Maybe, and I’m hanging it out here, health care for all conditions and from any cause shouldn’t be a benefit. Maybe dividing us into different groups for different reasons and offering a wide variety of different benefits at different costs is just too unwieldy and inefficient.
-
Sure, and one out of 5 isn't that bad here. #3 is totally dependent on the size of the mesh holes in your net, which seems to vary. The rest, meh... Anyway it's been getting warmer here since the sun came up, time to freak out.
-
So like it's totally etched in your memory how dorky you looked in the 7th grade? That must suck.
-
I am always reinventing myself, or so it seems.
-
Just the idea that we live on a planet where people are pretending that they are something or someone they aren’t freaks me out.
-
I think you might have got a bit too close to the rotor.

Never understood the sentiment, really. Me, I intend to hang on as long as possible no matter the inconvenience because, contrary to a number of claims unsupported by evidence, what comes after this once and done personal event is annihilation. That I'll hold off on as possible.

And distancing themselves from us, which is no problemo for the MAGA crowd. Interestingly, new calculations from the James Webb telescope released after the election show that the rest of the universe is also receding away from us at a faster rate. 8% faster so it's not just folks moving to Canada to get away from us.

I'm not an asshole, I'm just fallen. That's good, no? Tell you what, for tenacity you get the win. It'd be easier to kick a hound dog off a ham bone than you off of this lonely crusade.

"It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada," Trump wrote on his Truth Social website at 12:06 AM Tuesday. Such a Statesman.

But there has to be a solution for this perplexing problem. Maybe portable privacy walls with suction cups we can attach between the urinals? Perhaps we can all just agree to stop looking under bathroom stalls to see if it’s occupied? Short of not caring what can we do?

Tell you what, it’s a damn weird world when you come across a kid who wants coal in his stocking.
-
That 'splains it. Damn I can be a dope.
-
Of course that's to be expected from someone of low character like me.

Are you suggesting that every follow on post in an internet blog thread must have a clarifying preamble sufficient that it won't offend your delicate sensibilities, and also conform to your own strict conversational rules so that at the bare minimum you can understand the intent? Unlike the Bible, for example?
-
I guess "if-then" hypotheticals are more than you can handle.
-
Not really, when you're short on smarts you simply need to put in extra effort. My practice is that when I sit with my finalist specialists it's an interview. I would never take a specialist solely on a PCP referral.
-
No, I am observing that positive outcomes are a possibility in any unfortunate event.
-
He just affirmed that first will be pardons for Jailed insurrectionists. I assume you’re in agreement.
-
Coming out must be so relieving for you. Now you can outright state that Trump didn’t incite an insurrection or steal secret documents or finger a resisting woman or tell a single white lie. Nope, the poor lad was targeted.

Well, you wrote this: "Medicare doesn’t require a primary care physician and there are no referrals required to see a specialist - however the specialist usually requires one. Within the VA, the PCP is the pivot point. I hurt my foot, I see him, he refers me to an orthopod in the VA, if it's greater than 30 days out, it shifts to CinC". Wherein you artfully explain that with Medicare you don't need a PCP but in the VA system you do. So yes, that does sound like Trump bullshit. Also, the VA PCP chooses your specialist where in Medicare the choice is yours. And I have never yet had a specialist ask for a referral. But then I am always very studied up of the procedures, have read what the specialist has published, have a solid feel for their experience with the procedure and the devices, have my own preferences, and also precede my appointment request by providing recent imaging. Maybe you aren't as picky.

Sneaking up on a victim and shooting them in the back is anything but heroic and were I consulted I would not have made the recommendation. But it happened and is now news. For a lot of folks anything less wouldn't have blipped on their radar screens.
-
If a speeding car runs over a serial killer I'd say there was a certain positive outcome in an unfortunate event. Amazing to me is that a beret wearing member of team ends justifies the means wouldn't agree.

Ralph Himmelsbach rented a hangar from me for years and took, what seemed to me at the time, an unhealthy interest in Mrs Weber's young son Joseph.

So standard insurance bullshit. There is no equivalency. And no, Medicare does not "usually" require a referral between specialists in my experience which is substantial. What is so important to you that you insist that VA bullshit is no different than Medicare? It is worse by your own examples.
