A side note

[blamebrampton]

Dear Americans,
Outside of your strange, strange country, most of the developed world has this marvellous thing which we like to call health care for all. I'm reading an interesting mpreg (that will teach me not to read the warnings!*) story from hd_hols and the poverty-stricken pregnant one is in despair as his health insurance will not cover it. On the off-chance it was written by someone on my flist, the good for society news is that in the UK, this is not the problem you might think it is! And I have my fingers crossed that in the US, it won't be for much longer, either.

(And if anyone is planning to respond telling me that socialised healthcare is evil, I will LAUGH AT YOU, and then I will QUOTE REAMS OF STATISTICS until you FLEE.)

* And yes, my dislike of mpreg is not supported by the excellent writing that occurs within that genre and the imaginative plots that many superior writers bring to bear on the concept. But I still don't like it!

Yeah. Dun liek Mpreg either. BUT! Yeah, I have read good Mpreg. Roma and Brumms and I think Oldie's wrote a fic I liked too, with mpreg in it. But. Yeah. Usually what I don't like in Mpreg is that it changes the characters into these peeps that I'm rly not interesting in knowing moar about. Instead of remaining individuals they become DAD and it's all about cuteness and stuff and the PASSION! and DRAMA just fizzles. Which is BULLCRAP cause family? It's intense. I think the Mpreg I've lieked was the one where the PEEPS weren't lost in the mechanics of the thing. 'Cause it's like Scifi somtiems, with the bolts and the POW POW and the ship and the action takes over and the characters are left behind. This happens in Mpreg, except when it doesn't. :)))))))))))))

OMG, Mousie! That is the perfect explanation of why it makes me into crazy Brammers! It is as though you are inside my head! (Saying 'Good god, woman, when was the last time you tidied in here?')
