No TV here. Whassup?

2. It's about emergency rooms

They showed one Hospital in Denver that was screening people out.

6. Of course you know...

That if we went to a single payer system, we would watch our health services fall apart before our very eyes. People wouldn't be able to get care. :eyes:

3. John Q

Someday the health care crisis will reach the breaking point and we will have something like what happened in the movie "John Q".

8. WILL reach the breaking point?

It's gone past it for me.

Cannot afford insurance

Although my income is below the poverty line, I make too much money to qualify for Medicaid

Medicare pays for squat. And even if it did, doctors in my area will not accept Medicare patients

I've gone natural - if I get sicker, I die

4. Yep, Now If You're Poor, And Sick Or Injured, You Can Just Go Die !!!

Welcome to the shining city on the hill!!!

FUCK YOU, REPUBLICANS!!!

:grr::nuke::mad:

Thanks for the heads-up Carlos, and sorry about the job man!!!

Peace!

5. universal health care

how about having a family provider so people aren't driven into ED's for chronic problems gone bad?

7. My friend in Poland is going into the hospital next week.

He will be there for up to two weeks. It will cost him nothing. Zero, Zip.

If I was in the hospital here for two weeks, just my share would bankrupt me.
