annoyed

I am pretty bummed that healthcare reform passed. I knew it would. I've been trying to avoid thinking about it because there's nothing I can do to change it and it seriously upsets me because it directly affects my life. A LOT. I'm not saying that to act like I'm one of the few that it will affect so throw me a pity party because it essentially affects everyone, but it sucks extra because my career will be in healthcare. It will put limitations on what I can and can not do, and what I will HAVE to do. I don't want government regulation. I don't want another trillion dollars in national debt. I don't want my tax dollars to pay for it. But that's not even the main issue. The main issue [for me] is that my responsibilities, duties, and rights as a doctor will change. OK, I know I'm not a doctor yet, but I will be soon. I think the administration working on healthcare reform should have listened more to experts in the field, like doctors, nurses, and hospital administration because they know what will work, what won't, what's worth trying, and what's not. That's my two cents. Not that it matters but I needed to get that off my chest. Now I suppose I'll have to just suck it up and deal with it because there's no use whining about something you can't change.

also, I know our government is supposedly by the people for the people and in theory we CAN do something about it, but my senator, and house representative already have my mindset and are representing my views so unless I want to move to a swing state, my voice really doesn't matter.

MAN, I wanted to say "On to happier things..." or "On a lighter note..." but unfortunately I have nothing to say that could be preceded by either of those phrases. Hopefully next post I will because today I am a Debbie-Downer.
