Today you're a term for a healthcare plan that most people
don't seem to understand and people seem to really dislike.
"THANKS OBAMACARE!" a man will shout at you from
his computer as he fails to log into the healthcare exchange of a state that
refused to allocate resources to the production of its website.
"I know, right?
WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY!" a man next to him will shout at the
ceiling.
"FOX NEWS!" a third woman will shout.
You'll insubstantially float about, wondering just what the
shit is going on while people lambast you.
For the most part, you'll just feel hellishly confused, but every once
in a while someone somewhere will actually use your name in some sort of relevant
context to your existence, and in these brief moments, your awareness, your
consistency as a concept, will flare.
"I guess Obamacare isn't terrible once you actually get
through the initial hassle," a young woman in Kentucky will announce to
her computer.
"I guess I don't have to deal with Obamacare at
all," a young man in Alaska will announce to his screen after learning
that his receipt of health insurance through his employer disqualifies him from
receiving care under the Affordable Care Act.
"Obamacare done taught me that maybe all black folk
ain't so bad," an oddly progressive minded young man from Houston will
announce to his computer after learning that his girlfriend's lupus will no
longer disqualify her from coverage under his health insurance plan.
These statements will occupy the minority of your awareness
or existence or whatever it is that you have as an insubstantial term that sort
of just exists in the aether of the world, but they will serve as concretions
of a sort, fixing agents that will allow you to understand the texture of your
own existence. This mix of vitriol and
passive acceptance, this notion that people hate you until they get to know you
a little, will be odd, but it will be an existence of a sort, and since
existence is the only thing you're insubstantially aware of, it'll be a good
thing, more or less.
Enjoy the new year, you strange, miunderstood, insubstantial
term you.
Congratulations Obamacare!
