Working at a hospital and seeing all the people that get treated under free care, has given me a lot of ideas. It is amazing to see the amount of homeless who can afford to get totally passed out drunk, then get a ride to the ER in a $500 to $900 ambulance ride, then stay for a $1200 visit with free food, medication, consult, etc. The best part is when they leave and show up within 2 hrs to start over. Now multiply this by 7 days a week 52 weeks a year for one person. My other favorite is all the addicts who show up with a toothache or stomach pain and ask for percs. Get some and leave and then show up again the next day.

Go Ugly Early

Government spends all of our tax dollars plus more that they can get away with.

I see that too whenever, infrequently, I need services, I pay 150 bucks to get in the door, the above are serviced before me and pay nothing, get everything they need. This makes me upset
