I understand you're not being serious, but... Dreaded Anomaly Send a noteboard - 10/02/2010 04:37:12 PM
Perhaps we all need food insurance. If healthcare-on-demand is a "right" then surely food is, too.


Basic sustenance is included in John Rawls' original formulation of primary goods, and others since then have done formulations that include health care, as well.

Not to mention that the US government runs a food stamp program, and has since before WWII. It's not a new or very controversial idea.

I have a medical costs question too... Lupine - 10/02/2010 03:08:14 PM 851 Views
If you look at your policy Sareitha Sedai - 10/02/2010 03:27:15 PM 507 Views
I'm all for being a control freak when I can. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:07:37 PM 470 Views
One other thing you should be aware of Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:25:07 PM 471 Views
Yes... that's very useful information. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:46:17 PM 310 Views
I was afraid of that Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:52:49 PM 430 Views
You might want to call your insurer and talk to them about who to see. Joel - 10/02/2010 03:34:53 PM 433 Views
Do you think an actual person would have better referrals than the website? Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:14:01 PM 490 Views
I do, and sorry for the delay. Joel - 15/02/2010 02:11:55 PM 462 Views
I don't think we'll be able to do you much good. nossy - 10/02/2010 03:36:57 PM 454 Views
For CU, that list seems to be really outdated. Lupine - 11/02/2010 12:13:06 AM 411 Views
I didn't read all the replies before I posted mine.Woops. *NM* Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:54:59 AM 229 Views

Hmmm. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:17:50 PM 294 Views
Most doctor's offices Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:32:55 PM 458 Views
But it's embarrassing. <whine> Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:50:40 PM 405 Views
I'm sure Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:58:29 PM 414 Views
Sareitha pretty much covered it! Avendesora - 11/02/2010 04:53:25 PM 454 Views
Mine was a little as well. nossy - 11/02/2010 12:46:45 PM 450 Views
It was funny, because most of them were medical-ish, but I got a bariatric center, a therapist... Lupine - 11/02/2010 02:25:03 PM 291 Views
I just know a worried person should not pay a damn cent... ironclad - 10/02/2010 03:53:19 PM 482 Views
This is frustrating. (Meant as reply to main thread/everyone.) Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:05:57 PM 425 Views

Why? Should I not have to think about how to pay for my dinner tonight? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:23:31 PM 434 Views
The Dole or hardship funds should help people who can't afford food Mark - 10/02/2010 04:28:49 PM 329 Views
I agree, the needy should be helped. LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:32:45 PM 411 Views
I don't agree with your characterization of commonly proposed healthcare solutions. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:42:06 PM 459 Views
I don't think he's mischaracterizing anything so much as responding to Jens' point directly. Sareitha Sedai - 10/02/2010 04:54:55 PM 520 Views
<3 damookster - 10/02/2010 05:06:29 PM 334 Views
As a response to Jens' point, it works, but he used very general language. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 07:37:20 PM 291 Views
Furnace? Health? Erm... ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:04:03 PM 322 Views

that's why I pay for health insurance *NM* damookster - 10/02/2010 08:58:06 PM 130 Views
So do we? *NM* Legolas - 10/02/2010 09:13:28 PM 225 Views
exactly damookster - 10/02/2010 09:22:14 PM 360 Views
Precisely ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:00:39 PM 289 Views
There are several good reasons for that. Legolas - 10/02/2010 04:48:59 PM 459 Views
I see no problem with the state paying the vast majority of medical costs Mark - 10/02/2010 04:53:57 PM 520 Views
I understand you're not being serious, but... Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:37:12 PM 312 Views
Have you never looked at the boatloads of information that your insurer has surely sent to you? *NM* LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:19:09 PM 130 Views
I've never been sent a thing from them... Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:28:57 PM 446 Views
Do you or your parents hold the policy? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:35:00 PM 291 Views
My parents do. Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:44:29 PM 481 Views

Thank you! Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:25:42 PM 280 Views
I believe, although I no longer am covered by Blue Cross, that most tests are covered. Ghavrel - 10/02/2010 11:28:34 PM 375 Views
My experience with them has been generally positive too. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:27:50 PM 290 Views

I have no idea regarding insurance smaug - 11/02/2010 10:32:11 AM 443 Views
Yes, and just in general, it's good to have a GP. But they are elusive creatures. Like unicorns. *NM* Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:33:24 PM 224 Views
Your doctor's office should be able to answer most questions for you random thoughts - 11/02/2010 02:36:10 PM 277 Views
Once I get one. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:36:19 PM 285 Views
