Wriveroutlaw,
I'm sorry if it seemed I said you hated Muslims, I was not saying that, didn't even think that. Typing on the internet can get things confused. I meant that I considered the comment ignorant because I see those militant anti-woman actions to be due to the culture of a country - really to me it is nothing more than that. American Muslims would never consider such a thing. I understand now what you were saying. Can you understand what I am saying?


Docspud,
I should sit down & figure out the #s involved but I havent' because I see billionarie ins CEOs & know they are making money by handing off the sick to our gov. Cut out those billionaries & give the $ to the gov to fund what they already pay for -health care for the sick. If I wanted to make $ in ins, couldn't think of a better way to make it then the current system. Ins people well enough to work but not with a term policy but rather a policy that ends when they are too sick to work, then the big bills will be paid by the gov or absorbed by the hospitals who just passes the cost on to the rest of us. No free lunch, it is dispersed & carried by all, the bill will always be there. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out we are being ripped off. Even if people bought individually, if they couldn't work they probably couldn't pay premiums & if they could, the ins would find a way to exclude.

I have a friend who is a surgeon that I knew in college. He worked day & night & couldn't afford to eat & still works harder & longer than most. He is smart enough to have been anything. He will not be rich until he is 60? He is rich now in his 40s. Everyone has an idea of rich but I don't know anyone that wouldn't consider him rich. He deserves what he earns, I never thought we should go after the docs that afterall is the ins comps other agenda.

Many families are homeless due to med bills, many people have died due to lack of ins. Why? Not for the benefit of our gov economy but rather to make a CEO another billion, or to give a bonus to those who finds a way to hand off the expensive to our gov. They are in business to make $ not care for sick people - you gotta get that!

How do you intend to pay for(everyone covered.)?

Gee, I dunno, how about asking every other industrialized nation how they do it? I mean, being as how we're reputedly the richest nation and all.....

Huh Its pretty easy how they do it, they tax the sh!t out of everyone and take away the incentives for working hard..

There was a time when health care was more affordable - before the HMO's. They are just another mouth to feed (a huge mouth) when we could just have doctors make the call on what a patient needs. Same with hospitals, too many administrators instead of healers. Rant, rant, rant...

Since our FDA rubber stamps drugs we are the guinea pigs

Look at sweden, You can pay 60% of your income in taxes...

Talk radio is Ego Masturbation, whichever slant it caters to. They're just stroking the opinion center of your brain long enough to make you listen to their commercials and let you feel morally superior and correct.

The State of Arizona last summer passed a bill revoking the business licences of companies that employ illegals because illegal immigration was undercutting the wages and quality of life for Arizona Citizens and the local GOP hacks down there $hit a brick.

That right there in a nutshell sums up the GOP and their views on the working class, immigration, and corporations.

Wow, 60% in taxes in return for health care, education, transportation, some vacation, etc. That leaves the average citizen with 40% disposable income. How many Americans can claim to have 40% disposable income after buying just health insurance? Most Americans can't afford to even put money in the bank or invest for retirement in the first place.

Since you make the claim that doctors are victimized by too much litigation, do you propose that the government step in and provide more regulation? Why is it, though, that the number of lawsuits has declined in relation to the cost of health care and insurance rising?
