When Barack Obama promised “Change” back in 2008, he obviously wasn’t taking into account the one thing that will never change: 18-34 year olds never being satisfied with anything, ever.
Never has this been more prevalent than it is now with Obamacare, the President’s foolish plan for the government to offer universal healthcare to anyone who wants it. Yeah, we totally have to get the government involved in everything so they can do the bang-up job that the government always does whenever they take something over. If there’s one thing America needs, it’s for hospitals to start operating like your county tax office or the DMV.
Then came the Harvard poll that showed 57% of millennials (Those born from 1983-2000) currently disapprove of Obama’s signature law. In fact, one third of 18-29 year olds without medical coverage say that they would not enroll. So what would they rather sign up for?

What do I love? I love happy hour, a good golf tan, and getting moderately drunk during dinner.

I’m irate at this health plan. Obama is making young people, aka the generation hurt most by the recession, pay into the system because he needs healthy payers to subsidize aging baby boomers’ viagra and other such nonsense. This is garbage. Bring on the death spiral.
Let me say I work in HR and I’m training to do a lot of our work related to health insurance. I thought oh your moving up in the world. Look at you getting a bump in your pay and a higher title. Wrong. I know why the person went back to get another Graduate degree full time.
I literally get phone calls and emails all day now bitching about how people don’t want the coverage for all the stuff that is required. I get freaking 100 emails a day asking why they think I should piece meal them together a plan and its not the young people bitching about it. It’s freaking Bob from some far off office in Idaho bitching about it. Some 71year old manager in the office is so pissed we cover birth control, that they has even stopped by my office and I’ve had to explain to him 3x that its way less expensive to pay for birth control than it is to pay for a pregnancy and then having another dependent on the plan. Then he tells me it is absurd we cover pregnancy and he doesn’t want his money going to it. All I can think is Jesus old man, the company pays for most of your plan, and I’d rather not have any of my money going towards erectile disfunction but you don’t hear me complaining, and its people like you who take the middle management jobs and don’t retire that are fucking up the younger employees. Whatever you lost in the recession from your 401k is back. You should have plenty to retire on now. It’s getting so hard to just smile and nod.
I’m too afraid to send a survey out asking how happy people are with the policy, because I know it will bring a ressurgence of hatred and bitterness, so I am hoping to send it out when people are off for the holidays. Just fill out a quick survey and then forget about it.
Obama: won over the minority to screw over the majority.
Bravo
Yeah, I tried going to CrustyOldBabes.com. So what?

Short of AIDS, there is Obamacare.
