Crushing clunkers.

In this part of the south, we dont make light of our animal friends.

Nope:

Will Bulldozing Homes Follow Cash for Clunkers?

Until she died from the flu because she couldn't afford a hospital no doubt. Happens to thousands in the US every year.

You're kidding right? That's just about the least offensive joke I've seen on usenet all year - not that that's saying a lot.

You are free to donate as much money and time as you like to assist them.

She used to own a horse.She used to ride her horse on weekends, she kept her horse at one of her brother's places.She had to sell her horse because it was costing her $500.00 each month for upkeep. cuhulin

Flu shots are $25. That's about an hour's worth of crack.

I'm calming down after the last flame war.

And every time you check into a hospital, you do.... you wind up paying for all of the other people who have used emergency services there without the ability to pay.

I don't much trust the government to run a health care system... but I sure as hell don't trust the insurance and pharmaceutical folks who run the current mess any better.

They have meds for that. But they may not be covered under Obamacare...

My sentiments exactly..

However, I have lived under a national health system and it worked VERY well indeed. The government was quite a bit more responsible than the one we have in place now.

The insurance and pharma people are shooting fish (us) in a barrel here.

How happy would she have been if the US had refused to bail out Texas in

Well, I trust them to run it for their own benefit. So it ends up being all of us little people vs the big health care corporations. Guess who wins?

What we need is to band together in some sort of health care consumer cooperative. That way we could direct our purchasing power to wherever we get the best deals.

Cooperative? Oh wait. That's what a government is supposed to be.

No it is not. Government is a collection of thugs who have a monopoly on the legitimized use of force. Every action of government is an act of violence; whether implied, threatened, or actual. The founders of the U.S. understood this basic nature of the State and therefore sought to limit the power and scope of the national government.
