homeless people and the Canadians would lose their great health care.


Great health care? Where you have to wait months, sometimes years, for
elective surgery? Even those that are in pain and are suffering.

Give me a break!



As opposed to? No health care?



As opposed to what we have. If you are poor, you get it free (medicaid,
et cetera.) And don't give me that crap that they are neglected. There
are as many malpractice cases with medicaid, as there are with medicare,
et cetera.)

If you are rich, it's moot to talk further.

If you are middle class: sure, they bitch about paying into their health
care, but they want to drive BMW's and go an Carnival cruises twice a year.


Listen, you mother****er, I'm poor. and when I say poor, I mean dirt poor,
making under 10K a year. I don't get no stinking medicaid. I don't get
no stinking medicare... and most of the people I know don't get none
either.

proud, poor Americorps member

go to hell, I've served for my country, have you?

No need to express your scatological comments; it just shows your category.


... my category? My Dad once told me, "A girl can do anything a boy can
do." I swear to remind me of that.


Really? It would be interesting to see you take your peni... Never mind,
I'm not going there. ; )

grin thank you.

If you would like some scatalogical commentary, I might oblige, but I
think the rest of the newsgroup would prefer I didn't.


and... exactly when did you learn what scatalogical meant?

Probably in H.S., but it could of been in grammar school as well. Along
with learning the meaning of that word, I was well versed at many of the
scatological words; doesn't mean I have to use them in my daily speech.

then you maybe ought to look up the meaning of the word again... it might
be a little different from what you're expecting. I certainly wasn't
using any scatalogical references, in what I said. Impolite language,
perhaps, a jargon you may not be used to, almost certainly, but not
scatalogical commentary.

The main problem with medical insurance is coverage for catastrophic
events. You get admitted with a massive MI to a coronary unit, will get
an open heart surgery, and be released; and you'll pay zero, nada,
zilch. It's called an administrative admission.


the main problem with medical insurance is that they're going out of
business.


Of course, with CEO's and their cronies reaping in millions, while
government does nothing about it.

they can't even afford the preventitive medicine that would save them tons
of money in the first place. CEO's get paid that much for a reason...
investors know how much money the company is making, not the CEO.

That happens to me, and they'll be going after my property like no
tomorrow.


same here.


But you are dirt poor? No? What are they going to take?

whatever they can find. while it won't be much... they'll still take it.

Plus, if you are so poor, PA has programs to help you out.


ah! but the trick is finding them... and ones that don't ask too much
about how much savings you have.

But you are dirt poor? No? What savings are YOU talking about.

dirt poor==not earning much. earning below poverty line. have savings,
don't want to rely on them. living inside my means is rather more
difficult than it might be for other people.

BTW, what do you do at Carnegie Mellon in which you get paid so little?
Just curious...


oh, i'm not at CMU anymore. I'm an Americorps member... full time
service!

Sure is nice of them to allow you to use their email server.

yeah, ain't it fun to be a college grad?
