She's been paying $400 a month for 40+ years with no other incidents. That adds up to around $200,000. Yes we're paying for the MEDICARE portion, but we all agree that program is f'd up anyway.

I guess I didn't explain well enough. When I say how can I be responsible for other people's life choices, I mean as far as their ability to pay for insurance, not that they make a choice to get cancer... I guess I'm coming off as an uncompassionate jerk since you can't hear the tone in my...

From what I've heard, and I guess I should do a little more investigation to be accurate but hear me out, of the 47 million, 12 to 15 million are illegals, and another 12 to 15 million are legal citizens or immigrants that qualify for MEDICAID. That leaves 15 to 20 million out of 300 or so...

Now, back to the Hillary Care ordeal... Prof or Jeff, can you tell me out of the 47 some odd million uninsured, how many of those are illegal immigrants? And how many are legal citizens or legal immigrants that are qualified for MEDICAID and just haven't gone through the process yet?

I truly appreciate that...And I pray that no one here ever does either. But we must play with the hand we are dealt. Prof, please don't think that I am a selfish person because I am not...Of course I would without a second thought help anyone that needs it...But giving someone a hand out and...

Not what I'm saying at all. I don't agree that it is right for the insurance companies to do that. However, it is what they do. If you don't have control of the rates, you have no choice but to pay them(or not). I would never think that you should "pull the plug" on a child, but that...

It is starting out, but when you have poor medical history or if you don't take care of yourself then the price goes up. Completely understand that. Once again, each individuals responsiblity.

I'm sorry but I don't consider health care a right. It's a service offered that a consumer must pay for in some way. And I don't necessarily agree with your analogy of my child needing an expensive procedure. It's federal law that no one can be turned away due to their ability to pay. But...

This is exactly the point we will never agree upon. In a capitalist nation, which is what our forefathers created, we must be responsible for ourselves before others. I'm not saying I don't care about other people, I'm saying that there is a point where other people have to be responsible for...

Correct me if I'm wrong, as I am no expert in the healthcare industry, but isn't the reason private health insurance rates actually go up is because of the circle of MEDICARE paying the hospitals and doctors lower rates which in turn forces the hospitals and doctors to raise their rates for...

Ketel One or Effen Vodka on the rocks with a lime, Shiner Bock, Zeigenbock, Stella Artois, Grolsh, Becks, St. Pauli Girl...you get the picture

In the siggy, hit me up dude...last name's wilson

Duh, it's too early...

Help me out, I know I got the day wrong.

I could be wrong about the day, but regardless, this applies to our current affairs as well. I just wish that today's society would embrace a prayer like this. God bless our soldiers. I hope everyone that has faith of any kind prays a prayer like this for them.

Welcome to the greatest state in the union buddy. Brad, aka harrisb, and I are in Keller (north Fort Worth) so us and Steve and you will definitely need to have a beer drinking contest, I mean GTG when you get here.

My wife and I out on Folsom Lake in California...

Now that the weather seems to be getting a little nicer, how about another beerfest, I mean gtg in the Metroplex? If there's anyone interested, there will be plenty of hot, naked chicks and free beer. Well, I know the bar has plenty of beer and there's usually hot chicks there as well. And we...
