My New Ringtone
When crazy ass Glenn Beck freaks out, my soul laughs....to keep from weeping.
Glenn Beck freaked out on his radio show today when talking about healthcare with a caller named Kathy. I need to send Kathy from Massachusetts a fruit basket, because she is the reason why Glenn brought the crazy again. One minute, Glenn was talking about prostate exams and then he was screeching like a pre-teen. You can picture Glenn's head spinning around while piping hot smoke blows out of his face holes. I'm surprised every socket in the building didn't blow up. You know every straitjacket within a five-mile started making its way towards Glenn.

Canadians happy with primary health care, study says
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health/canadians-happy-with-primary-...
THAT would be a GREAT ringtone! Although the one from my FACEBOOK THEME song is pretty good too!

I AM THE MUTHA F'in FACEBOOK GUY!
TITS....The actress was Natasha Richardson and she received treatment in Montreal, Canada. The only issue in her care was that she initially refused medical assistance and once it was determined she was critically injured her transport was delayed due to her being at a remote resort in the Laurentian Mountains and had to be transported by ambulance, as opposed to air ambulance which is available in most Canadian communities outside the major cities.
She was sent home to New York so her family could say goodbye, sadly, not to receive treatment that was not available in Canada.
I'm Canadian and have lots of family in the U.S. Fortunately they can all afford insurance, but, our system is clearly superior since it provides care AS NEEDED and not just to those who can afford it. Sadly, those most in need are rarely the wealthiest folks and the way we treat the poor proves how uncivilized and inhumane our capitalism has made us.
Glenn Beck, another thing that rich people can do is pay Drs. to enable their drug addiction, which goes against their Hippocratic oath and is illegal, BUT, it's okay because the rich can afford to also pay for costly rehab...
I wouldn't travel to the U.S. for medical care under any circumstance, sure there is a wait time for common procedures here, but, if you require life-threatening cancer treatment, you GET IT, same with emergency surgery, so, stop telling the same bullshit lies about people in other countries with "socialized" medicine dying in the streets cuz it's laughable it's so far from the truth...

Pinkcrickets, I realize that the health insurance situation in our country is pretty dire. However, there are some doctors/hospitals willing to let you pay for any treatments/conditions on a sliding scale. I believe you cannot be denied coverage by the Dept. of Social Services, they are willing to provide a person decent medical & dental on a sliding scale, based on your income & assets or lack thereof. I know, I looked into it myself a few months ago. Still waiting to get approved, hopefully.

Again, this is untrue. Per my friend, Dave, who is a Licensed Social Worker (LCSW), Social Services offers Medicaid after a lengthy application process (usually six months) only if you make under $600 a month (? if you can even imagine living on that), have no assets and limited funds, and don't own a car or home. This process requires verification of taxes, income, bank accounts, landlord verification (which many landlords won't do as they don't claim their rent money on their taxes), and mutliple meetings with social services. They deny many, many people who have virtually nothing and/or have serious health problems including people with cancer and AIDS. The joke is -- you have to be destitute or someone very much under the radar with no bank account or tax return such as a drug dealer dealing only in a cash who lives in a crappy area, to quality for help-- but you MUST have an address. A homeless person cannot get state help because they have no fixed address. Also, someone who's down on their luck -- lost a job, can't afford their COBRA and has no savings will get NO help whatsover from social services.
And, being a long-time New Yorker, sliding scales are very rare anywhere except free clinics, which are over-run right now. It's obvious to us all that people all over this country -- especially children and the elderly -- are going without their medicine and care because they can't afford it and there are very few programs that can help them.
If you make $40,000 gross income a year -- how many people -- especially families -- can afford to pay $500 or more per month for health care costs? It's serious and deadly problem and douches like Glenn Beck could care less about that.

You know people, there ARE tons of affordable health insurance for the people out there, such as self-employed, independent contractors, students etc. All you have to do is Google 'private health insurance' & you can find tons of 'em out there. If you dare! Here is just one example (of many)I found.

