Nope, not health care. A massive tax program that would ruin the
finest health care system in the world will be what is dead.
The stats don't support the US having the finest health care system in
the world. Far from it.
Our health care system is abouy 25th in the world. Are you a
shill for the insurance lobby or just stupid?
hanks
Name the better ones, and the bases on which they are determined
preferable. Then explain why people of means from all over the world come

Hey Hanks! Light cream, and one sugar.
And bring me a bagel too, mutherfucker.
The greatest flaw in the present system are gaps in coverage.
By establishing exchanges, mandates and tax credits.
This would guarantee that at least 94% of Americans had
decent coverage.
Out of control costs eat up 18% of every dollar we earn.
These costs have already helped to sink our auto
industry.
In Western Europe most primary care
practices
use electronic records and offer after hours care.
Canada, England,France,sweden,Denmayk, Finland
are all betterplaces to get sick.

No, we need a government-mandated public option. As an example, I am a
self-employed, reasonably healthy mid-middle aged guy. My insurance,
with a $2500 deductible and highly-restrictive coverage, costs over 10K
a year. If I were, say, a self-employed carpenter making 35K a year, I
wouldn't be able to afford medical insurance,a home, and food at the
same time.

Are you hiring?
Your employees are part of your company, and you probably have a sizable
contingent. Most of them are probably young.
I know that we self-employed form a very small part of the insurance
landscape, but I think my numbers are representative for my area of the
country. It reflects the absurdities that the market has not addressed.
I looked around, but it turns out I cannot get new insurance because I
have pre-existing conditions (well-controlled) of high blood pressure
and high cholesterol).
I understand that the insurance companies rate me according to others in
my narrow risk group (self-employed middle-aged men), but at some point
of risk-adjustment it becomes economically nonsensical. We all grow old
and sick, and it seems to me better to build those costs into our social
structure.
It's likely DOA if Brown wins
35, 50, 75, whatever.
Your posts (the few I see, because you post incessantly)seem to indicate
you are a poor young guy doing night-time tech-support while playing
micro-limit poker online.
I know hard-working upstanding guys who do carpentry around here for
$35k last year, and do their best to keep their lives and families
together. Anything wrong with that, sport?
Am I am an idiot? I certainly feel like it whenever I reply to you.
You don't get it -- the House has the votes to send it to Obama's desk if
they don't modify what the Senate's already passed.
Jim
There were Dems who were against it in the house. They got paid off, but
their deals are NOT in the Senate version
<...blah, blah, blah...>
There's an argument to be made for not passing the Senate version, but it's
coming from progressives who want the Senate bill scuttled and the process
restarted. Polls clearly show that opposition to the current bills is
largely because they aren't progressive ENOUGH.
Still, it's impressive the way you pretend to channel Jim Clyburn.

Jimbo, you fucking moron
The house bill didn't pass without abortion restrictions added as payoffs to
right wing Dems.
We KNOW you're a fucking imbecile, jimbo, we do.
But FUCK
WASHINGTON - A bipartisan House coalition voted Saturday to prohibit
coverage of abortions in a new government-run health care plan that
Democrats would establish to compete with private insurers.
The 240-194 vote on an amendment by Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., was a blow to
liberals, who would have allowed the Obama administration and its successors
to decide whether abortions would be covered by the government plan.
Sixty-four Democrats joined 176 Republicans in favor of the prohibition.
Stupak's measure also would bar anyone getting federal health subsidies from
purchasing private insurance polices that included abortion coverage.
"Let us stand together on principle - no public funding for abortions, no
public funding for insurance policies that pay for abortions," Stupak urged
fellow lawmakers before the vote.
The amendment would bar the new government insurance plan from covering
abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or where the life of the mother
is in danger. The Democrats' original legislation would have allowed the
government plan to cover abortions, if the Health and Human Services
secretary decided it should.
The amendment also would prohibit people who receive new federal health
subsidies from buying insurance plans that include abortion coverage.
The Democrats' original bill would have allowed people getting federal
subsidies to pay for abortion coverage with their own money. Abortion
opponents dismissed that as an accounting gimmick.
Abortion rights advocates called the measure the biggest setback to women's
reproductive rights in decades. Anti-abortion Democrats forced House leaders
to bring it up for a vote by threatening to oppose the underlying bill, and
efforts to reach a compromise fell apart Friday night

dog, make sure it is some real, large-sized dog, not some fucking midget
terrier that screeches all day long.)
Oh wait- you said *2* dogs. That's gotta be some kind of family. Some

you all can be the fucking Lawrence, MA, family of the year.

