In all honesty.... Brian Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 05:18:23 AM
They stay in the hospital until they're well enough to be discharged.....if it's something that's going to be a chronic thing, then they are usually stuck going to the emergency room everytime they are sick enough to need care, or they'll be relegated to free clinics.

For Europeans who don't understand why Americans are against ObamaCare Tom - 03/09/2009 04:24:35 AM 1259 Views
I'd be happy to tax top "earners" more and suffer Europes economic "collapse. " Joel - 03/09/2009 04:30:31 AM 729 Views
The US will never work with socialism. Tom - 03/09/2009 04:40:21 AM 796 Views
Re: The US will never work with socialism. Joel - 03/09/2009 04:58:47 AM 782 Views
I don't think the mistrust of the government is really all that overblown Brian - 03/09/2009 05:04:34 AM 715 Views
It's advanced beyond what it was during the Revolution, I think. Joel - 03/09/2009 05:18:22 AM 754 Views
I would say it's grown with the government Brian - 03/09/2009 05:23:52 AM 735 Views
The key is that government shouldn't be heavily involved in personal lives. Joel - 03/09/2009 05:58:39 AM 766 Views

Re: The US will never work with socialism. Kylia Skydancer - 04/09/2009 03:28:24 AM 839 Views
How much more can we really tax the wealthy?? Brian - 03/09/2009 04:41:14 AM 640 Views
Sadly, I think going back to the Clinton rates would help Tom - 03/09/2009 04:42:54 AM 618 Views
I'm ok with that....not super excited....but ok with it Brian - 03/09/2009 04:57:32 AM 639 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 757 Views
I'm in the lower-middle class tax bracket Brian - 03/09/2009 05:13:39 AM 683 Views
It's both, IMHO. Joel - 03/09/2009 05:29:41 AM 607 Views
I hear a lot of socialism coming from you..... trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 05:19:08 AM 620 Views
Re: I hear a lot of socialism coming from you..... Joel - 03/09/2009 05:40:32 AM 703 Views
Nice non-answer answer..... trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 05:52:04 AM 713 Views
You want detailed answers that require detailed data I don't have. Joel - 03/09/2009 06:06:55 AM 770 Views
Here are some facts and analyses..... trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 02:40:22 PM 822 Views
The Heritage Foundation, huh? Joel - 03/09/2009 03:01:17 PM 828 Views
The non-working wealthy? Please quantify..... trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 03:31:58 PM 788 Views
So you accept the CBOs assessment the House healthcare bill will be $1 trillion over the next decade Joel - 04/09/2009 03:02:13 AM 703 Views
Wow, that was one of the dumbest posts I have ever read..... trzaska2000 - 05/09/2009 05:42:45 AM 743 Views
So you're saying you DON'T proofread...? Joel - 05/09/2009 05:59:49 AM 868 Views