_____________________________________________
Where are you getting the information that there are "tons" of affordable health care plans out there? That is simply NOT TRUE. And, how do you define "affordable"? When I freelanced a few years ago, I found a $350 monthly MagnaCare policy through a service / membership organization -- it was a joke. It covered very little. I was stuck with a $7,000+ emergency room bill when I had food poisoning, it wouldn't cover most prescriptions and even didn't cover a flu shot. Because the plan basically didn't pay out on even one claim or bill, I consulted a insurance company who found me a plan through another membership / service organization that was $414 a month (Oxford), which still had $50 co-pays, a large deductible, covered very few meds (didn't cover Singular or any asthma inhalers as there were no generic equivilent), and caused me a host of other annoyances demanding that I send in documentation to prove there was no lapse in coverage and until they received this documentation they denied most claims for "pre-existing conditions (there were none, but they can deny anything until it's proven that there's no laspe in coverage). This insurance company with whom I found the plan, has an amazing guy who works there who eats and breathes health insurance, and knows every plan out there. He told me it's practically impossible to find a decent individual plan under $500, and showed me numerous examples to back this up.
I'm so lucky to now have great health insurance through my job, as having a policy under a company protects you more from the dreaded "pre-existing" condition situation and other denied claims that are almost impossible to fight without a health adminstrator or human resources person. A health insurance comapany cares very little about your measely $400 individual policy and can pretty much treat you any way they like. I found this out first hand.

cadebra1961, the problem is that while the monthly costs of those plans are low at first glance, the lowest one has over a $3000 deductible, meaning you pay the first $3000 of any treatment you recieve. A lot of people don't have $3000 to burn if they break an arm.
Moreover, they can - and will - refuse you coverage for "pre-existing conditions" or if you are not currently insured; worse, they may allow you to join up, take your monthly payment, and then find a way not to pay when you actually do get sick. It happens all too often. It's so ingrained in what they do, in fact, that companies have been known to give commissions to employees who drop sick policyholders:

If I could afford private insurance, I would go that route. But I am working on myself, as far as getting educated in a medical billing course, so as to earn a half-way decent income. We'll see what happens with that. I am getting very good grades, so hopefully I can land a good job in the medical field, while becoming more knowledgeable about medical insurance/healthcare along the way!

MeowMeow, you are sorely mistaken. It's hilarious that you ask someone to do research as a signoff, because you've clearly done none yourself. You and your buddy Glenn Beck are living in an absolute dreamworld.
Let's start by asking "anyone" from Great Britain. Turns out I live there. They like their NHS just fine thank you - and I'm American and I VASTLY prefer it to the US system (and I was always well insured in the US). Yes, there are issues with it (guess what, there are issues with every system) - but I defy you to find one person in the UK who would prefer the system be entirely privatized - there's no one. They want to improve the socialised system, which they continuously do. Our system is a model for abject failure, at BEST.
And it's not just the fact that I don't have to hemorrage money out my ass every time I see a doctor - the care is actually better. And I was fully and comprehensively insured in the states. When I see my GP, they don't try to sell me some new immunization or tell me I might want to have a body scan. They do what is best for me, and not what means the biggest payout for them from some insurance company. No, I don't get to decide what doctor I see and what procedures I have - because I'm NOT A FUCKING DOCTOR. This is for the doctor to decide. Just because you saw a viagra commercial doesn't make you ready to write your own scrips and start demanding treatments.
This is why they lead the world in preventive care. And those over 60 get far better care than anyone on Medicare or Medicaid in the states - and no one is selling their house to pay for perscriptions.
Also, no one from the UK is streaming anywhere. They can get private care here too, in addition to the NHS. And many people do - because it doesn't amount to a quarter of their income to do so. If they don't feel the NHS is "timely" enough, there is plenty of "quick" care here they can pay for. It's not the third world.
Oh, and the millions you so dilligently raised probably covered, what, *maybe* 1000 patients and families with serious ilnesses and no insurance? Guess what, there are about 45,699,000 more uninsured people. Better get on that.
We spend over 15% of our GDP on healthcare, and over 40 million Americns don't even have healthcare! The UK spends just over 8% - almost half of what we do - and everyone gets quality care when they need it. Whatever fantasy you have of people dying in the streets here because they're waiting in line is a total fabrication. I don't see how there's any contenst between the two systems.
Our system is not beautiful, it is completely broken. Oh, and do some fucking research next time.
Is it wrong for a man like him to have sugar baby?? you know it is an absolutely extramarital relationship, but more and more services c ome out on Internet focusing on this kind of relationship..like !!!.sugarscupid. c o m what will the world be??
MeowMeow
one would think at the very least that hospital workers should get benefits, correct? what do you think, working to serve patients and being denied care for yourself.
and my husband and i pay an arm and a leg so that our kids have insurance. this insurance doesn't pay for shit.
tossing money into the wind. if insurance were affordable, if there weren't these "PREEXISTING" condition clauses, i would of course buy private insurance.
this is not the case. i'm sorry. i've lived abroad and we are a laughing stock of the world. i've been seen in spain for free, here they'll charge you up the ass for tests you ever agreed to, for unnecessary tests they KNOW are unnecessary but do anyway.
you cannot make $ off of the misery of others. healthcare should be run as a right for everyone and not as a capitalist business. and i work for a non-profit hospital too. hospitals are going bankrupt because people cannot afford to pay. i wonder why.
it is immoral to run a hospital like a business.

