People like to rave about US health care. In the US almost all companies require you to pay a part of their premium. The exception is usually federal or local governments and some unions provide no-premium or no-deductible coverage (very rare)For a typical family I have seen that portion be...

I agree with much of this, and do not pretend to be an expert on the ACA, but there are some states that did not sign on for parts and thus still makes the best affordable options unavailable. Also taking the mandate away drove rates up still leaving some people out. I also don’t think that...

I think for Canada it is isolated, my buddy would tell me that on occasion you may wait for non-essential items, but that was not the norm. Would be interested in the stats behind the survey as every time medicare/medicad or social security comes up for reform it is considered the 3rd rail of...

I truly think people in the US believe the crap they hear about why our insurance system is better than the rest of the world. Why are we the only major country without single payer coverage if the rest of the world is so messed up? I have friends that lived in Canada and the one thing they...

Huh?😱

I say we ship in and see if Branson or Bezos will put them on a one way trip on their spacecrafts.

I am pissed with have to "incentivize" people to get vaxxed. To me the real incentive should be higher insurance premiums with possible caps on Covid coverage if you don't get vaxxed, without a valid verified medical exception. It is funny the amount of verification my wife had to go through to...

There is a certain mass of people,that no logic, reason or science as well as bribery will ever sway. I may get flamed for this, but chatting with my buddy yesterday, other than the impact to innocent people that may get infected as collateral damage the majority of the people in that group I am...

I do not believe my way is thinking is the only way. And if someone wants to do stupid things and risk their own safety I am fine with it, until is risks the safety of innocent people. No one forces people to take jobs that risk their safety, but they have a calling of purpose for the greater...

clearly your belief is misplaced. Current situation clearly shows a lot of people are only concerned about themselves and not getting vaccinated is what they believe is in their best interest. So how is that working out for your theory and the rest of us? “Our leaders turned this into a...

You are lucky to get your INR back that fast. I did not double this time, but added 3mg to my 7.5 and within 5-6 days was back within range compared to 9 if if just took my regular dose. Next time I may add 5mg for a few days as I don’t want to overshoot.

One thing I learned during the Trump years is insight into how he tapped into a nerve with his base. I grew up in one area in a middle class family in a big city. As the analysis came out about what his voters were saying it resonated with me as to why they followed him. Because no one else was...

I believe becasue more times than not it is not becasue their personal opinion has changed, but they stick their finger in the air to see which way public opinion is blowing and change their position to stay in power or get what they want. I won't digress too much, but term limits with...

I agree in theory, people that work hard do not want to see free handouts. And I am not for free handouts. I am for providing a robust safety net for people as anyone can fall on hard times at any time. Will some people try and game the system, yes, but we need to have good enforcement with...

I find many of of these people complaining are hypocrites and don't even realize it. As they get older with their limited or nonexistent savings that they don't want anyone messing with their Medicare of Social Security, hell "SOCIAL" is in the darn name. These are again the same people that...

I am a little disappointed with getting constant proactive antibiotics in a world of increasing antibiotic resistance. I am given it in the IV for my Colonoscopy before they start even if they don't remove anything, every dental visit as well. I get being safe, but I wonder if this is at the...

Well here is something I never suspected or knew. I had some serious palpitations that started a few weeks ago. To the point I bought a Kardia and made an appointment to see the cardio.I kept trying to figure out what changed asi would get them every so often, not o,was getting them every...

Ha, that guy has rated stuff I would not even think of. Where does he find the time.

Well not being a person of faith and trusting in science and evidence explains it, foolish me. Did it escape from there, possible, but either way it happened and regardless of how should not impact someone’s reluctance to get the vaccine. If this were 10-20 years ago, millions would be dead and...

I am sorry, did I miss this on the news? While suspicious there is no evidence. Oh wait let me guess, Jan. 6 was a love fest as well.
