I hope the judge throws the book at them and jury awards the plaintiffs as much as possible.

The feds need to file criminal charges as well and fine them big.

Bunch of crooks!

Hey, TexHickGirl, let me give you a number:

45 Million americans do not have health care...15% of the country.

Wanna guess canada''s number? 0% of the population is without healthcare.

Seems to me the U.S. is not better in that number.

Hey, TexHickGirl, just curious, if Canada''s nationalized health care sucks so much, then why has erasmus606 been such a proponent?

I mean, all I have seen is YOU bashing Canadian nationalized health care with some irrelevant study and have not taken it head on by saying how the U.S. healthcare system is better.

I''m an American and I own a small business and pay employee benefits. I am telling you: the U.S. medical care system is a joke. It is a cash cow for insurance companies.

You have been arguing for an hour and haven''t said word one on how the U.S. has succeeded.

There aren''t many americans that would say the U.S. healthcare system is a success.

I don''t know what you''ve been smoking but you need to get off of the pipe.

A gov''t that cares about its people? Only spending what you take in in revenue (taxes)? No national debt?

That''s no way to run a country!

Debt and self interest is what this country was founded on! We''re #1

$10 Trillion in debt
$4 Trillion in deficit
#1 in teen pregnancies in industrialized world
#1 in gun deaths in industrialized world

Out STDs were dropping but we''ve worked on that over the last 8 years of christian rule and now they are back on the rise!

We Rock!!

Obviously you can''t believe everything you read.

No one that I know that has had to have a biopsy has had to wait that long. My mother waited 2 months for hip replacement surgery and less than that for TWO eye surgeries.

Those Canadians without a regular doctor are 3.5 times more likely to visit an emergency room for treatment.[35]

Posted by TexHillGirl at 10:54 PM : Jan 13, 2009

Ok, you need to stop. You have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about. You are just making yourself look like the idiot you are.

If for some reason a person should not have a doctor, they do not have to go to the emergency. All they have to do is walk down the street to their nearest clinic and walk in and they will be seen to. No appointment. No money.

so your government is getting soaked just as bad as we are..

Posted by TexHillGirl at 10:53 PM : Jan 13, 2009

No, they aren''t. There ain''t nobody getting soaked as bad as you are. Your problem is that EVERYTHING is corrupt. And because everything is corrupt, you think everyone else lives with the same thing. They don''t.

I just read a comparison of US health and Canadian health care...yours ain''''t so great either.

Posted by TexHillGirl at 10:48 PM : Jan 13, 2009

Whatever you read, I doubt it''s accurate.

Our healthcare isn''t perfect, but compared to yours, it is.

I quit working for United Healthcare and filed a complaint to the State Insurance board in 2007 and I am glad to see this happen. United Healthcare was cold calling seniors, asking them if they had Kidney failure, and then denying them appropriate coverage based on those calls. That is illegal. To further this they were storing data that may have included Social Security Numbers, Medicare info, and other information in an out of the country company called Melita which I believe was in Argentina. The data was in voice format, but what''s the difference? People can still review digitally recorded calls and write information down. United Healthcare is probably one of the worst cases of fraud in the US and needs to be stopped.

Whats new about that, Check out Medicare "Part D" and the companies that cover it. We pay for most of out drugs by our self. They pretend to pay but they have built in a so called "Doughnut Hole" that causes us to pay for most of our meds after we pay a certain amount
we end up paying 3/4 of the full price before they start helping

But the insurance companies will decide what they will cover.

Posted by jsd330 at 10:07 PM : Jan 13, 2009

What is covered is already set. And it can''t be changes. Our medical covers pretty well everything. Doctors visits, hospital stays, surgeries, specialists, bloodwork, tests......

Yes my doctor does decide what course of treatment to purse.

If things are bad now, do you really want the goverment controlling health care?

Posted by rhs648 at 09:31 PM : Jan 13, 2009

Actually if you had a government that you could trust, you wouldn''t have the problems you have now.