For a guy with an IQ of 136 (though no poker books), your invectives

Thyroxine has a very long half-life. (Half-life: look it up, it is on
Google.)
Maybe you should have a long talk with your endocrinologist. Why would a

just rolled his eyes when he first saw you and placated you with some
thyroid pills.

This leads to this problem
http://blogs.wsj.com/numbersguy/does-the-us-lead-in-life-expectancy-223/
Life expectancy has become a popular measure for comparing different
countries' health-care systems. Keeping people alive is, of course, an
important goal of medicine - and the fact that the U.S. ranks below dozens
of countries has served as fodder for politicians angling to revamp the U.S.
system.
However, two economists have argued in a recent book that life expectancy is
a lousy way to compare two countries. Murders, suicides and accidents can
have a big effect on life-expectancy stats because their victims die
younger, on average, than victims of disease. And, they argue, the
health-care system can't do much to prevent those kinds of deaths. After
adjusting for those kinds of deaths, the U.S. ranks at or near the top of
developed nations in life expectancy, health economists Robert Ohsfeldt (of
the Texas A&M Health Science Center) and John Schneider (of Health Economics
Consulting Group LLC) write in "The Business of Health," a 2006 book
published by the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank.
The notion is politically significant. The U.S.'s poor ranking in life
expectancy is a key tenet in filmmaker Michael Moore's excoriation of
American health care in "Sicko," and in calls by reformers for broader
access to medical care - calls being heeded by the leading Democratic
presidential candidates. Yet the U.S. has an unusually high rate of deaths
from accidents and homicides, compared with other developed countries. (For
instance, transport-accident deaths are three times higher in the U.S. than
in the U.K., according to the World Health Organization, while the murder
rate is 10 to 12 times greater.) Subtract out these deaths and suicide -
where the U.S. is at or below average - and the American health-care system
doesn't look so bad. Hence, the adjusted life-expectancy rankings have been
mentioned in several conservative publications critical of health-care
reform, including National Review and City Journal.
The bloggest goes on to raise some questions about some of the methodology
used, and he has some legitimate points.
Facts are, however, that Murder, suicide, and traffic accidents alone are
big American causes of death, statistically (significantly) higher than
other Western countries, on average.
We don't lead the list in every... but we have much more of a net impact on
our life expectency

I didn't say I spent it all.
I said most of it goes to bills
10% goes into the 401k, or did till the hour cut.
The mortgage, heat, utilities, food, auto insurance and car related
expenses.
Home upkeep.... you know what it costs to paint a house? Re-do a retaining
wall?
Vet bills, of course.
Gifts to friends and family and charitable contributions.
We have a small (non-retirement) savings, of course.
We tend to avoid Taco bell/KFC.
Around here, most of them are in the same building.
The 401k plan is currently in 6 figures... of course, I'll need 7 to retire

If I have a couple of hours in the morning, I check here.

No bankroll.
I could go to Foxwoods and play 10-20, where I won the average 1BB an hour
for about 5 months, till 4 bad sessions in a row killed the bankroll (I
started with $250, far FAR too little, and took out $100 a week for
groceries and such... locked in a profit, of course, but didn't build the
roll quickly enough)
I am not, however, going to risk playing with scared money.
If we sell the house and trade down for cash, with a cushion (a plan we're
discussing) I will try it.