LMAO SkyBitch, once again, you're just like Glenn Beck changing the subject instead of arguing a valid point. If you read any part of this thread, you'd know that every Canadian and Brit who posted here had nothing but positive things to say about universal healthcare in those countries. How about actually making a point to support your argument on this partcular subject? Maybe you'd actually change someone's mind? My mind isn't completely made up and I don't know what the solution is, but at least I'm open to hear different viewpoints. Oh yeah, and until Republicans, who run for office based on "family values" stop their cheating and homo ways, please leave people's personal lives out of this.

And one more thing...
To everybody who loves to suck the asses of the GOP...
Did you REALLY hear what Beck was saying on the tape...did you REALLY hear how he was saying how RICH PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES CAN COME HERE AND GET HEALTHCARE...
That's what the GOP REALLY WANTS FOR THIS COUNTRY!!! A two tiered system of only RICH AND POOR...and if you're POOR, YOUR MOTHERFUCKING ASS CAN DIE!!!
I worked for a stroke rehabilitation center...for two years...which was as long as I could take working in hell for Satan...and the thing that made me go...HELL TO THE MOTHERFUCKIN NAW was the fact that we had a 45 year old man...who was admitted after having a MAJOR STROKE!!! This man AND his wife were scientist...worked at Argonne Laboratory...of course they had TOP TIER insurance...had it for years...and he was in PERFECT SHAPE...his wife told me that he had NEVER had any problems...exercised everyday...just woke up one day and had a fucking stroke...
Imagine her surprise...when she found out that her insurance...where she and her husband paid over $1,000 a month for over 10 years...told her that they wouldn't pay for extended rehab for her husband...
IMAGINE THAT!!! In that job...even though it was getting money from the governement...they would DENY beds to patients who had illnesses where the meds cost too much...
HMOs SANCTION DOCTORS IF THEY PRESCRIBE TOO MANY TEST OR TREAT AILMENTS TOO AGRESSIVELY!!!
For everyone out there who works for their money and support people who SAY ON THEIR RADIO SHOW...OUR HEALTHCARE IS GOOD...RICH PEOPLE COME HERE FOR TREATMENT...
You are the biggest assholes in the world...and I live for the day when your numbers drop from 21% to 0....
And it is happening...nature and a fucked up healthcare system WILL TAKE ITS COURSE!!!
FUCKERS!!!
To Meow Meow and ANY OTHER MOTHERFUCKER ON HERE TALKING ABOUT NATIONALIZED HEALTHCARE (and yeah, I'm using MOTHERFUCKING CAPS)!!!
I WOULD NOT GIVE A FUCK IF YOU DO WANT TO CONTINUE TO PAY $$$ AND DON'T GET SHIT FROM PRIVATE HEALTHCARE...THAT'S YOUR MOTHERFUCKING OPTION!!! BUT IF WE CAN SUBSIDIZE BULLSHIT COUNTRIES...SUBSIDIZE BULLSHIT MERCENARY CORPS. SUBSIDIZE BULLSHIT FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS...THEN WE CAN SUBSIDIZE HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!!!
I WANT COMPETITION!!! SINCE THE HEALTHCARE COMPANIES HAVE ACTED WORSE THAN EVEN SATAN THEY CAN SIT ON A DICK AND SPIN!!! WHEN I CAN PAY FOR MY HEAATHCARE EVERY FUCKING MONTH, BUT WHEN I GET SICK...I'M DENIED COVERAGE!!!
THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY WANT PUBLIC HEALTHCARE...
If the other asswipes want to PAY for the privilege of not seeing a doctor...keep doing so...

One Square:
For private insurance I pay $300 a month and it doesn't cover dick. However my solution isn't the government paying for it and mandating what I can/can't have done and who I can/can't see as a physician. The shitty/spotty coverage is almost worth it, compared to what might be.
What about the patients who are my parents' age, which is over 60? Are they going to be denied a speedy treatment because they're over a certain age and therefore not as important to society?
Ask anyone in Great Britain and Canada what they think of socialized healthcare. Maybe that's why they're streaming across the borders in record numbers to receive quality care in a timely manner.
I worked for a non-profit hospital for years, and one of our main goals was raising money to provide services for those who couldn't afford it. In addition, our $$ (millions of $$) also paid for their families during the patient's time of need -- it was a full-care approach. Americans are generous and will donate as much as they can. This goes to needy patients. It's a beautiful system that operates outside the constraints of a government mandate.
One Square, please try to research the topic and fucking use your brain before you employ nothing besides your own emotion when it comes to socialized medicine.

