We're not blinded by the idea of celebrity OR health reform making everything better instantly, We in fact WERE listening and we ARE facing this problem: we're coming out into a job market who's only steady things are that's it been crumbling, there's little to no job security, and we're probably just going to get pulled from our parent's plans- if our parents even have them- right as we're taking a job that won't have any coverage for us (entry level, part time, etc- we're considered lucky to get anything). I know I'm going to be lucky to get a job at all. So I'm going into this with no security if I get sick and I'm already paying hundreds of dollars back in student loans- and that's just the federal loans! Maybe I don't want even more of my coveted paycheck towards a government health system. As a naive young person waiting for my "rude awakening", do you think I'd take my chances with not getting sick? Do you think I have anyone to blame the current system on but YOU and YOUR generation? DO you realize we're fighting this fight because you didn't, and we're not happy with the outcome?<br /><br /><br />Okay I didn't get that angry and accusatory at the end, I mostly stuck with pointing out that we aren't representative of his generalization (and similar thoughts as I know he's not alone in this opinion).<br />but I am also wondering if they won't put it up because it might sound too much like we're objecting to him personally.<br />-sigh-<br /><br />-ClaudiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
