Fan in San Diego

Until you rent a car for the weekend and you have to take the insurance for the weekend. In California you have to have a car or your screwed, with the exception being San Francisico. But the claim the vast majority of Americans still holds true.

Interesting concept. I'm with Kaiser currently which I am very pleased with. Sometimes I or my son will see a Physicians Assistant for general things that don't require a full blown doctor. They are highly trained and one step below a doctor, not sure if other HMO's or practices have the same thing. These PA's can help fill the gaps that your fearing.

Is that the same group that shouted at lawmakers the 'n' word and spat upon other lawmakers and called other lawmakers 'faggot'? No thanks, I'll skip the teabagger movement.

You guys are so over dramatic it is ridiculous. Wait a few years and you and every one else will be loving it.

Not driving a car is unrealistic for the vast majority of Americans. How many people do you know that dont own a car or dont drive period? Even if it is to have a license and rent a car when needed. I only know one person that fits that description and it is because he is a mongoloid. So I feel it is a good comparison.

They are for a reason. It's good civilized government that takes care of its citizens, way better than this Republic of the United States does.

So callous to sit high and judge. I hope a bad series of events don't humble your opinion and see the other side of the coin.

Dont be silly, check some of the hospitals around you, I'm sure you will find a few that are non-profit. People there don't work for free. No one works for free.

No of course not. Non-profit means that income equals expenses, or if a surplus then save it for a rainy day.

You gave reasons for the mandatory items listed. Which are correct. You missed the point tho, the government forces you to do things that benefit the popluation as a whole. Thats the job of governemnt. Forced auto insurance is similar to forced health care insurance. Uninsured motorists are a drain on the responsisble people who get insurance for accidents, medical costs etc. Now, healthcare, why force people to have health insurance? Because uninsured people end up going to emergency care and cost the insured people more by gettting expensive care without paying for it. Thats why this bill removes the exclusions for pre-existing conditions, cap limits, etc. Now if everybody is paying healthcare premiums then healthcare premium's should actually go down. Emergency rooms being flooded should go down since they can access regular doctors. Personally, I would have not added the kids till 26 option. Make them buy insurance on their own. Factor a minimum earnings that they can afford insurance and subsize the people below that mark. A healthy 22 year old should not have to pay alot for coverage. Most are pretty damn healthy. Then they have coverage if hit by a runaway piano or something. This is all my opinion of course, but the democrats agree with me and most other countries in the nato aliance.

No

These are not just points but pain and suffering of real people.

And you have a problem with that? Poor people are still people and not expendable trash. They deserve decent healthcare as well. Or they just show up at emergency rooms and our insurance company pays for it. Emergency is more expensive that preventative care by seeing a doctor regularly.

You are so right, people dropped, preexisting conditions, cap limits, just to pay shareholders a profit. Healthcare should be non-profit. People are not line items that are expendible. For all those who think differently, wait till you are on the wrong side the insurance company. Maybe you have a heart attack or diabetes and you lose your job. Good luck getting insurance ever again. Until now, you can thank the Democrats for that, not the greedy selfish republicans.

From what I see the government makes us do alot of things whether we like it or not such as 1) Get a drivers license to drive a car. 2) Get auto INSURANCE whether you want to or not. Uninsured drivers get funded by the insured just like healthcare does. 3) Wear a seat belt. 4) Pay your income taxes. 5) Wear clothes in public whether you want to or not. Face it, modern society requires the government to force us to do alot of things we would rather not do. Get over it healthcare is a good thing for the entire people. A lot of people are excluded from any heathcare because the insurance companies are looking at the bottom line. The rest of the civilized world has made this step already, we are just joining the civilized world. Now if the US can just stop attacking other countries we will have lots of money for the people of the US.

I havn't seen anything where the government pays for your healthcare fully. Some poor people will get subsidies but that is a smaller fraction of the people.

Trade for Darren Sproles.

Which has the best view? The dugout sidelines I would guess. Do they have food services?

There is a road named after Basilone by Camp Pendleton. Also a statue of Basilone in Little Italy in San Diego.

Maybe it was Eric?

Just curious what you thought of the service and view of the game?

I think McGahee got a bum rap in Buffalo. His words were twisted into something not what he said. Marshawn will be good this year. I think ML was depressed this past year having to play for a lame duck HC. This year he will turn it on again.

Rule number 1 You dont talk about fight club. You are not your job.

but the bear was bigger and ran like a ... up a tree. I remember that ditty as a kid. Not PC today, but eh?

Some of the replies to her story are great. B word slapped that hack writer into her rightful place.
