Japan’s amazing healthcare system summed up in photo of hospital bill for father’s heart surgery
With or without my health insurance: I rather imagine that my perspective would be somewhere between dying in the street, and thanking god we don’t have debters prisons per se.

How it works ’round here:
Willow: is like me, she doesn’t really care about thunderstorms unless the building starts to shake. But prefers pretzels to peanut butter.
Corky: will seek a comfy spot like under the couch, and all but will shallow the spoon. In fact he gets peanut butter just because of his sad expectant looks. He doesn’t like the pretzels I bribe Willow with.
Misty: tends to be scared of storms, either seeking to hide or be comforted. But still inclined to leap off the couch and trot into the kitchen if it means peanut butter. She loves pretzels, and all things considered food.
Yup. That’s how it is around here, lol.
Not sure if I should view this as a bit crazy or quite awesome, but I’m leaning towards awesome because I grew up dreaming of the computerized future.
In any event, kudos to big blue for making best efforts to keep their people healthy and productive.
While I tend to take an easy going attitude, I have to admit there are days when I feel like Deadpool with only twelve bullets left.
Especially that part at the end.
Some days: you’ve just got to say screw it, and order a pizza.
At least stuffing one’s face with food is still a positive way to end the day. And in my case, since I rarely get pizza anymore, extra deliciousness 😁
