Have you tried the Taurus X? It's being phased out (I think they stopped making them in February). It is based off of the same platform as the Flex and has similar capability, but with a less polarizing design. You might be able to get it for a cheaper price than the Flex as well.
I test drove an older version and rather liked it. The Edge was a little too wide for my taste.
How do they calculate wait times? If they include people like gunshot victims, I am sure the everyday dude's experience with an earache is probably going to be higher than average.
I believe that though we spend more per person in this country, health care costs are increasing at about the same rates among all developed countries.
I actually watched the XFL every other week, so yeah, I will probably watch this. Then again, there are weeks where I don't watch anything besides a Bills game.
The NFL is more like a partnership with each team's owner as a partner.
The same NFL that provides the small market teams with revenue protections also protects the Jerry Joneses and Bobby Crafts of the world from worrying about competing NFL teams in the same city.
