    how much do you pay in the form of a medicare levi? Is it something you pay for each time you get care, or is it more of monthly premium? Also is the cost the same for everyone or is it based on a % of your income

    thanx for the tip, I will have to read more about him. I like his foriegn policy views, but not too sure about domestic policy, from what Ive read he seems very Libertarian, not that this is bad, but not quite what I feel this country needs right now to heal the rift between the Left and Right

    you mean Newt lied to a grand jury too? No but Skooter did, and thats where the hypocrisy of the entire affair blows me away. You have the Dems trying to make Fitzgeralds investigation seem important and signifigant and at the same time say Star's was a partison witch hunt and you have the Rep's saying the exact same thing and just reversing the roles. Personaly I think both cases were a complete waste of our money and did nothing more than leave me hoping that theres gonna be a quality independent in 08

    we are definately on the same page, Im not suggesting that the taxpayers foot the bill for a breast enhancement or nose job, just the basic needs, but I think providing the less fortunate with acsess to preventive medicine such as yearly checkups at a clinic, rather than an emergency room could go a long way at saving the average taxpayer alot of money, in the long run. My insurance premium has doubled in the last 5 years, some radical changes are going to have to be made to the current system or healthcare will only be something most of us will experience by watching lifestyles of the rich and shameless

    I agree, there is always going to those that do without something, most of the people you see in the streets begging in America are just searching for their next nickle bag of whatever. But that doesnt change the fact that our government spends the same amount per capita as European countries on healthcare, yet we only cover a portion of our citizens with that money and they cover everyone. It seems to me that reorganizing our system as per Bill Von suggetions we could cover everyone and it wouldnt cost anymore than we spend already

    After reading some of your posts it seems your solution to America's healthcare problem is to basicly cull the heard, is that correct?
  7. spudboy
    I respect your point of view, but what exactly do you suggest we do about all of the people that cannot afford healthcare? Ive been to countries that share your beliefs, and there was lepars begging on the streets, I dont think that would be acceptable in the USA.

    I believe that we should fix the system by duplicating what is working well in all the countries that have healthcare systems superior to ours
  9. spudboy
    if the US spends $2548 per capita on healthcare and only a % of the citizens are getting government paid healthcare, doesnt that make our system extremely inefficiant in relationship to all those countries listed that spend a similar amount and everyone recieves government paid healthcare?

    I couldnt agree more, when I was a teenager we would all congregate at the Mall, we never bought anything, it was just a meeting place to find out where that evenings open party was going to be. If ID was required we probably would have gone elsewhere

    yes, China's market slid over CONCERNS, those arent actual fundamentals, just state of mind. But it does make you wonder where we are going to borrow money from if the Chinese tighten up their wallet.

    the Dow is down 400 points and the Nasdaq over 90 its amazing how bad the finacial market can overreact to comments when nothing has actually changed fundamentaly since yesterday

    Is it possible she requested a larger jet than Hassert because being Speaker of the House requires her to travel with more equipment than just Hasserts Congressional Rubber Stamp?

    It has occured as a result of the uproven theory of supply side economics, throwing down a dollar and picking up a dime.

    what about this? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16668110/ Attorney general Gonzales stating that federal judges are unqualified to make rulings affecting national security, and that they should defer to the will of the president and congress. So does that mean that the constitution doesnt apply to anything that is labeled as "national security"?
  16. spudboy
    imagine if Iran invaded and occupied Mexico in the name of national security then set up a government that was friendly to them and contrary to the US, then publicly declared that they want this government to spread to the US and completly change our way of life, and then proceeded to tell the US that what is going on in Mexico is none of our business. No matter how ridiculous that sounds, that is what we have done to Iran. Untill we find a way to involve them in the solution, they are going to continue to be a major part of the problem. They definatly have the recources and the desire to constinue as long as we do. I also have an alternative plan, which is to set up internet cafe's all over Iraq and provide them with unlimited access to free porn. This would attract the same age group of males that the insurgency does and they would be too busy with their hands to take time to build IED's

    could this be considered a benchmark towards Victory

    in 1994 starr was appointed to investigate whitewater, how that turned into so many unrelated issues is what is so pathetic, regardless of all the other allegations youve listed, the bottom line is Clinton got bj, get over it. Im very interested to see what investigations into how our tax dollars have been spent in iraq turn up. With our leaders spending over a billion$ a day over there someones going to certainly get caught with their dick hanging out for sure.
  19. spudboy
    I understand that clinton manipulating the truth about a bj is far more serious than anything the current administration has or ever will do, but can anyone explain to me how an investigation into a failed savings and loan resulted in the POTUS being required to discuss his sex life under oath?
  20. spudboy
    Its not worth the trouble, with less than 2 years left of their terms its almost pointless, maybe after their out of office they could tried in Iraq for crimes against humanity

    out of curiosity can you give the results of the tests?
  22. spudboy
    I lived in Northridge at the time of the quake, there was over $100,000 damage to my home, fortunately my insurance covered my losses, insurance does not cover floods like the one in NO, if you did not die in the quake then it is absolutely ludicrous for you to compare your experience to that of the people in NO, where there was complete devastation rather than a major incovenience
  23. spudboy
    you forgot to mention all the native americans that took part in the US Civil war, but I would be more inclined to compare France and the UK's involvement to that of Iran and Syria's medling in our war in Iraq
  24. spudboy
    I agree with you completely, it also highlights a major difference between the two wars, because during our civil war there was no foriegn nation caught up between us.
  25. spudboy
    as far as I know, Iraq was not engaged in a civil war before we got there, so you would need to refer to it as a new war. The possitive result that most people are looking for is an economic and military independence from the USA, that just doesnt appear to happening anytime soon.
