People with mental illness 'should get jobs with health insurance and take care of themselves'

[Denninmi]

22. I have bipolar II syndrome, a full time job, and pay for my BCBSM coverage out of pocket.

Geesh, the teabaggers and freepers need to get a life.

I went to work some evenings AFTER spending the day at the psych ward day program. Because the world moves along no matter what, and there were deadlines to meet. Pleadings and filings to draft, tax returns and IRS collections cases that needed attention, several estate plans to draft, a couple of deeds.

Was it easy, no, especially in light of the fact I had been locking myself in my office a few weeks prior out of extreme anxiety.

Got done at the psych ward on Friday pm, was back to work Monday regular schedule.

Here's an irony, my taxes probably pay for the Medicare, Medicaid, and SSI/SSDI some of these people get while they complain about "freeloaders".

So, to those with the attitude of "get a job" I say bite me. I've got one, what's your excuse?
