You also have to always worry about screwing someone elses life up = STRESS!!!! But, when you consider that you can help someone else out or save a life at the end of the day...then, it is all worth it.



Listen Sesinmay......you may be a nice girl,but I have about had enough of your lunacy.


You need a month in bed with the finest and biggest fucl<ers in all the land.









Just don't look at me.

Oh geesh. Let me just say:

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation."

Canada's system may not be that great,but if ya baby has a long term problem ,then you don't lose your house.You don't care about people losing their homes,and going into bankruptcy,because your the doctor's daughter.Doctor's here don't give a **** about long-term illnesses that bankrupt people. They just care about their checks,and their own families.They don't care if a long-term illness destroys families financially.Nobody in these European countries lose their life savings to a medical condition.Americans do.So,you can call it what you want,but people in Europe have the same(or better care) without fear of losing their house.People can just go on thinking their insurance company has their back.They don't....You got a baby girl who is ill for a year? You are probably gunna be financially fkd.Bitch,what about these hillbillies in trailers that got run over by this twister.Isn't that socialism(to help them.)Why is it o.k. to help them,and not help people with long-term health problems.Neither were the fault of anybody.

SCUDSBROTHER 02-07-2008 09:05 PM

You damn sure better vote for McCain....God forbide daddy gotta get paid what doctors do in France,Germany ,Switzerland,or Sweden.....Might have to give up one vacation/year,or 1 pet car.

i think a big part of the health problem would be lawyers, and the litigious society in which we live. it's ridiculous what malpractice insurance costs--and there are too many people who treat an accident as a way to win the lottery. sue sue sue. and then who pays?

i think the biggest problem medical insurance-wise, is that so many choose not to buy coverage. people choose not to afford it, or sign up for their companies benefits--i can't tell you how many times i've gone to new hirees, given them their health insurance packet (which gets cheaper per employee when more employees sign up) and been told 'i don't need it, we never get sick'.

who never gets sick?

then they do get sick, off to the e.r. spend more on one er visit then they would have spent on premiums for a year.
there has to be a better system then what we have, but i don't think that govt run health coverage is the answer.

I agree. I think that our system could definitely be improved upon, but I don't think Hillary's idea is the way to go either.

My wife is a microbiologist. Does that mean that I am somehow qualified to be a microbiologist? I assure you it does not. I will be sorely dissapointed if we end up with her as our nominee, although I will still probably vote for her...unless I defect to the Green Party.


it's funny you said that, i made the same analogy at work this morning--i'm married to an industrial electrician, but no one sees me at the mill trying to change out a motor on a winder!!

Why isn't it? Do you think people in Japan,France,Germany,Sweden,Switzerland,Australia have bad healthcare? I don't .We are brainwashed to think they do.Again,Danzig,I highly doubt this insurance plan will cover something like a years stay in the hospital,and some people have kids that are that sick.It doesn't always happen to other people.Americans have this disease of "it will not happen to me" That is why people lose everything right now.They didn't think they were gunna have a kid who would spend a year and a half in the hospital(and die anyways.)They didn't think that their insurance would stop paying.They didn't want national healthcare, either.Now they are fkd,too.So be it(I guess.)We are just too stupid to do what other industrialized countries have done.

“It is commonly believed that waiting lists in other countries and malpractice litigation in the United States are major reasons why the United States spends so much more on health care than other countries. We found that they only explain a small part of the difference,” said Gerard Anderson, PhD, lead author of the study and a professor in the Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Department of Health Policy and Management.

The study authors reviewed health care spending data on 30 countries from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for the year 2003. U.S. citizens spent $5,267 per capita on health care. The country with the next highest per capita expenditure, Switzerland, spent $3,446 per capita. The median OECD country spent $2,193 per capita."

Americans spend more on health care because of degenerative diseases such as heart disease and cancer. A large part of this is due to the increasing obesity rates of Americans. Rich Americans also love plastic surgery.

Infant mortality was not as high as it is now under this same health care system 20 years ago. In fact, America had the lowest infant mortality rate of all the developed countries 20 years ago.

And I agree that Americans have this "it won't happen to me" outlook on life, but that is no one's fault but their own.

1) The government should not pay for universal health care.

2) When an individual has a child, that individual should be responsible enough to take care of that child under ALL circumstances.

3) It should not be America's duty to make up for poor decisions made by individuals.

4) Do away with welfare. It makes Americans more lazy. Socialism makes Americans more lazy (i.e. welfare).

5) Doctors earn the right to make what they make by not having as long of a life expectancy as they would if they weren't a doctor. They earn the right by trading their lives through their dedication and pledge of serving others.

What don't you agree with?

^ Won't answer because requires too much thought...

I just told you there are insured couples that have babies,and lose everything because the baby is sick for a year.That's the fkd up situation you are backing.These are supposed to be insured people.See, your way doesn't work,and if it did then nobody would be trying to fix it.I'm not surprised that a doctor's daughter could care less if people lose everything.You pretty much want every male in America to give up a testicle because somebody has doctor in front of their name.Doctors in the U.S, are parasites ready to make a buck off somebody who is sick. They don't want to touch somebody without a check,and they don't want to allow anybody to do it for a reasonable price.So,we pay twice as much for each citizen's care,and still some people lose everything due to a kid's illness.
