  Excellent points.

  As long as ACA simply focuses on paying the bill, no matter how steep the price, insurers, hospitals and medical suppliers have absolutely no reason to lower their charges.

  The ACA (and the British NHS, etc.) are based on two premises:

  (a) That society as a whole receives less than the optimal amount of health care services, thus causing unecessary suffering and premature death.

  (b) That this should be changed by subsidizing health care. ACA is intended to increase consumption of medical services, which must be paid for.

  One side denies the reality of premise (a), the other of premise (b). Both sides need a dose of reality--a commodity in short supply on the banks of the Potomac River!

  He is telling you how little you mean to him, whether he realizes it or not. I had a similar experience, spending our last two anniversaries alone while Ex went to week-night meetings.

  Annual Meeting Instructions to MS / Elders

  by jw07 in

  have any elders or ministerial servants here recieved any specific instructions regarding the annual meeting?

  as an ms all i have been told to do is to arrive early to "await further instruction due to the sensitive nature of my assignment".

  ironically all i can imagine after hearing that a few times is dispensing cyanide laced kool aid to attendees.

  <p>McDonnald [sic] bought Boeing</p>

  <p>Other way around, actually. Boeing bought McDonnell-Douglas. It was a bad deal IMO, at least for commercial aircraft (military contracts may be the reason Boeing made that deal). The DC10/MD11 and DC9/MD80 were dated and uneconomical designs, and there were no viable replacements in the pipeline. I agree in part with your criticisms re. outsourcing, but there are good non-technical, non-financial reasons for doing it. Foreign content helps to close deals for foreign sales. All else being equal, a national (government controlled) airline is more likely to buy aircraft from a company would buys airplane parts from their factories than one that doesn't. If Airbus buys from them and Boeing doesn't, none of the order will be built in Everett--because Boeing isn't going to get the business. Since there are more international sales opportunities than domestic these days, Boeing really can't afford to not outsource work to qualified foreign suppliers.</p>

  who signed your blood card?

  by losingit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  two elders in my congregation signed mine bc hubby couldn't bear the repercussions of either 1- saving my life by allowing the blood transfusion, which would probably lead to him being df'd, and 2- me dying bc he did not allow the blood transfusion and having my parents call him a murderer.. isn't that so nice?

  when i most wanted him to represent me, he didn't have the guts, even hypothetically.... so, who signed your blood card?.

  I know who signed my child's card, without my knowledge or consent. It was an elder from the ex's congregation, whose signature falsely claimed him to be a relative and legal guardian.

  My blood card is from the blood bank, and yields six units every year!

  Why don't they sell these? Think how much faster you could cover an under-served territory with this for a service car! And they come in the Theocratically Approved four-door body style.
