matthewcline 0 #3 September 18, 2009 None, I have received a form of National Health care for 23 years now. It has its issues, (I've payed into it every year) but over all it is pretty good. The current bill /s need work but may not be bad if we can help the ones who can't help them selves. The ones who refuse help I see no need to help, it is their choice.An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

kbordson 8 #9 September 19, 2009 QuoteIf national healthcare passes, to what country will you flee to avoid it? WTF. "flee to avoid it"?! What it might do is limit my willingness to freely give to that population. I currently give money out of pocket for some of my "self pay" patients medicines. If the government (which I read as "ME through mandate") provides it, then I have less guilt and personal commitment to personally donate my time and effort.

lawrocket 3 #14 September 19, 2009 I'll be joining Alec Baldwin, Cher and Barbra Streisand. They left when Bush was elected. Well, they said they would. That's right. Streisand was busy suing people for taking pictures of the coastline when her house was in it. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpohl 1 #15 September 19, 2009 While we are living in the US, our family is also fully-insured (no deductibles, no copays, no lifetime limits) in Austria. By extension we can receive care anywhere in the 27-member nation EU. Stateside we are insured through a Belgium company (www.expatplus.com). The benefit per insured person is limited to $1,875,000, that is per year!! Also, the European insurer cannot pull all the crap that American companies regularly do now: no easily rescinding policies, denying claims, treatment, etc. My experience with them has been top-notch. So, in closing I am not going anywhere right now. But it's a a whole different matter w/ the US: I'd be very scared if I had to relay on US (non)healthcare alone.

quade 4 #17 September 19, 2009 QuoteQuote If national healthcare passes, to what country will you flee to avoid it? And if it does not pass, what country will you flee to get it? Well, it would be a tough choice Ron. I only have about 36 countries to choose from that I could go that would have better healthcare than the US. Quote And why have you not already gone? Ah, because I actually love the US even if I have to put up with some really greedy fuckers that are ok with tens of thousands of its citizens dying every year because they don't have access to heathcare.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We pay about 30% MORE than we should have to because the insurance companies (the greedy fuckers I was referring to) take a substantial amount of the healthcare money and put it in their pockets. It's money that's NOT going to healthcare at all.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I would brainwash your children by forcing them to watch commie indoctrination videos from the President. Then I would invite Osama bin Laden over to turn America into a Muslim caliphate. Oh, and burn Bibles & force pregnant women to get abortions. I guess that's about it. Oh, and force everyone to get "666" tattooed on their foreheads. Can't forget that. Did I miss anything?

SpeedRacer 1 #23 September 19, 2009 I appreciate the validity of intelligent disagreement with the proposed healthcare bill. but the fact is that you've got a large number of people out there who are saying that national healthcare is the equivalent of NAZIs. Does that mean that all the other developed countries apart from the USA are really NAZI regimes?
