| environmental regulations are
| dropping like flies in a mist of DDT.
[...]
| in Oregon, the economy is truly in a crisis.
[...]
| mostly they talk about cutting the help [those who need it]
[...]
| I get a $30 worth of food stamps every month.
[...]
| I have decent health insurance [...] My employer
| pays [...] and I pay [...] My co-pay is [...] and we get good care.
[...]
| dental insurance is much more affordable
[...]
| the food stamp program does not apparently consider
| health insurance to be a necessity
[...]
| I am considering cancelling my [...] insurance
[...]
| If we're not eligible for OHP (or if the co-pay is too big), then
| we'll go uninsured, use the emergency room as needed
[...]
| So this month is a month of research for me: health insurance, or food?
| An an American, I can feel proud to say, I have the freedom to choose.

Only one thing to say:
It's a privilege being an Icelander.
