  • My PCs disC drive is a combo DVD-ROM and CD-RW, and my DVD player plays audio CDs, MP3s, CD-ROMs, CD-RWs, and has a built-in VCR.
  • If your wishing for better TV, why not just got all the way. I got DirecTV - 434 channels including the regular cable stuff + 28 premium channels + BBC America + my area broadcast networks + 5 cable news channels, and there are a few DirecTV exclusive channel, my fav. of which is the 101.
  • As for my current connection to the 'net: I got 1.5Mbps (max.) DSL.

Well, yes. My Mom and Papa are just the unhealthiest of the lot, at the moment. Papa has incurable cancer, and Mom has a whole host of ailments.

But sure, if we're venturing into the realm of the absurd, I'd like us all to be healthy. :lol:

This is total bull shite and this is what the proponents are trying to sell to the public:



Check out some of the tremendous benefits that NHI will bring and see what you think:






Every citizen of the US will be covered from birth to death.
No more pre-existing conditions to be excluded from coverage.
No more expensive deductibles or co-pays.
All prescription medications will be covered.
All dental and eye care will be included.

Mental health and substance abuse care will be fully covered.
Long term and nursing home services will be included.
You will always choose your own doctors and hospitals.
Costs of coverage will be assessed on a sliding scale basis.
Tremendously simplified system of medical administration
Total portability – your coverage not tied to any job or location.
Existing Medicare benefits for those over 65 will remain the same or be vastly improved in many cases.


Total crap... They are trying to sell you the world. It will never happen. Be careful what you wish for.

I know what the bill says, ok. I read it. Quoting it was no necessary.

It might never become law, but what's the harm in voting for it.

Besides, seem to be in the majority on this.

why do you feel we have a "right" to "free" healthcare?

Is it even remotely freakin feasible and, if so, at what cost?

Oh and Michael Moore is another reason NOT to vote for it.

As to feasibility, Canada, Britain, Australia, Japan, and quite a bit of Europe have public health that covers everyone. It isn't "free" of course, but it is workable.

EDIT. Sorry all, this is the wrong thread for this post. So for Christmas, I want some common sense and self-restraint relating to my posting urges!

Free Healthcare = The end of progressive medicine!

I do wish for ALF to make a return to TV, but with the original cast just new, modern storylines.

Good Health
 
I just want good health and healty heart.
