Congressman Alan Grayson Lists Number Of Dead Per District

LordOderus is right - the problem that Winstonfield_Pennypacker doesn't seem to realize is that in an ER, they cannot refuse you care, but that doesn't mean it's free. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT (or declare bankruptcy). Now, a social worker (either gov't employed or working for the hospital) will reduce certain fees and setup a payment plan, but it can be an astronomical debt.

My brother lives in a rural area, is a self-employed small business owner, and cannot afford health insurance. A few years ago, he had a cyst in his throat that required surgery, otherwise he would suffocate and die within a day. The local hospital did not have the facilities to do the surgery so he had to be taken to the city. 100-mile ambulance ride was > $10,000. (the helicopter ride would have been triple that, so he opted for ambulance). The surgery (not that complicated, probably took the actual surgeon 15 minutes, 2 hour total with setup/prep by the techs in the OR) was > $70,000. You can buy a house for that.

So, with some bad luck, you can get sick and get yourself into a lot of debt, or you can choose the republican plan - TO DIE QUICKLY.

If he had health insurance, he could have gone earlier (at the point where it wasn't an emergency situation), or if not preventable with earlier treatment, at least the insurance would cover most of that $80k of expense.

And people also seem to think that "the public option" would be free - it wouldn't. you still have to pay for it. It's simply cheaper than private insurance for the same coverage. I don't think it would ever be as efficient as a single-payer system (such as in Canada), but it would help millions of people financially.

Honeestly, I don't think congress is doing enough. Just put in the public option, but don't make it mandatory to have health insurance, and all the naysayers (people like QM and WP) will have the FREEDOM to choose the plan they want. If they want to spend $500/month instead of $100, that's entirely up to them. Or they can spend $0, cross their fingers, and if there is a major problem go to the ER and get in debt.

(I just hope I never see a 1-800-SAFE-BODY commercial, starring Justin Case.)

Bumped from 1st Class for Wearing a Jump Suit

I can understand dress code for some things... work, nice restaurants... but this is a fucking plane. Why should you put on a suit to be stuffed into a chair for a couple hours? First class might be less stuffed than coach, but it's still just a chair.

>> ^Sarzy:
>> ^rychan:
I thought that "jump suit" meant some type of skydiving outfit, which would indeed be awkward on a commercial flight.

Yeah. I believe his outfit was a track suit, not a jump suit.

I was curious so I just looked this up. 'Jumpsuit' originally referred to sky diving attire but later came to refer to any one-piece. It's pretty common to hear track suits referred to as jumpsuits, though.

China's take on the push up bra means inflatable boobies

I love that's it has clearly been faked in the commercial - notice the bra itself grows too, as in a bad photoshop job.

If you get the joke in this, it probably means you are old

So being old could now apply to any kid as early as in their low twenties?

Awesome way to eat a chicken wing: de-bone it first!

>> ^mentality:
>> ^sme4r:
Yeah, I get harassed by people who suck the shit out of their chicken wings. According to them, I never "Get all the meat." It's disgusting. He was so proud that he eats the cartilage, fuckin' gross.

You think cartilage is disgusting? WTF is wrong with you?
Cartilage is made from collagen, which is found in the very meat you're eating. And guess what gelatin is made from? You might as well call everything from gummy bears, yogurt, to cream cheese disgusting.
Such a prissy attitude; You're like a 5 year old.

Lol, embarassing overreaction.

American Version Of Soccer Looks More Like Hockey

Yikes. If you thought women can't be as aggressive as men in sports, think again...

But yeah, she did cross the line, thank you Captain Obvious reporter.

Turns out that violent ponytail yank got her suspended indefinitely.
