Brilliant idea and long overdue.

I'm sorry I cannot see the post to which you're responding ...

Self filtration, in excess, can lead to blindness.

I read an article recently on some of the folks funding opposition to health
care reform and was absolutely gobsmacked to discover how many of them are
owners or CEOs etc. of health care companies making nice fat profits with
things just as they are. No, really, guys getting multi-million-dollar
bonus checks at insurance companies and so on are opposed to the system
being changed--who knew?

And if you've ever had a "problem" with your health insurance
company, especially if it's a life threatening thing, be aware that
it's in THEIR best interest for you to die - before they have to
expend any money on you. At least with the government you
CAN try and get your elected congress person and senator
to look into your problem. With an insurance company - your
screwed - AFTER you probably have spent months on the phone
talking to someone in a Call Center - in Pakistan or the Philipines
or Honduras - who may or may not speak english.

What cracks me up is folks upset at the notion of some govt. bureaucrat
telling them which sort of health care they'll be allowed to have as if the
same damn thing doesn't happen today with insurance company bureaucrats. I
had an MRI awhile back and the hospital wouldn't give me an appointment
until they'd heard from the insurance company. Ditto with appointments with
specialists and so on, it all requires approval from some guy in a cubicle a
thousand miles away. I've also had a medication a doctor wanted to
prescribe for me disallowed by the insurance company in favor of a less
expensive generic--so I didn't get what the doctor thinks is the best drug,
but the one the insurance company is willing to pay for. And that's nothing
compared to what some folks have to go through, like having an insurance
company cancel coverage in the middle of chemo-therapy for breast cancer on
the flimsy excuse that the woman under-reported her weight on her original
application with the insurance company. For a start that sort of crap

I may of missed a few that haven't posted in the last 2 weeks, and I
may have skipped a couple that do post political on occasion but not
enough to bother with, or just not in last 2 weeks. I didn't include
those that only post off topic about non-political things like food,
recipes and so on. Everyone listed has participated in an off topic
politcal thread in the last 2 weeks. Anyone I excluded or included
that doesn't like it... try harder.

A friend of mine has health insurance provided by the employer as part
of the compensation package.

Absolutely every doctor's appointment, lab test, etc, must have prior
approval from the insurance company before it can even be scheduled.

This almost always costs several days/weeks delay before service is
received.

Such is NOT the case with those on Medicare.

Sounds like maybe the government getting involved in a major issue
like health care might just be a good thing.

Horsecrap. My wife and I have employer-provided insurance, but if we left
that coverage I'd be one of those "pre-existing condition" cases, in other
words, **** out of luck. There was a documentary on PBS not long ago that
mentioned the CEO of Kaiser Permanente is in the same boat--uninsurable
outside company coverage. Got any facile advice on what people should do
when in that situation, any easy slogans?

If you didn't have your head so far up your ass, you would have noted

Freedom is only good Doug if you can take advantage of it.

And your "disability" does not entitle you to rape everyone else's
freedom.

True, but a non sequitur.

You continue to live in this ideological sewer that says
you're entitled to whatever you need even if it harms other people.

This is an ugly accusation made, so far as I can determine, without
justification.

This is the mindset of an emotionally undeveloped five year old,
not of an adult.

This appears to be a strawman argument, where you fabricate and project
a mindset and then castigate it as if it were not your own.

Your needs are legitimate - like 10s of millions
of other people. But they are not a get-out-of-jail-free card to
pillage your neighbors. A gentleman asks for help politely and
is grateful when it is given.

Perhaps, but a person who demands a public declaration of gratitude for
a gentlemanly act is, in my opinion, unworthy of being considered a
gentleman.

A spoiled child demands what they want and curses their benefactor.

Another non sequitur.

I'd say your predominant disability isn't physical, it's moral.

I'd say you owe Upscale an apology.

Try living in the real world.

Exactly, and anyone with the proverbial pre-existing condition is screwed if
they look for private insurance, it's either impossible to find or so
expensive as to be out of reach. Employers are feeling the pinch too, it's
one more reason to move production overseas where they aren't faced with
crippling health coverage bills. More and more citizens with less and less
coverage, but some folks figure we don't need reform--astonishing, isn't it.

Do you ever read what was posted before you reply? Tim did respond to
my post, with agreement.

How does requiring insurance companies to play fair qualify as a raid on
your pocketbook? *How does setting up a pool where individuals can buy
insurance at group rates take money from your bank account? *And so on, but
nooooooooo, you have to leap to some bizarre depiction of citizens forced to

the only value you bring to the conversation.

How does this have anything to do with the issues of the

you're the one holding up the strawman.

Discussing ANYthing with you impossible as you have no ability to see
anything through anyone else's eyes.
Tim's view is the only view. Period.
You are a very disturbed creature, Tim.

You can bend, twist, and flap in any direction you want, tossing up
straw-men by the truckload, but for you to accuse anybody of
misdirection is the best laugh I had all day.

Your arguments cannot follow a straight line. You have to keep taking
detours to your stock-piles of hurtful vitriol in order to feel like
you are making a case for yourself. Your venomous words are way more
disgusting than a simple '**** you' would ever be. You get all
offended by people using language THEIR way...yet you continue to
skewer people with YOUR vile disgusting language. Do you honestly
think you have advantage by not using curse words? Is that all you can
hide behind?.."oh nooooo Rob cussed at meeeeeee...MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"

Grow the **** up, asshole. And stop trying to baffle people with your
bull****, straw-men and out-right lies.

There... that is English...now go whine somewhere else,
Now apologize to Upscale or I'll ride your ass like a new bride.

No, ..YOU just made that leap.

You're attempt at amused condescension fails because in all that
time, you've yet to make a case for your defense of theft.

I do not defend theft as there is no theft..all there is your hollow
bladder full of hot air.

Can't you EVER talk to people without insults and talking 'down' to
people?

Hey Buttercup, go read the first paragraph of his response to me and
get back to me on just who was mean here first.

I have decided to fight fire with fire. This means you and the rest of
pottymouths better hunker down - I have a way more interesting vocabulary
than you do. Oh ... while it is never intended, a person of reason is
always "talking down" to people that express themselves irrationally...

/me gets out the popcorn, this is going to be good

Call me Buttercup all you want. But No. You are NOT getting into my
pants.

He was....ermmm..'MEAN.? Oh nooo, the Thieving Meanies are out to get
Tim.

Oh really? *as I look over the top of my glasses at an idiot who has

No you ****ing well don't. YOU think you have a more interesting
vocabulary...doesn't make it so. The same old rehash as always, Tim.
Not an original thought.
Glad to see you sunk down to my level though. It is about time we had
a friendly man-to-pussy chat.
"Here kitty, kitty..."
"Yes..I'm one of the meanie potty
mouths........................okay...I need a break.. can't see the
keyboard from the tears, I'm laughing so hard....

Oh ... while it is never intended, a person of reason is
always "talking down" to people that express themselves irrationally...
Lessee here..'never intended'..... so..wait... aka unintentional...
mmmmm

Okay. Let's take inventory here.
To disagree with Tim = irrational. Check.
Meanies not allowed. Check.
Pottymouths are bad. Check.
No throwing sand while in the sandbox... unless you dig up a cat-turd,
then fling it at Tim. Check.
Stop digging up cat turds because Tim LIKES them. Check.

So, Timbo... start assembling some original thoughts. We have all seen
the fomenting smelly hippy hopium lines already... something fresh.
Like douche-nozzle.

Oh.. got to go..food's on...
