A HuffPost Thanksgiving

I am thankful that, as a union member, when I get sick I don’t have to rob a bank to pay for the treatment I receive.

As a service to those who want to save time so they can watch more football this Thanksgiving, I have already included readers’ comments to this post:

While flying to Florida for the Miami Book Fair last week, I came down with a bad cold.

HateLibsHarry: There’s a war on you narcissist! Haven’t you heard? Stay the course!

My cold got worse…

Doughboy22: Boo-hoo, crybaby! Liberals are such wimps.

…in Miami, and by the time I flew home it had morphed into a sinus infection.

SoaringEagle: I guess it didn’t stop you from writing, if you call what you do “writing”. Who are you, anyway?

I am aware the world has far worse problems and I will get to that in a moment. I called my doctor who proscribed Azithromycin, a generic form of Zithromax.

DefamerGuy3: Isn’t Zithromax the new movie that guy from Swingers just directed? I hear it’s good!

HateLibsHarry: That’s Zathura, you idiot!

Laughingalltheway: Is this supposed to be funny?

Because I am a member of a union that has a solid health plan…

WalMartBob: Unions are forcing investors to hold on to their money. Their coercive practices are ruining the market place! Unions suck!

…..I was able to get the drug for eight dollars. How many Americans do not have access to affordable medical care now?

RedGirl: Move to Canada, Seth! You and Michael Moore can share an igloo.

I believe the number is around fifty million. On Thanksgiving this year, one of the many things I am thankful for is that when I get sick I don’t have to rob a bank to pay for the treatment I receive.

OReillyisgod: I agree with all the comments except the one about that movie Zathura, which I did not see because I heard it has magical elements that deny the centrality of God, so it’s just one more way Hollywood is trying to undermine conservative values.

Happy Thanksgiving.
