...."let them eat cake"
i don't know about your side of the border, but down here this shit don't work worth a damn. every time the government steps in and tries to play big brother, they just screw it all up. the larger a society becomes the more difficult it is to keep an eye on their representatives and 300,000,000 is just too freakin' big. maybe with a tenth of that number, like up in your neck of the woods, it might be possible to keep the crooks in check, but here the fox has had his run of the hen house for quite a while.Quote:

That's so ridiculous. Health care is not a good to be sold for a profit like bicycles, it's a life-or-death thing, and it shouldn't be treated like just another corporation that caters to the rich Americans and leaves the poor in the streets. I guess Canada is just more liberal.
your details on the story are wrong. it was apathy that killed her, not lack of insurance.
so you know the whole story then?
Who has seen this movie and how? Did you download it or have an promotional copy? One of my friends used to get movies before they were released, copies intended for media to pre screen and review and stuff but not in the last year or so.

I think federal law mandates that if a person walks into an E.R. they have to be treated....how many operations, baby deliveries are there per year of illegal immigrants?
Have a good one!:s4:
thanks for pulling up the story on king, p4b. this is a perfect example of why politics and medicine don't mix in the us. king has had a politically motivated practice of hiring based not on qualifications, but on race. they have filled the hospital with staff that is politically protected and lack the normal motivation of the fear of being fired. laziness, apathy and corruption have become the hallmarks of american politics and these characteristics are deadly when they are allowed to flourish in our medical institutions.
though it has been said that bad medical care is better than no medical care, why should we aim for the bottom?
This from a woman that had her parents working two jobs to pay for her medical treatment. The elites have no comprehension of the commoners dillemas, "let them eat cake" is more like let them eat shit. I've got mine, fuck you. How about the woman that died on the hospital emergency floor, no-one would even look at her and she was vomiting blood, and how about the hospitals dropping off patients off on skid row Because they had no ability to pay and no address, even one dude in a wheelchair? My adult daughter has a herniated abdoman and the dr. said unless you come in under life threatining circumstances, we won't operate, she is in constant pain. Our medical system is broken and only works for the rich. We need universal health care. I don't see that happening anytime soon as the lobbiests own our governmentQuote:
