When the cashier told me the total for my CVS purchase, I was a little stunned to see that my prescription was free. She hunkered down and whispered, "Birth control is free now." Boy, did she get the look from me. I replied (in a not-so whispering voice)..."Honey, don't be fooled. I just paid up the gazoo for this prescription to be free because now I'm paying for everyone's birth control who doesn't have a job." She just laughed and said, "Ahh, well I know what side you're on."
Sides...that's what we've come to. How in the world is this country going to move forward if all we are is a billion people choosing one side of the gym like an elementary PE class?
I'm a bit riled up from my CVS visit, as you see...but honestly...I'm in awe over this divide between our people. We are split into two groups--those who serve and those who want to be served. I don't expect my federal government to use hard-earned tax dollars to pay for my prescription. I choose to be on that pill, and it's my responsibility to find a way to pay for it. Why in the world, would it even cross my mind to expect them to pay? It's a complete conundrum to me.
So, now I have a prescription that's probably worth more now than it ever was before sitting on my counter, reminding me that our country is heading for some trouble. Fun times...
