Who would’ve thought that Chili’s answers to healthcare questions could be more sensible than the government?

With a new bill getting passed, a healthcare debate is raging once more. A Tweeter named Colin Gray went on a rant that’s nowhere near being related to any of it.

Apparently sick and tired of the lack of face-to-face communication, Gray wrote, “There’s this weird thing you can do, where, if you need information from someone, you can ask them instead of the internet.”

To make his point, he listed all the different ways you can get answers besides the internet:

Perhaps, chatting in person?

if you live in the same town, you might be able to see them in person. who knows! the world is your goddam oyster

Through a phone call or an email or a text.

or you can call on the phone. or like email. or you could text

Here’s another option.

or, option 125, you can just blindly ask facebook. someone will know! talk to facebook. or chilis. Sometimes @Chilis knows

However, that raised a few questions.

“I really want to know what questions you have for Chili’s,” asked a very sympathetic reader.

Even though Gray was particularly raging against asking Chili’s questions over the internet, he went along with it anyway.

And here’s how it all came back to healthcare:

my co-pay at my primary care doc is supposed to be $0 but then I always get charged more money later even for regular checkups. WHY CHILIS

“If your deductible hasn’t been met, your copay is how much it costs to simply leave your doctor’s office,” responded (Dr.) Chili’s Grill & Bar, almost immediately. “They can charge way more later.”

Everyone including Gray was very appreciative of the prompt response from Chili’s (MD).

If you’ve lost track of how this all started. Here’s an inaccurate assessment of Trump’s own party bill by Trump himself. Just by the way, Graham-Cassidy does not assure coverage of pre-existing conditions.

I would not sign Graham-Cassidy if it did not include coverage of pre-existing conditions. It does! A great Bill. Repeal & Replace.

The entire internet was much more appreciative of Chili’s than Colin Gray. From responding to angry customers to giving life advises, Chili’s outdid everyone on this “Ask Chili’s” affair.

It's not as bad as it seems. While at times life can feel overwhelming, there's always more good than bad. You simply have to look for it.

What's your subject? A sassy red chili pepper might be something to try. 😉

Advice on thinking long term.

Find a goal and stick to it. Think long-term, and learn to say "no" to impulse spending. But, allow yourself the freedom to have fun, too.

And whatever the hell this is.

We refuse to discuss this until the issue of gravity and Unified Field Theory can be resolved.

Would you trust Chili’s with your life?
