i guess i'll give them the finger. even when i had insurance i could not get proper treatment it was here have another pill instead of let's try to fix the problem. i was pretty close to getting trigger point injections when i lost my insurance and job yet again. i never had this problem until after being in a car accident and this happened. when in the call center i handled the VIP accounts even from other managers so i was good at what i did but with my history they said hell no. i can't even go to my favorite place anymore, sanford stadium to watch football games and that really sucks since i had season tickets for 4 years and just can't go anymore unless i can park at the stadium near my seat, if not i'm gonna have a bad time, just ask the guy i threw up on at the central michigan game back in 08. he was pissed until he realized i wasn't drunk and could barely walk from hurting so bad.

also news flash, if this health care plan is so good why are no members of the gov't included, they are all exempt and i would love to go to a meeting with obama there and ask why he and is kids won't get on his own healthcare plan, is he too good for it or what. i think when most people learn of this they will be really pissed off and felt pissed on.