Again, it is clear that the polysyllabic discourse is well beyond your

For fucks sake, retard, shut the fuck up about your stupidity.
A carcinoid tumor DOESN'T require chemo, IS ONLY treated by removal, and
it's clear to ALL now you don't have a goddamned CLUE what the fuck you're
talking about.
RATHER than let you shoot yourself in the face 15 times, let's cite :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinoid
[edit] Gastrointestinal
Carcinoid tumours are apudomas that arise from the enterochromaffin cells
throughout the gut.
Over two-thirds of carcinoid tumors are found in the gastrointestinal
tract.[3]
Some sources list the appendix as the most common site.[4]
[edit] Other sites / metastases
In cases of metastases it can lead to carcinoid syndrome. This is due to the
over-production of many substances, including serotonin,[citation needed]
which is released into the systemic circulation, and which can lead to
symptoms of cutaneous flushing, diarrhea, bronchoconstriction and
right-sided cardiac valve disease. It is estimated that less than 10% of
carcinoid patients will develop carcinoid syndrome.
Carcinoid tumors are also found in the lungs.
Most carcinoids are asymptomatic through the natural lifetime and are
discovered only upon surgery for unrelated reasons; these are called
coincidental carcinoids. But all carcinoids are considered to have malignant
potential.
About 10% of carcinoids secrete excessive levels of a range of hormones,
most notably serotonin (5-HT), causing:
a.. Flushing
b.. Diarrhea
c.. Wheezing
d.. Abdominal cramping
e.. Peripheral edema
The outflow of serotonin can cause a depletion of tryptophan leading to
niacin deficiency. Niacin deficiency, aka pellagra, is associated with
dermatitis, dementia, and diarrhea.
(My insert here : She had a number of the above symptoms... her wheezing was
thought due to asthma, but that has declined considerably since they removed
the lobe of her lung)
This constellation of symptoms is called carcinoid syndrome or (if acute)
carcinoid crisis. Occasionally, haemorrhage or the effects of tumour bulk
are the presenting symptoms. The most common originating sites of carcinoid
is the small bowel, particularly the ileum; carcinoid tumors are the most
common malignancy of the appendix. Carcinoid tumours may rarely arise from
the ovary or thymus.[6]
[edit] Treatment
Surgery, if feasible, is the only curative therapy.
(My insert here SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU MORON, PLEASE! Some idiot might think
you have a goddamned clue and you might get them fucking KILLED from your
moronic claims)
If the tumor has metastasized (most commonly, to the liver) and considered
incurable, there are some promising treatment modalities, such as
radiolabeled octreotide,[citation needed], for arresting the growth of the
tumors and prolonging survival in patients with liver metastases, though
these are currently experimental.
Chemotherapy is of little benefit and is generally not indicated.
(READ THAT about 100 times so you NEVER post abotu Chemo again in this case,
you fucking MORON)
Unless she didn't have a real

Let me wrap it up:
It is well past morning where I am now(Nice), but I don't understand why
you are up all night. (My header probably reflects my VPN.) Take a rest,
man.
Beldin, I have probably read less than 5% of your posts, but you have to
be most stupid person I have ever encountered online or in real life.
You are also deliberately obnoxious, but it is your stupidity which
stands out most of all.
On factual issues with which I have more than a passing familiarity, you
are just dead wrong. On other issues, you are less than convincing.
Calling everyone a "shithead" does not help your arguments, esp. when it
is obvious that you are cognitively other-abled.
I just don't think you know what you are talking about most of the time.
That's fine. Our society also needs people like you.
Relax with your family of dogs. Take a break.
I work third shift
I keep the same schedule on my nights off

Well, coming from a semi-retarded idiot, that doesn't say much

No, fuckhead, I'm not.
Moreover, I cited extensively on the one actual area of importance where you
got the answer 100% wrong.
If you don't know what the hell a carcinoid tumor is, don't fucking pretend
you do.
Someone might actually die because they buy into your stupidity.
Your beyond stupid; you're dangerous.
Pretending to know something about medicine when it's obvious you don't know
what the hell you're talking about.
Stating catagorically that Chemo is important and surgery does nothing, when
it's documentedly, and cited, as the reverse is beyond stupid.
If you actually ARE a doctor, you're an idiot and a quack. That oath you
took.... go review it
On other issues, you are less than convincing.
> Calling everyone a "shithead" does not help your arguments, esp. when it
> is obvious that you are cognitively other-abled.
Calling you "shithead" saves time.
You don't know a thing about hypothyroidism, you know LESS than nothing
about carcinoid tumors, and you're relatively clueless about income levels
in the US.
I don't normally bother to cite everything, but I did in this thread, and
you're still lubing up and begging for more up the chute.
It's a little scary

> I just don't think you know what you are talking about most of the time.
Much more than you did, as docuumented in this thread

uhhh..that is *household income*.
No FOX here, but I do have to put up with CNN bullshit.
Most people here don't have a home.... they rent.
And, shithead, quoting 10 year old data is just stupid.
You ought to have a goddamn clue, when I cite 2008 info, that using 2000
data isn't going to cut it
Did you even NOTICE it was from 2000?

