And what happens next? What happens if those systems turn out to be a blood clot or cancer? What does she do then eh?


There are a variety of options, as Brian said. The blood clot would likely have been treated right there if it was a danger to her.

None of which changes the fact that what you said about your friend being denied treatment in the emergency room is completely false.


Indeed. Thank you for correcting my specific example where I was in the wrong without contradicting my point. I appreciate it.

I don't think the mistrust of the government is really all that overblown Brian - 03/09/2009 05:04:34 AM 576 Views
It's advanced beyond what it was during the Revolution, I think. Joel - 03/09/2009 05:18:22 AM 619 Views
I would say it's grown with the government Brian - 03/09/2009 05:23:52 AM 603 Views
The key is that government shouldn't be heavily involved in personal lives. Joel - 03/09/2009 05:58:39 AM 627 Views

How much more can we really tax the wealthy?? Brian - 03/09/2009 04:41:14 AM 505 Views
Sadly, I think going back to the Clinton rates would help Tom - 03/09/2009 04:42:54 AM 494 Views
I'm ok with that....not super excited....but ok with it Brian - 03/09/2009 04:57:32 AM 501 Views
A lot; before Reagans "reforms" we already taxed them less than any other industrialized state did. Joel - 03/09/2009 05:06:00 AM 623 Views
I'm in the lower-middle class tax bracket Brian - 03/09/2009 05:13:39 AM 547 Views

Nice non-answer answer..... trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 05:52:04 AM 585 Views
You want detailed answers that require detailed data I don't have. Joel - 03/09/2009 06:06:55 AM 640 Views

It's statistically insignificant and your hyperbole is reminiscent of screaming guests on CNN. Сталин - 04/09/2009 02:07:31 PM 480 Views

That would be open to definition, and should change with inflation. Joel - 03/09/2009 05:13:02 AM 733 Views
What is your justification for taking over 50% of anyone's income? trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 05:28:22 AM 657 Views
That's a good example of why I say the rate has to be set to cost of living. Joel - 03/09/2009 05:50:16 AM 700 Views
Still no comment on the fact that 40% of Americans don't pay any income taxes? trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 02:32:12 PM 625 Views
To what 40% do you refer? Joel - 03/09/2009 02:42:55 PM 485 Views

No one "gets money from the IRS. " Joel - 04/09/2009 02:55:02 AM 539 Views
Actually with EIC you can get money back that you never paid in. Brian - 04/09/2009 02:56:43 AM 514 Views
It MIGHT be possible with the EIC, but in practice few people get more than they paid. Joel - 04/09/2009 03:43:36 AM 556 Views
I don't know, I've known plenty of people that have gotten more back than they paid in Brian - 04/09/2009 03:46:29 AM 648 Views

It is only for the WORKING poor, yes. Сталин - 04/09/2009 02:12:55 PM 507 Views
