I do not want to "prove" anything, that's what surveys and macro data matching with the results of the elections. The interviews are to see why what happens happens, what people feel about it, how they interpret their actions.

Musical Note On A Friendship Bracelet

The world's most expensive chip

Saturday 10 am. Starbucks. I see a wooden bowl, grabbed it to look better, I have a splinter in his left hand. Bueh, a splinter, it's nothing. Finish my chai latte and go to the supermarket. When I home, I have a swollen left hand, I feel two fingers, and I can not get the alliance. Way to the hospital which is two blocks from home. First I see an administration, I explain that I have a splinter, which will probably have to remove me. Yes, yes, I said, while asking for the card health insurance, my address, phone someone to call in case (guess that goes wrong removing the chip? It's a splinter for god's sake). Just then I see a nurse. The nurse takes my mouth, the pressure, I asked what remedies I am taking, etc.. I ask, "Are you going to remove the speck?" "No, that's what the doctor comes." Displayed a doctor and a medical student. I watch the hand, discuss among themselves what to do. Decide me out the splinter. With a needle, local anesthesia zero. The nurse would have done more than wave. I grit my teeth, close my eyes and I become the brave. I say wait, it will be another doctor to see me. Total professionals dedicated to the chip 5. Today I got the bill: $ 885.

Because the school pays me health insurance, I will not put a penny. But $ 885 is more than half of what I earn per month, post-taxes. I can not believe still discussing whether to include a public option in reforming the health system.
