Everyone needs single-payer insurance

Date published: 11/18/2009

Everyone needs single-payer insurance

My family and I benefit greatly from a single-payer system, Tricare for military families. It is the reason I am never worried about my two kids, who have chronic asthma.

Rep. Rob Wittman showed his true colors when he voted against H.R. 3962. This bill is necessary to help American families struggling with the rising cost of health care.

I have relatives who are drowning in the cost of cancer care because they are not as fortunate as military families to have a single-payer system. Although this bill likely will not be a single-payer system, it will help put the brakes on bankrupting families because of medical bills.

His Noodliness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the ultimate truth in the universe. (posted by kspecial , Nov. 19, 2009 4:42 pm)   
The competing gods of Macaroni and Cheese are ridiculous liberal myths. Let us pray. Our spaghetti Who art in the colander Hallowed be thy sauce Thy serving come Thy strands be wrung On forks as they are on spoons Give us this day our daily meatball And forgive us our starchiness As we forgive those who are starchy against us And lead us not into Kraft parmesan But deliver us from Chef Boy-Ar-Dee For thine is the garlic And the onion and the bay leaves For ever and ever. R'Amen

I saw the Spielberg flick about the Pasta Being from another planet, ZeeT. The cheesy effects grated on me and lacked sauciness.

Religious One: "How's your hubby, Mary?" Mary: "He's very ill and needs a difficult heart operation." Religious One: "He only THINKS he's ill. It's all in the mind, what you're willing to allow happen to you. Tell him that." 3 Weeks later. Religious One: "How's your hubby doing, Mary?" Mary: "He thinks he's dead."

I thought I was done addressing slaviree, but I just couldn't resist one more post. Just out of curiosity-is anyone else out there willing to forgo medical treatment when they get sick next? Anyone willing to pray away strep, a broken hip, etc?