Re: You're so full of shit on this issue I don't know where to begin. Joel - 04/09/2009 03:59:21 AM 889 Views
Less than 200 people were said to be US persons with Swiss accounts Сталин - 04/09/2009 04:16:24 AM 692 Views
And yet account for many millions of dollars; what does that say...? Joel - 04/09/2009 04:21:57 AM 684 Views
It's statistically insignificant and your hyperbole is reminiscent of screaming guests on CNN. Сталин - 04/09/2009 02:07:31 PM 620 Views
Well, look at this way: Joel - 04/09/2009 02:24:03 PM 748 Views
That's not a solution. Сталин - 05/09/2009 02:39:12 AM 750 Views
The Soviets weren't socialist, or even communist, so it's a false comparison. Joel - 05/09/2009 03:09:06 AM 699 Views
Okay, now you've just gone into Kool-aid drinking territory. Сталин - 05/09/2009 04:32:07 AM 816 Views
Communist THEORY is predicated on democratic participation at every level,totally absent in the USSR Joel - 05/09/2009 04:55:00 AM 939 Views
FINALLY!!! Kylia Skydancer - 07/09/2009 10:22:53 AM 730 Views
Ever heard of the 20-80 rule? Kylia Skydancer - 04/09/2009 04:28:54 AM 613 Views
Yes, and 90% of people are idiots. Сталин - 05/09/2009 02:41:35 AM 916 Views
Re: Yes, and 90% of people are idiots. Kylia Skydancer - 07/09/2009 10:09:30 AM 735 Views
Top earners? Please define.....what income and how much more? *NM* trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 04:52:25 AM 489 Views
That would be open to definition, and should change with inflation. Joel - 03/09/2009 05:13:02 AM 870 Views
What is your justification for taking over 50% of anyone's income? trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 05:28:22 AM 810 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 832 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 753 Views
To what 40% do you refer? Joel - 03/09/2009 02:42:55 PM 613 Views
Dude, you are not making this easy..... trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 03:38:01 PM 653 Views
No one "gets money from the IRS. " Joel - 04/09/2009 02:55:02 AM 660 Views
Actually with EIC you can get money back that you never paid in. Brian - 04/09/2009 02:56:43 AM 651 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 704 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 783 Views
A neat trick then. Joel - 04/09/2009 04:09:58 AM 779 Views
To be fair Brian - 04/09/2009 04:50:20 AM 715 Views
Ah, gotcha. Joel - 04/09/2009 04:53:58 AM 731 Views
Yet another example of your ignorance on tax policy. Tom - 04/09/2009 03:19:39 AM 602 Views
The word I notice is "welfare" Kylia Skydancer - 04/09/2009 03:57:01 AM 715 Views
I wouldn't say that's what it means.... Brian - 04/09/2009 04:02:40 AM 721 Views
It's what welfare means to me... Kylia Skydancer - 04/09/2009 04:32:17 AM 729 Views
I was just talking about EIC as a form of welfare, not welfare welfare. *NM* Brian - 04/09/2009 04:45:13 AM 419 Views
yes, I get that now. *NM* Kylia Skydancer - 04/09/2009 05:02:53 AM 405 Views
*NM* Brian - 04/09/2009 05:14:01 AM 400 Views
Not necessarily Сталин - 04/09/2009 04:11:41 AM 650 Views
*shrugs* I have a soft heart. *NM* Kylia Skydancer - 04/09/2009 04:30:52 AM 412 Views
It's a credit for people who file a return on income that's been taxed. Joel - 04/09/2009 04:19:57 AM 656 Views
It is only for the WORKING poor, yes. Сталин - 04/09/2009 02:12:55 PM 644 Views
Mean it may be, but hardly illegal. Joel - 04/09/2009 02:31:16 PM 671 Views
How does the business benefit? Сталин - 04/09/2009 04:54:27 PM 673 Views
I didn't realize you meant literal withholding. Joel - 05/09/2009 03:03:32 AM 692 Views
That's a no-no, Joel AgentOrange - 03/09/2009 07:32:03 AM 657 Views
Europe impresses me for one simple reason: Joel - 03/09/2009 09:21:28 AM 708 Views
No real comments, just 100% agree with you....plus the $12 trillion is terrifying to me. *NM* Brian - 03/09/2009 04:33:39 AM 308 Views
If that scares you, check this out! trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 04:48:56 AM 798 Views
Excellent post - the US government is not capable of running HC..... trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 04:40:19 AM 602 Views
There is one thing the government did right Tom - 03/09/2009 04:41:36 AM 712 Views
The bailout, some of it, was necessary..... trzaska2000 - 03/09/2009 04:51:03 AM 714 Views
I still think it was too one sided. Joel - 03/09/2009 05:21:45 AM 745 Views
It depends on your level of cynicism nossy - 03/09/2009 05:38:53 AM 772 Views

In fairness, most Europeans don't seem to realize what ObamaCare is. Legolas - 03/09/2009 02:34:01 PM 747 Views
What makes you think we do? nossy - 03/09/2009 09:11:06 PM 759 Views
Oh, you don't either. I thought that went without saying. *NM* Legolas - 03/09/2009 09:25:54 PM 412 Views
As far as most people I know are concerned, opposition to ObamaCare isn't the issue. Rebekah - 03/09/2009 11:04:36 PM 837 Views
It's hard not to be horrified with a government as wasteful as ours Brian - 03/09/2009 11:24:59 PM 613 Views
I can understand horror of governments. Rebekah - 03/09/2009 11:30:23 PM 610 Views
