*****fraud and lawsuits

****Yep, and the costs of drugs, and simple procedures such as MRI's.
****
****A quick one for my knee's torn MCL would have been around $2000.
****I just nursed it back to some stable health myself, learning rehab techniques for the muscles around it. The operation would have been another 5,000. or so, with all the add on's.
****
****So, in this case, I didn't support the high prices of the two actions, saving the insurance company and me some do ray me. And, I get around better than most 30 year olds! :) Running still, soccer with the grandkids, baseball, rollerblading whatever!
****
****People seem to jump to having to get something done,(if insured, or in a social health country, which sends more people to the higher priced items, which the insurance companies have to keep pace with, or the taxes have to remain high or get higher. (England, for example). What is their tax rate now? If a person is working in a social health country, then they sure are paying a lot for their procedures, just at every pay check time, over and over. NOTHING is FREE. If free to someone, then someone else is paying for it.

***you obviously haven't even bothered to watch this - rather sticking to old thoughts- try a somewhat open mind and listen to the whole thing - England pays LESS taxes than the US for health care - try listening without blinders or preconceived opinions for a change or maybe you can't

**Hey dipshit, what's with your attitude toward me in the past months? Back off. I was merely giving my viewpoints. Is there a link? I did NOT see one. I just read what was in the post and pushed "reply". So, try being a little understanding and not so meat-head like, like I am doing now! :) Thanks

*it doesn't take much to see there was a link - which shows you just regurgitated a preconceived response - you love to pontificate on this board but WON'T (in your vernacular) even CONDESCEND (in your vernacular) to LISTENING to the link

*as for the dipshit comment - piss off...


Just to point this out (and avoiding to comment on the dipshit part): Hippie J, in her almightiness and as per usual, had deleted everything before posting her again unbelievably profound insight.
