No, that is not why I moved here.  I looked into it, but there was nothing I 
was really qualified for.  And given what the mayor has been doing of late, 
I am kind of glad I didn't get one.

Yes, they all cover it.  I know at least two other people who have had 
surgery with Kaiser.  And there is also Health Net.  Lask seems to have 
missed that one.

Yes, I don't know of anyone who would have told Lask this stuff.  I think 
with Blue Cross you might end up paying out about $1,000 out of pocket, but 
for most of the plans, it is much less.

Yes, even though it is not really anyone's business, I have Kaiser.

Lask has never been known for being truthful.  No, I never stayed in a 
"men's shelter."  There was, for a time, a place called "A Man's Place," but 
it closed.  And no, I never stayed there.  I was in the women's section of 
two shelters, The Episcopal Sanctuary, and Next Door.

Nope, I have never weighed 300 pounds, and certainly not over that.  At the 
time of my surgery I was about 200 pounds.  Once again, Lask is just making 
stuff up.

Yes, Joy was a big help.  And yes, the day before my surgery I got a private 
bath.  And while I don't have a kitchen as such, Diane knows that I have the 
means to prepare food.  I have a microwave, and some other ways.  Of course, 
we now have a kitchen area downstairs, so even that claim is bogus now.

Lask just makes stuff up.

Yes, I have a good job, I don't live in a homeless shelter (I pay rent, 
which I believe Lask admitted above, so obviously it is not a shelter).  I 
have said before, where I live is rent controlled, and I have what I need. 
Why should I pay twice as much?  To impress some loser like Lask?  I don't 
think so.

I have always accepted that Lask had surgery, though I do know it was 
botched.

Now, I am wondering who you are?  I have an idea, but I'm not sure.
