A friend of mine, here in the good 'ol USA, dislocated his knee a week
and a half ago. Had to wait a week for the MRI and has a meeting with
the surgeon next Monday. He's in intense pain and can't walk at all.
He's a veteran and has a good HMO (Pacific Care).
Is our system really that good?
Awhile back, I came very close to dying. I have very good insurance. I
waited in the emergency room for six hours, then two hours in triage,
then another day and a half before a surgical suite would be available
for the surgeon to get me in. It was so close at the end that he came
and personally checked on me every half hour.

So, please tell me where you would have rather been, Cuba, Britian,
Iran.??? Please, we will pitch in for a ticket if you want to be
treated somewhere else...


Ahh...Christian conservatism at its best.

Nobody is forcing you to stay here in the USA. If you like some other
country's social welfare net then you are free to emigrate to that
country if they will let you in.



More compassionate Christianity.

Booger has exaggerated his story just a wee bit. Anyone close to
death does not wait 6 hours in any emergency room for care but is
rushed right in and attended to, including immediate surgery if
needed to save the life.



That's simply not the case. Oh, and if you are really ill, poor, and
in need of an expensive anti-cancer regimen, what do yo think happens
to you? You die.


And?



Compassionate Conservative Christianity at its best.

Well, then, quantify it. How much did he pay?

Here are some of the diseases associated with Agent Orange, Loogy.

Chloracne
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Soft tissue sarcoma
Hodgkin's Disease
Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (PCT)
Multiple Myeloma
Respiratory cancers
(including cancers of the lung, larynx, trachea and bronchus)
Prostate cancer
Peripheral neuorapthy
(acute or subacute)
Type 2 Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus)

Me, I'm right on the borderline for several of these, although I'm
receiving nothing from VA for any of them...yet.

I really think the best thing you could do for your attitude is visit a VA
hospital and just walk around for an hour. Have a cup of coffee in the
cafeteria. I'll buy.

You're starting to sound like Harry with this stuff. You sure as hell don't
want to sink to that low.

Yeah, ****head.. as I am doing right now.. you think I would have a

But I don't want you or anyone else to bail me out for my bad

You are just such a stupid fucing lying asshole... your life must just

Are you upset because I advocate access to good health care for all in

My advocacy makes me a "a stupid fucing lying asshole...," and my "life

right thing by its citizens?

Isn't it interesting that you, with your claim of being a "conservative
Christian," are so lacking in compassion, while I, most definitely *not*
a "conservative Christian," am appalled by the lack of access to good
medical care for those without the need to pay for it.


"...without the ability to pay for it."



I think you and your kind pay lip service to the teachings of Jesus. I'm
not a Christian, yet I am much more of a "compassionate Christian" than
you and your ilk are. I think anyone in this country who is ill should
have access to the same kind of health care services I have, even if
they cannot pay for it.

I'm sorry for your problems.

I find it hard to believe that Jim's friend didn't receive any pain killers
when he went to the emergency room.

A week for an MRI and another couple days for an orthopedic surgeon is
nothing. A couple months for each would be the story in many places, *if*
he was lucky.

You were either not close to dying, or you were quickly stabilized in the
emergency room. *Or*, which may be possible, you had a potful of illegal
immigrants clogging up the whole show.

You guys complain of waits of hours or days. Imagine waits of months and
more months, and then flying to another country to get yourself fixed.

No, I just don't think you should pay for my bad decisions..

No, everything you say here is enough...

I am a bad christian, a liberatarian, and never claimed to be
compassionate either. You are bound by nothing more than ideology and
a hatred for anyone you perceive as more successful than you, and you
don't even know what success is...

I think you and your kind pay lip service to the teachings of Jesus. I'm
not a Christian, yet I am much more of a "compassionate Christian" than
you and your ilk are.

I do not preach to anyone, never have, I have a testimony and folks
are aware of that, I am proud of it. But I don't push it on anyone,
not even my own family, that is up to them. And you are not
compassionate, you are contrived...

I think anyone in this country who is ill should
have access to the same kind of health care services I have, even if
they cannot pay for it.

In some cases where folks had no choice, but I brought this on
myself.. Although, I must admit, I would probably not trade a minute
of it;)


I'm sorry for your problems.

Thank you, me too...