Period, end of discussion. They only signed on to begin with because they

Whatever you think of this, if Brown wins (and I didn't vote for him today)
it's all done

I guess you really need to believe that.
Jim
When the House Dems don't pass it, will you admit you're an idiot?
Probably not
The european models claim to be lower cost;
what they are, is lower expenditure.
Their state programs deny granny treatment
at age 90 - she only lives 2 more months anyway,
what's the point?
Whereas in USA private plans, the kids pay
whatever it takes to keep granny from flat line.
Then the Big Brother worshippers say the
socialist model is lower cost. But they aren't
lying, mostly; they're so thick, they believe
everything they think.
> Out of control costs eat up 18% of every dollar we earn.
And, um, gummit monopoly is the path to
efficiency? In fact, even the Obamarxists have
admitted that line is a lie:
It's really an excuse for the biggest power grab in
american history.

Come on, Beldin -- any city that can marshal the resources to do a census

median income.

Oh, and another justification for "Beldinic" having become an adjective is
that I never once said I thought the House would pass the Senate bill, only
that it could.
But don't let that get in the way of your blind, knee-jerk,
masturbating-chimp-on-crack need to prove your big strong hero-of-a-man
superiority.
Jim
I don't recall claiming they had that information
I DO know that only a complete idiot compares 2000 numbers to 2008 numbers
<...beep...beep...beep...Beldin backs up...>
You claimed they take a census every year. I find that rather difficult to
believe.
Jim
No, fuckhead, they STATED they would let the bill die if they didn't get
what they want.
I'm taking them at their word
That's not an assumption, that's logic. They refused to go along with their
president because they needed to get re-elected.
Their home constituents aren't going to go changing their minds because
Brown won

No, Clave = retard

Keep it in mind, shithead
And then make sure I get the dogs licensed, as they count dogs on the census
So your call of bullshit on median income of $28k isn't based on the

I cited my source and never pretended it was more recent than it was.
You said the city does a census every year. That was clearly a lie.
You said my figure for median income was wrong, but if you have no better
data, that's another lie.
Jim
Shithead, I never said it was impossible, only that it wouldn't hapen, so
you really need to pay attention.
Indeed, moron, let's look, shall we?
Here's the start of that subthread, idiot boy :

You don't get it -- the House has the votes to send it to Obama's desk if
they don't modify what the Senate's already passed.

Now see, imbecile.
This is me, saying it won't happen; the guys had to be persuaded the first

Jim

No shithead, that too is simply wrong
You know it's too low because the median income in general has increased and
there's no evidence at all that Lawrence is atypical.
Goddamn, Jimbo, you're lying worse than Martha Coakley tonight
Bullshit.
Jim
Well, yes. Yes you are
Cite your source then.
Oh, and prove they do a yearly census.
Jim
You won't find a source saying income is down in Lawrence while up in the
rest of the state

I've never lived anyplace that took a yearly headcount. No city or
town in Texas does that I am aware of. The population signs at the
city limits of each town are updated every 10 years. I lived in Idaho
too and they didn't take a headcount there either
***
How does your state government work?
We need to do it for voting,,, some of our state house districts split towns
Not sure, I think the districts are adjusted based on the US census.
I did a quick Google search for Texas State Census and every link
referred to the US census. Not doubting how they do things in Mass.,
but things do work different west of the Mississippi.

I've lived in New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, and California. I've lived in cities with populations
ranging from 14 thousand to 8 million. Not one of them has ever done
a head count on their own at any time, much less a yearly one.
I lived in Mass. They also use the US Census.
LOL.
I was actually involved in a special census Baton Rouge did in 1973. They
did it because of reapportionment lawsuit related to the US fucking up the
1970 census. Trust me, it's more than a simple form. It's a fairly
complex (and expensive) undertaking.
Nobody does it every year.
