John Yost Is it the tax payers fault you choose a job without health insurance? However, I am very sorry you are in a wheel chair, is there something wrong with your hands that would keep you from scanning at Walmart??? about a minute ago · Like Charley Brown Good gods, I had health insurance. The debt was after coverage. Yes, I can't stand or sit for any period, constantly have to go to the restroom, get severe cramps in my hands when I use them Say, aren't you being pretty judgemental for a Christian a few seconds ago · Like My wife's ex has Alport Syndrome. Getting any kind of medical insurance for him is damn near impossible with this kind of preexisting condition. He does have it, but it costs him $800 a month and he has on $8,000 deductible. I know this because of the child support/insurance coverage crap we had to go through a few years ago. I used to work at a major semiconductor company that had "excellent" health insurance coverage. My wife and I were in a car accident a few years ago, and she was sent to the emergency room for 3 cat scans. She was fine. The bill came to $10,000. Insurance only paid for about half. Fortunately, it being a car accident, the car insurance stepped up paid for 90% of what was left. Health insurance in this country is a mess. No surprise that medical problems are the #1 cause o personal bankruptcy. Yost is an idiot. My ex had a minor knee operation three years ago which led to a bilateral pulmonary embolism forming. On Boxing Day. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital. He had a raft of tests including angiograms, x-rays and cat scans. He was in hospital for 3 weeks. He had home nursing visits 7 days a week for 5 more weeks. It cost us out of pocket...nothing. Zippo. Nada. Zilch. Oh and he got Sickness Benefits of $250 a week the whole time he was off work (3 months) and out prescriptions while he was on Benefits were $3.20 per med and after he went back to work about $35.00, as they were on the National Pharmaceutical benefits list meds - heavily subsidised by the medicare levy - 2% of your wages/salary under 100K and 4% over that if you are not privately insured. I know I bitch about this place, but fuck I am glad I don't live there. That's why I got so stabby with Blue over on TCC when he started his shit about how the country could not afford Socialised Medical Services. You can't afford not to have it. No civilised society can.

I would love a nationalized healthcare plan. I should have had a hysterectomy 5 years ago and still can't afford it. I just stopped going to the gyno at all.

The Republicans would make us get a piss test, ultrasound and a prostate exam first.

No civilised society can. The US has govt-funded healthcare coverage for some--but not all--people. 46 million Americans are covered by Medicaid, the program for the very poor. 48 million are covered by Medicare, which is for the elderly and disabled. Veterans get coverage too. What sucks is that as a citizen I am getting taxed for these services yet I don't get any of the benefit. I would love it if they would just expand it to cover everybody. Why not, we're already paying for it, we're just not getting any of the benefit.

John Yost Charley, you sound like my co-workers... just "get - r - done" there is a job for you! You sir, have chosen not to work! Many Americans like you have pushed Social Security for those who really need it (senior citizens) into bankruptcy! I have more pride then you and will work until I'm 70 if they will let me! By the way, if you believe me or not my co-worker who just turned 70 just retired from our Security Dept. and he only had one arm! And for your info I spent 3 months in intensive care in the shock trauma in Baltimore Md and my wife had the state of the art treatment 55 radiation treatments without one miss payment from our insurance company! 9 minutes ago · Like
Charley Brown Fuck you you mouthy little shit, you know nothing about me and your low effort thinking is nothing more than bloggers talking points. I honestly wish for you to spend 10 years like I have in devastating pain and bouts of blacking out and taking 15 pills a day just to stay alive. 5 minutes ago · Like
Charley Brown You ignorant shit the government you spend so much time sucking off have done everything they can to bankrupt the system. In fact, Social Security is very solvent, in spite of the hogwash you so willingly swallow. 2 minutes ago · Like
Charley Brown Slow down Social Security benefit growth The commission, co-chaired by Bowles, President Clinton’s former chief of staff, and former Senate Republican Whip Alan Simpson, recommended slowing the future growth of Social Security retirement benefits, particularly for higher earners, increasing taxes on higher earners, and raising the eligibility age for collecting benefits, except for workers with physically demanding jobs. But skeptics wonder: why pick on Social Security? Since Social Security will be solvent until 2037, why must it be part of any fiscal overhaul now? a few seconds ago · Like

And for some bizarre reason they both get really pissed off and remove all my posts. You think they'd be grateful that I participate in their culture wouldn't you? I tell 'em:

Lynne Wow John you should really really know somebodys' situation before you open your mouth. Charlie was my supervisor and has many health issues and how dare you judge him,some Christian you are I think we call that hypocrite Matthew “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2. I am sure god is really ashamed of you. I for one am very disgusted and if that is what Christians do no thanks I will stay just the way I am. Churches are full of hypocrites. Just because someone has long hair does not make them a pot head. Once it is legal you will be there right along with all that smoke. Wow frigging wow you are some piece of work 4 hours ago · Unlike · 2 Lynne And Charley has worked for everything he is now receiving and you can't sit in a wheelchair at Walmart or door greet and go to the bathroom all the time when you need to. I guess compassion for one is something else Christians don't do so again very happy not to be one and glad to have friends like Charley who are real and you can take your man made propaganda somewhere else. I guess being Christian makes you who you are and it is not something I want to be part of. Just for the record Dave has had 3 heart attacks broken neck,knee,arm and still gets up on his trailer slings heavy tarps,chains and straps never complaining cause he still can. He doesn't have back spasms or having to go to the bathroom all the time. People work until they CAN'T anymore and do you honestly think that Charley would collect his earned money and not work if he was able? That's right you don't know him at all so you can't say. Well he would still be working if he could but now it is his time to spend QUALITY,SOBER Time with his family while he is able to Arrg this has just boiled my blood 3 hours ago · Unlike · 2 Charley Brown Mornin' Lynn. 2 seconds ago · Like LOL!!!

<<<Lynn All the girls love a Charley, don't they? LOL, she is a great person. A lot of the people who were on my teams still keep in touch with me. They seem to think I was a good supervisor for some reason.
