Look at the outside only...my aries ex is gorgeous which deflects from his sometimes simple simon attitude
I guess I don't understand why people get away from reality in political debates.....the if we only and what would work and what we need.......has nothing to do with what actually is and therefore isn't really a viable alternative
No offense but McCain......a man who is trying everything he can to avoid criticizing bush
TAC all I am saying is tackle issues that you can tackle. I am not saying your solutions are not good ones or they will not work, however, when I read your posts I am put in the mind frame of men who watch football shouting to the coach either from the stands or the couch what play the couch should have called.
So I acknowledge you are right. Now what?
lol getting jacked isnt a fear I have over whether or not a repub or dem gets into the whitehouse over socialized medicine. A scenario much more treacherous is a nuclear war in the ME.
Why there is nothing you can do to prevent nuclear war, however you can begin to change our society. You can use some of that Mensa intelligence to educate the uneducated. It only takes 1 person to start a movement.
Gas at 20 per gallon is not something you can control, therefore, why worry about things you can do nothing about?
Medical Malpractice of course occurs, and yes negligence. Do you think this is exclusive to the US health care system? And do yo think a socialized system is the answer?
No but it is way too prevalent or rampant in the U.S. look at Kanye West's mom. I met her one month to the day before she died. She was healthy, vibrant, and more importantly her son was Kanye West. However a doctor looking at the zeros behind the West name ignored the caution signs saying don't proceed!
Whether the health system is socialized, capitalized, or whatever there needs to be tighter regulation and standards. Regardless of the system you use if there is no regulation the same behavior will continue. Health care makes too much money, and then they funnel the money to politicians through PACs, lobbyist, political funds, organizations and political fundraisers.
That is why I say until we are a unified front and demand a higher quality and standard in health care it doesn't matter what system you create or de-construct there needs to be unified regulations.
I do not think your views are stupid or testosterone induced I just disagree with some of them based on my personal experience. I also believe that attacking an issue like health care has to be done with a realistic method. We all know that mass privatization is not going to happen any time in the near future, so we need realistic solutions for the immediate problems in the present. There is way too much bureaucracy involved today for there to be some sort of mass change so that leaves us as individuals to begin attacking the problem.
I did not mean to come off hostile it is just that I see so much suffering while some Americans turn a blind eye. And it makes me upset when I hear people characterize the poor as freeloaders when in fact they are bogged down with so much of the BS that comes with being poor by the time they cut through all of the red tape everyday.....the business day is over and so is that day's opportunity to try and create a new life.
And you have those who have tried day after day to find a way out of their present conditions but have been rejected or ostracized because of racism. It is all very sad.
Congrats on the Mensa!
Holy crap! Did you give them an earful?? I think I would have lost control over my words.
I did and after his death I read the entire medical report, flagged the pages where they screwed up, secretly recorded the chief of staff of one of the hospitals that messed up in a meeting with the family where he admitted they screwed up, and hand delivered the medical file, my timeline, the recording, and synopsis/informal brief to the med mal lawyer at the firm I interned for.
Thank you PFE. Dude even the sisters of st. joseph are in it to make money....you know the owners of St. John Healthsystem. What happened to living a life of poverty for God? Well that plays no part in raking in a few bucks off sick people's backs. It's sick what health care has become it really is.
It is so sick that I personally read my boyfriend's 400 + page file and even I a lay person with no medical training could see the gross deviation from the standard of care he was supposed to receive. Oh and my favorite was when his doctor who we couldn't track down when he was in ICU to have his records sent, and the hospital wasn't smart enough to request them or use them after we personally got them called my cellphone to schedule a follow up appointment 40 days after he died!!!
""Your saying people are dying in hospitals? No they are not.""
Again my boyfriend a healthy 33 year old Caucasian male with excellent healthcare and a six-figure a year salary died because of a hospital's negligence! In fact it was partly an infection caused by THEIR instruments that created the sepsis that killed him!
How do you explain MRSA???? How do you explain staph infections???? How do you explain hospital injection site sepsis??? Acts of nature. I really hope you never get critically ill cuz you are in for one rude awakening!
Furthermore how do you explain one person having 4 doctors? 4 doctors that don't consult the other on the prescription meds they give.....healthcare is not the place for the left hand to be in secret from the right hand. But in America it is! Why? for a few extra bucks.
