Bitch rolls her eyes and gives me some sort of assistance papers to fill out. I honestly say fuck this corporate, oil grubbing, money hungry, joke of a country. I am tired of old, fat, bald, rich men using/running America to get even richer. Its a travesty and I no longer want a part of this nonsense.
Yeah I can imagine that would be frustrating.

I think that sort of thing is a problem in a lot of places (not necessarily with health care, but other things). You get concessions for things if you are on welfare (eg travel) but if you have a job that is not well-payed, your concession is gone. So you end up not all that much better off for the privilege of working. Doesn't seem right.
