Reporting "healthcare" as a crisis that needs to be fixed by the guvmint

is
NOt informative, it is liebral socialist bias.
There is NO constitutional mandate for the fed. guvmint to provide health
care or healthcare insurance.


Other than taking a ****, do you ever have an original thought?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect
Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquillity, provide for the
common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of
Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.

Some would consider that healthcare could come under "general welfare".

One can only hope that slime such as Fritz find themselves in dire need
someday, only to be turned away so they suffer inordinately because of
their disregard for their fellow man.

Two weeks ago, we encountered a 30-something fellow who could not find a
dentist or a dental society anywhere in his area of the Pacific
Northwest who would see him regarding some terrible dental pain he had
been having. He presented a list that included three dental societies
and 23 dental offices he called for help. The list was legitimate. He's
been Bushed out of his job, he has no money, and his community has no
funds for dental care for a fellow in his circumstances, and General
Welfare is a thing of the past.

What did he do?

Using a pliers, he yanked out three of his teeth. Himself.

In any other modern "Western European" society, and in many other
less-wealthy societies around the world, he could have received decent
dental care without spending weeks searching for it.

You really have to wonder sometimes about the hole this country is going
done, and whether we really are worth it anymore.

incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?

I know an Oral Surgeon who extracted his own wisdom teeth. I only found out
that he did it, after he had already extracted my wife's wisdom teeth...or I
wouldn't have let him near her. Something's not right with anybody who
would do that to himself.

Next time you run into a guy like that, tell him to call one of the local
dental schools. The work is first rate, but takes a long time and there's
usually a lot of appointments. It's ideal for people who have more time
than money (the unemployed, retirees, etc).

I had patients in dental school that used to drive 2 hours for their
appointment...but we always did the work for free, or for a very nominal
fee.

Nevertheless, I find it impossible to believe this guy's story that 3 local
dental societies turned him down. His story just isn't credible. My best
guess is that he's been pegged as a "drug seeker" who, every weekend, calls
the next dentist on the list for a narcotic and an antibiotic...and then
doesn't show for the appointment on Monday because his tooth is feeling
better by then.

Colors? Gee...and I always thought the saying was "it's not just black and
white...there are shades of grey". Pixels make the shades of grey.

That's true, black & white pixels could make varying shades grey.

But isn't real life in color?

Not if you are a doctrinaire Bush supporter.

Leave it to the socialist liebrals to find a mandate in the 'general
welfare' clause, but they cannot even do a simple reading of the second
admendment.......they God they are becomng more and more marginalized every
day.
