每次坐uberX都让我觉得压抑

因为开车的都是失业却又勤劳的底层人士，听他们的故事让人心酸。

夜里11点坐上一个黑人开的uberX，他的车是Honda Pilot，比较大的一款SUV，内装很好，是皮座，他说这车可以开XL也可以开X，他两种活都接，虽然X比XL挣钱少也接，因为不想空等。他有背痛的毛病，不能久坐，需要隔一段时间出来伸展一下，才能继续接活。我估计是腰间盘突出。他的毛病是20年前的一场车祸留下的，对方是酒后驾驶，当时他动了个大手术，可是留下了腰疼的后遗症，需要时不时看医生，甚至动手术。虽然当时对方付了医药费，但是几年之后再看医生就不负担了。这哥们说他今年又动了手术，总共医药费18万，自己掏腰包付费3万刀左右，不包括保险费用，剩下的保险公司负担。因此说到了医疗保险，他买的是obamacare，公司是Blue Cross Blue Shield，每月保费700刀，保他和他老婆两人，还要付5000刀deductible。他老婆今年伤到了脚，他说因为他动了手术，他老婆的脚手术就只能延后到明年了。他说他明年打算换一种保险计划，每月保费多付一些，这样可以少付一些deductible。他说他以前有个咨询的工作，那时的保险比现在好，他前几年失业了，还用了CORBA一年半（政府规定失业员工可以在失业后自己付钱延续用公司的保险计划），虽然自己付钱，也比现在的obamacare强，可惜CORBA有时间限制。

他开车的时候还伸展了一下腰，说他不太舒服要伸展一下。Uber司机一个月也就挣2-3千左右，听起来似乎是收入的全部都给了保险公司。obamacare号称是全民医疗保险计划，可是怎么实际上是肥了医疗保险行业这个社会毒瘤，欺负勤奋干活的人？

到达以后我给了他5块小费（一般我只给2块），他很感激。回家后我后悔没有给他10块。

美国是个富裕，先进的国家，可是它就没有问题吗？医疗保险和高昂的医药费就是美国的癌症。

猜测：美国忌惮中国

共和党辩论第二轮观后感：总共有11个参选人，8个职业政客，3个新手，让我觉得有意思的是职业政客花了n多时间贬低奥巴马和伊朗达成的协议，抹黑妖魔化伊朗，新手Trump问：“你们大骂伊朗，伊朗并没有核武器，北韩有核武器，而且还不断叫嚣要使用它，为什么你们却没有一个人提到北韩？”，这正是我想问的问题，结果接话的Jeb Bush竟然就象没听见一样，回应他的另一个问题，而完全没有回应他北韩的问题，之后的所有候选人的回答也完全没有提到北韩。为什么这些政客对那个跳梁小丑，麻烦制造者金三胖避而不谈，我不得不思考这个有趣现象的原因，我不得不猜测，虽然北韩力量远不如伊朗强大，但是美国忌惮北韩背后撑腰的大哥中国，对麻烦制造者金三胖却束手无策，因此避而不谈。除此之外，实在没有什么更好的解释。
