now we can add ulcers, high blood pressure, and stress/anxiety/depression to the list of illness not covered by our insurance. Maybe they would be happier if we would just die off and stop interfering with their evil goals and greedy agendas once and for all.

I called 17 of the bastards (oops, I mean highly respected government representatives) today alone.

Crying and telling them my personal and true story sometimes gets through to the staffers (the non robot ones).
