    I'm going through an email account that has had a constant barrage of emails sent from one individual whom is new to the entire Internet thing. Henceforth, anything he is ever sent, and thinks is of some entertainment value (read: every fucking thing) is forwarded to his contact list.

    I had the foresight of predicting this phenomenon, and as such, when he asked for my email, I gave him one that I rarely check. Today, I check it, and 400 messages into it, I have something of value to post:

    Excellent point. Better stick with our by far superior system far more advanced than the rest of the world that sits back and waits for our new developments in medical technology.

    ok lets go...

    I have had United Health Care health insurance since... April 2000. I had it with my 1st X husband's job ..Turner Broadcasting.. that later turned in AOL Time Warner. After the divorce I kept it... first paid like 330 a month, then the past years it was 434.89 a month, I have the pay stub in front of me.

    for years I kept asking my Primary care doc for ... this test, that test.. no no no no... I did not find out about my brain tumor till one day in an ER. I had done my own searches online for my symptoms... and had mentions Cushing's to my PCP... he said insurance does not cover the testing unless I met so many guidelines... bla bla bla... so it went undiagnosed for years because of being denied.

    People are keep saying "do you want the government to decide what you need?" well we have been under that system for many years with insurance companies.

    Last time I went to the doc, he did a bullshit test for my cortisol level... and said - you are fine, no need to check if your tumor is back.

    you would feel differently if you were someone else's unfortunate shoes. Lets say you get laid off from this job, your wife gets laid off... you cant find work... and boom - you have nut & colon cancer and she comes down with breast cancer... or you need a kidney transplant... I would like to see you be all anti health care then.

    But then again under Lomo's ideas... you are weak and should die because your genetic make up.

    god damn I hate typing mad, cause I go back and read it and see all the typos.. fuck it.

    were you talking about Joe's response to this,,, or Lomo's response to that other one... hell where is that one.. knowing this place it could be in the food forum, we start with a peanut butter topic and ended up in the "you and your kid need to die" topic. either way.. everyone is an asshole and has an opinion.

    yeah I changed that old saying around a little

    Death, hunger, famine, violence, rape, greed, mean people in general all have a solution right?

    Socialism

    And if you don't agree with the solution then well you are another one of those mean people who are apparently for: death, hunger, famine, violence, rape, greed, and other mean people in general.

    Right? :rolleyes:

    I'm telling ya look around to ANY socialized medicine country around. You would not have got your cushings tumor test.

    Socialism is NOT the answer.

    haha.. when I met my X's new wife (german) I told her about cushings.. she knew all about it because her aunt had it, and it was taken of.

    Well the x husband moved to Germany... good thing because he had an odd tumor pop up. 11 days after he went to the doc, it was removed.

    one of the Arab's vet buddies... they went to school together, he married a Canadian chick, and opened a practice up there... his wife had the best care, and quick... a few months after that (Xmas time last year) he came down with ball cancer... they felt weird, he went to doc, had it removed immediately... I sent a funny neuter card to him for X mas.

    I have seen many ads on craiglist (you know my hobby of looking in personals) I have seen MANY MANY ads , people wanting a marriage to a Canadian, from the USA.. because they need healthcare for a serious illness.

    What C&P :confused:

    Answer: No

    My aunt Zelda had a funny limp she went to the Doc 15 minutes later her tumor was removed and she was healed. :eek:

    :rolleyes:

    Look there is a Socialist world of propaganda out there. But in reality looking at all the awards for achievements in medical advancement. What percentage are American? What are the real world figures for identification of cancer and curing cancer that you mention for the Socialized countries vs America?

    America's Capitalist and semi-Capitalist system is WAY WAY WAY above the rest.

    You want cheap insurance implement real tort reform today and you will get cheaper insurance tomorrow.

    C&P cut and paste..


    so you are telling me, you have enough money back up, to pay the medical bills is you or your wife got in that position.. wow I am impressed. Have you looked into what a surgery costs?

    so what is your solution????

    my 9 year old needs a check up... his run around 1800-2600. and I am about to pay that on September 10... and I just know they will say he needs another heart cath with coils.. and I have no fucking clue how much that is... I think 7 years ago it was around 19k. for a procedure we go home 3 hours later.

    My insurance cobra runs out on September 1...in a few days...I know my tumor is back... I know I without surgery I will blow up to a lovely 300lbs... or more... I know one chick with no insurance on line, she went from being a dancer to a 440lbs shut in.

    who will insure me , Evan, stripper turned Jaba de Hut.. no one.

    You are totally missing the point.

    come up with all the off the wall "Tiny Tim" heartbreak stories you want its all a facade covering up real cruelty.

    Real cruelty is taking away the health of many to contribute to the health of one.

    Once again health insurance would be easily half the current cost if we did not have lawsuits. But its all to easy to convince a jury of people like yourself to stick it to "Big Medical" and take up for the little man.

    But in all the socialist countries do you ever hear of a government being sued for malpractice?

    Socialism has created the problem and proposes its self as the solution. Their classic move. Makes like the only obstacle standing in the way of our pursuit for Utopia is the RNC.

    So if we go socialist and your son gets his treatment and thousands die as a result are you OK with that?

    And I know what C&P means but was confused because I had not cut or pasted anything.

    my understanding was ...

    you can keep your Blue cross... Atena .. Untied Heath Care if you have it...

    just like we have the US postal service... and there is also UPS, and FedX

    yeah pay more if you want that package overnighted with FedX...

    just like we have public government schools .. and privete - if you want to pay more...

    again this is my understanding.

    as for lawsuits... now a days it is just about impossible to get anything from medical malpractice...you have to sign every fucking form imaginable even befor getting a shot. Even with Vet medicine- kill a dog in surgery, and not get shit because the paper the client signed. Hell even when I got botox, I had to sign that I am aware that DEATH is possible, and the doc would not be responsible.

    I take it you never had children... because I would personally slaughter every fucking human I know, if it meant saving my kid... call me crazy, call me a cunt... I dont give a shit. and trust me, most moms feel the same way.


    I am sure you have seen this... kinda funny and I bet he wished he did not say it... but if it is true...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XTi-WdOu2s

    I say yes .. KEEP your insurance Joe...your FedX ... I will take the gubment shity care... the US postal service. Its better then the NOTHING care I and Tiny Fucking Tim have right now.

    I am off to bed... so dont expect a reply tonight... I will catch up with you and Lomo's input on this in the afternoon

    I would like to offer a healthy serving of "suck my ass in advanced"

    Actually what I have to do at 8:30am is take my mom (fresh outta jail) to yet another pain doc... her stomach cancer is bad, along with rheumatoid arthritis, kidney stones the size of peanut M&Ms, skin cancer... and she is doing her own- illegal hospice care of eating nothing but pain pills and rice crispy treats.

    and this may be off topic... but I am all for human humane euthanasia... its kinda funny/sad, if you let a dog get in my mom's same condition... you would go to jail (animal cruelty) for not having it put to sleep...
