  Fifty Per Cent Of Personal Bankruptcy Claims in US Due To Medical Costs

  by hillary_step in

  i was stunned by this dismal piece that i read in forbes magazine recently.

  coming from the uk it is astonishing to me that an affluent nation as is the us, cannot provide better protection for the health and welfare of its citizens.

  i was especially astonished by the fact that insurance companies withdraw their coverage while a person is sick and in need of help.

  the issue burned me from two sides..

  two of my family members, not living with me, were so dedicated to the WT (side 1) they did nothing to cover for health care (insurance) or any other obvious human need for that matter.

  I ended up paying a private health insurance to take care of them..., thanks WT

  The state provides basic education for "free", (not really nothing is free from any gov.)

  BUT many gov, including usa (side 2) do not provide "free" health care, not only that but gov do a very poor job when it comes to "educate" about health, it is only 2+2 and ABC.

  If you loose your MENTAL or physical health, there is no much you can do, even having received a good "education' previously in other field, it shows how important is to be "educated" about health.

  Let say that in other words: we are very poorly educated about health, we should thank the gov and the junk food industry.

  BTW do you know how Cuba is doing in the two departments mentioned above?, (health and education)

  Bu again if we ignorant about anything of importance, it is mainly our fault... that include not only the the reason for joinin the wt but staying in it./

  Back to the topic if the gov does not provide healh care as we think it should, who is to blame, dont people choose gov every 4?

  dont you a right to ask a potential presidential candidate to do something about it?,( to include it in his proposed gov program....)

  babyboomers if you feel the pain... "they" will hear you. "hell no we wont pay"

  so, on year 33 at least 3000 were "choosed", to begin with and spread the word, then until the year 1935 (1902 years later) less than 100 thousand had been "choosed" to go 'up'.

  Mark your calendars - Oral arguement in Barbara Anderson case-APRIL 14th

  ed bell will be arguing for barbara anderson in the tennessee court of appeals on april 14th.

  this case may go to the supreme court.

  it is very important for a lot of us.the wtbs hides behind the first amendment whenever they can (usually in money related cases) and then disposes of the rights of individuals who wish to leave, coerces families and causes families to break apart.

  One said:

  How will she/he be called, Mr. or Mrs?, what about the "First Lady" will called Mr. or Mrs.?

  Preston said:

  She will be called Madam....

  BUT i was not refering to a "she"

  It amazes me the number of men here who are intimidated by a woman that transcended the role of first lady to become senator... There is such a double-standard, I don't hear anyone criticizing Laura Bush for her flaws.... Preston

  Intimidated? not really, now tell us about Laura, "flaws" at the white house are good to hear

  See an earlier thread thread of a few days ago - women are not the weaker sex

  Ok, let's send to where the action is in Vietnam --- I mean Afgahnistan, no i mean to Irak...

  Or could they make a much better job where strong human emotions are rather a plus than a liability?..

  open minded enough to accept a presidents sexuality as a private matter,

  How will she/he be called, Mr. or Mrs?, what about the "First Lady" will called Mr. or Mrs.?

  So woman can not only vote now but become president... what else they want? oh i know, become elegible for GB membership., not in million years.

  The same applies for articles of interest. I enjoy flipping from page to page looking for any headings that catch my eye... you can't do that online.

  Not really, i have seen online newspapers using a format much better than papper for visual searching. They give you ALL the headlines in a single page above the first parragraph or first few sentences in the article.

  They could even save screen space for more headlines if the first parragraph appears only when you just point the headline with the mouse ("flash"?).. I have seen too many online newspapers with terrible web design.

  Simon please take note, so we dont have to open the thread to find out it is fluff or a jerk (me?) with catchy serious "headline"
