Spartacus

I'm No Blog- Conspiracy Type... I have been saying what I have been saying way longer than those who cry wolf for financial gain. I'm VERY SORRY I WASTED MY BREATH ON YOU.... It won't happen again... Don't go away mad Sparty, Im sorry I had to prove you wrong. No Pete, Not Mad... Very Sad For All People Who Buy The Old Lies Thinking It's Something "NEW"... I Just Wish America Could Be Left Alone...

Pick up a history book

No we pay, through taxes which is way better then up front costs! Yup, you pay for your neighbors healthcare through taxes & they will pay for yours.... Right? Why not just pay for yourself? All American needs is healthy competition in all insurance & healthcare providers and the price will come down. No need to have a third party (Gov. Officials) to decide who pays, is there? Oh well... It all sounds good until you can't get permission for care.... Government permission? I'm curious who says anyone needs that... Here in the USA Pete, you will have to get a third party (Government) to ok treatment. That's the way I understand it. Your Care, Conversations and Concerns you have between you and your Doctor will be open to the Feds who hold the purse-strings... My Doctor Needs to ask me by Law if I own Any GUNS here in Ct...... Obama said it himself that No Consideration will be given to those who may want to receive certain treatments once they reach a certain age. Now, where I come from, I Decide If I'm Getting my hip replaced, Not The Federal Agency who Ok's whether or not I should Get the Treatment... Maybe you think that's great, For Me, No Gov. Agency or Law should mandate ANYONE To buy ANYTHING from a Private Company (Ins. Co). I have been in healthcare for 20 plus years Sparty and not once, not one single time as a "government representative" ever made a choice on what type of care I provide or what type of care Im going to receive. Im sorry, but what is happening in the US when it comes to Obamacare is nowhere close to the care this country provides, its literally apples and oranges. The right wing media will try their best to scare the shit out of you thinking it is, but its not. We spend so much time making these comparisons when in reality it doesn't matter. Experience is what matters, and by the overwhelming response to this forum you get a reasonable idea what people think of the care here. It works, its effective and all the stats and numbers prove so. We are a free, reasonably healthy nation and takes pride in the care we provide and get. What else can u ask for? Now Steve, it sucks what is happening with care in the US. People question me all the time why should I give a shit. Its because my daughters and wife and born US citizens and I most likely will retire somewhere warmer. This Obamacare thing is a mess. They need to repeal it work on something that is bipartisan. You will never see Universal Care in the US in our lifetime. As much as you can get exceptional care in the US, its also profit driven as well. Costs need to be cut, and how that will happen, who knows. I still have faith in the nation that took me in years ago. Pete, The USA, Canada and the Rest of the World are all in a Transition Towards Authoritarianism IMHO. Getting The Gov. in any Country Holding the Purse-strings Over Your Healthcare System Is One Of The First Steps. Once The Dollar Collapses It Will Start A Chain Reaction And Many People Will Be Hungry. Then People Will BEG The Government For Everything Including Basic Needs. You Have Never Heard Of What I Say Will Happen In 20 Years In Canada? Just Remember, WE Are All In Transition, Your Healthcare System Will Move Towards What I Said Will Happen. Actually, You Are Just Helping Lead The Way For The USA To Follow.... I Predict Things Will Be Made To Appear So DIRE, That Those In Healthcare Will Be Forced To Continue Working For Much Less Than They Presently Do. All The Big Media Has To Do Is Politicize It Enough Along With Big Gov. And People (Who Are Hungry) Will Demand It....

Very well put Old Man... There are many, many reasons why The Care, The Insurance, and the Liability have all become too much to bear nowadays... America has become a Selfish, Litigious Society. The USA in my opinion have been trained to be this way, from the top down. Now it's feeding upon itself.

This case ended as I expected. If it were reversed, I would have supported Martin shooting Zim in self defense if being battered & fearing for his life Also... I wish we can all learn from this....

Very Funny

The Word "Member" also can mean the "Male Sexual Organ", so I guess it's appropriate... CONGRATS LOM!

Boston In 7

The Root Of The Problem Is We Have Fundementaly Been Transformed Into A Society That Is Irresponsible, For The Sole Purpose Of Creating The Nanny State... Owning A Gun IMHO Is One Of The Largest Responsibilities One Can Have Besides Bearing & Raising Children... The Collective Get Lazier & Lazier Everyday...

Happy Birthday You Bash Master! :cheers:

The Rusty Trombone Sounds Off.....! WHAAAAAAAAAA-WAAAAAAAH! I wish I Could Say That I'm Surprised....

I'm gonna miss you Buddy....

Sounds like your Sub-consience mind woke up after being supressed by all the chemicals you were on.... Dreams like that are messed up.... You should worry when you dream about Snakes, they say it means you are being betrayed lol... Also, It's very very hard to live clean & sober, but you realize so many things that you have been missing when you were under the influence.... Good to see you are trying!!!

Happy Birthday when ever it is!

Happy B-Day