An email I got:
***
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the Presidential election:
Number of States Won by:
Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
Square miles of land won by:
Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republicans won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.
If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

Reminds me of that crazy mom from wife swap. Why in the hell are conservatives so angry all the time? Are they all nuts?
I worked in at a hospital and insurance companies were okay paying for small stuff but once it came down to expensive exams or procedures, doctors had to jump through hoops to get approval. Dealing with ICD9 & cpt codes that would pass with insurances was a nightmare. Many people where straight up denied. Something needs to be done. Anything.
People complain about paying for some "lazy" persons free universal insurance but what they fail to recognize is that its working class people who pay for insurance that suffer the most.
It got so depressing to see people being treated like shit that I quit. I'll never work for healthcare industry.

Does anyone else find the statement one "chooses to be poor" fairly offensive?
I have not chosen to be poor. And I'm not; I get buy. But I barely make anything; I am working two crappy jobs that give me no hours, and I have applied to hundreds of places to work- from cvs to gap to restaurants to secretarial positions to doctor's offices to church jobs- and I live in a big city with loads of businesses. I have a college degree and a 4.0 GPA. I'm going to grad school next year. I'm extremely hard working and have great references.
My point? Poorness is not a choice. Yes, I firmly believe in holding yourself accountable, but when you have done everything you can to change your circumstances and nothing changes, you are no longer to blame.
There are some people who make bad choices and put themselves in debt; fine. But there are just as many people who never had the opportunities, contacts, support, education, blah blah blah to help them rise above poverty level. Some people are struggling- i.e in the process of rising above poverty. To blame these people for being poor, or to have the audacity to suggest that every person who is poor choose to be poor is ludicrous.
Sorry- a little off topic.

My point is people like you should be able to get universal health insurance but because they want to FORBID AMERICANS who want private insurance from getting it, they've killed the reform and you will get nothing. Hey, I take medicaid in my practice to the tune of over close to a half- million dollars a year in medicaid receipts. Don't shoot the messenger.
Someone asked:
has a country ever looked at the health care that is allowed/provided/sold to americans and thought - yeah, we want that.?
I'm canadian and I can say I wouldn't want it. Even if it were illegal to purchase better health care (hairdressers, who needs that anyway?), it still seems to me that it's better than what you have now. By a lot.

Bruiser, Public Relations.
Sometimes you need to move where the work is. A degree like that might mean you'd have to slum it up in a city like New York or Los Angeles. Some degrees University offer should be criminal. Philosophy? BWAHA. I shudder for those yung'ins that pay the same tuition fees as someone that studies math or science at the same place. Good luck in the real world with a philosophy degree.
I believe I read a study that said the average 20-30 year old changes careers several times in that span. Nursing is a honorable field so you should not feel slighted for pursuing it.
TexnDoc, I just want basic preventative care. I ain't worried about getting fancy healthcare. I'm relatively healthy, afterall. I just don't understand how this country can go on like this. All these old people will die off with the best healthcare and social programs, while my generation is left with the debt, AND I can't even get a regular fucking annual checkup???!!!

Well judging by their audience many people do find them entertaining. So yes I would have to say they do cover 1. in that they do entertain. America likes loud, they like obnoxious in their entertainment. It's no surprise that a motion picture about Transformers is breaking all sorts of records.
As for encouragment, I do not believe talent is suppose to "encourage". Though one can argue that they do encourage a certain element. One that you obviously wish to not be a part of.

as someone once said 'college is just a really expensive daycare center.' and I'm sticking to that...even though i go there.university isn't mandatory, self-educated people do exist.
Bruiser, Public Relations. You know, it's probably been 3 or 4 months since I've said what my degree is in. I'm actually embarrased to say it. Sounds silly to have such a degree in this economy.
I'm starting nursing school in a couple of months. Maybe that degree will do the trick. lol

It's going to soon be the American way, for poor people get something back! Health care for all those who need and want it!

One doesn't have to be poor, one chooses to be poor. With a little education, a lot of hard work & determination/talent, a person can do anything they put their heart & soul into. You can be born poor or not so well-to-do, don't mean you have to be so reliant on hand-outs your ENTIRE life. If a person is smart enough, tough enough, they need not be on the dole for the better part of their life. Get off your lazy, self-doubting, blaming asses and DO something YOURSELF about your OWN situation. No one (including the U.S. Gov't) owes you SQUAT.
It's all up to you, the individual, to fight back and BECOME something better than you already percieve yourself to be. That is all for now...
