The comic:


Ha ha, their names are like body parts, it's so funny! Don't you agree?

And damn they are lucky. Tricare sucks beyond all suckitude, but I have to suck it up because I have insurance. For the time being. God, I hate this country sometimes. If you're on vacation and get sick, depending on your insurer, you are SOL.

But because they're businesses, well it's okay not to insure me (even though, hypothetically, I have money) because I'd cost them money.

Yeah, I'm getting pretty damn socialist in my college years. Get over it, and start your own conservative blog mocking Pluggers.

Of course, part of it is total selfishness - not "I got mine Jack, screw you" but "I won't have mine, help me! and hey, help other people too."

Also, those calls are frustrating. Playing phone tag with nurses (never doctors!) is so much fun! The calls will say, "You have an appointment at this time, just a reminder!" or "Call us back." And by the time you do, they're gone. Or your doc is out of town for a week, well excuse the hell out of me for getting sick at a bad time for you, Dr Stupid. If you have a note on my file that only you can treat me, then you better be here!

Where was I?

Oh yeah, shut up Pluggers.

I may have sympathy if they're hounding you about bills, but that's just conjecture.

Of course, this could be bragging - "I'm friends with doctors/my kids are doctors/are married to doctors!"

Take your pick and leave me to fume and plot my escape.

The comic:


The Plugger knows how to surf the web? Duuuuuuuuude, freak me out! Or they call their grandkids and ask them to do it, which is no fun. (Click there, where I'm pointing! God, I'll do it myself!)

Pluggers are hypochondriacs. Pluggers have the money and knowledge to use the internet and the money to go to a doctor.

Wow.

Pluggers are elite!

I have chronic pain and I have had other illnesses since I was 13. (Thyroid. It's now out, and I have to take medication everyday or die.) I refuse to look medical stuff up online. If I have a concern, I talk to a professional either over the phone or in the office/pharmacy. The internet can be helpful if you're not prone to hypochondria or are relatively healthy, but when it's ongoing, eff that nonsense. Besides, according to WebMD, I should be dead!
