"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

Goshen Hospital v. George Washington Hospital |
So I called GW Hospital a while ago about needing to get a cholesterol test so I could get discounted health insurance. "Just walk in," they told me helpfully. Well, figuring that the rules would be the same everywhere I figured I would just get it done while Celeste was in class. No such luck. Goshen Hospital needs a doctor's order.
They were very nice about it, and I guess I understand the liability reasons. But really. All I want is for them to check my cholesterol levels. I'll pay in cash. I even skipped breakfast for this. Maybe my father can figure something out if I call him. He knows everything about health insurance stuff.
Perhaps the worst bit of it was that I am always so nervous about getting blood drawn and here I was all mentally prepared and then it didn't happen.
