And there is a reason Americans who can't afford medical treatment in the U.S. die. http://www.familiesusa.org/issues/uninsure...r-coverage.html So we're going with an estimate of 22,000 adults (just adults) in 2006. Let's say that's an awful estimate. We'll half it. 11,000 adults died in ONE...

So, we'll simply see a shift in graduates in the future, won't we? With increased demand pay will be more competitive, and students will start choosing family medicine over other specialties, won't they?

I remember something I picked up out of Parade magazine when the bailout plan showed up, saying that a one time 4.2% tax on the wealthiest one percent of Americans would equal $700 billion. Random fun fact. I think the issue with handing people money is they're going to spend it. Yeah, it'll...

And as far as I'm concerned, continuing to support a show after they sent out people to stalk someone for two hours is the same as condoning that activity. Not that I was a viewer anyway, but I don't see how someone could not be appalled by this. I guess it's okay as long as it's 'your guy'.

I'm just clarifying. You're saying it is perfectly acceptable for O RLY to send his people out to follow a civilian woman for TWO HOURS and then ambush her and bully her into an interview as soon as she step out of her car?

Okay, that's fine. But I copy/pasted some of the info because I know how troublesome clicking on links can be. O'Reilly sent one of his guys out to follow this woman. They followed her from her house for TWO HOURS, and then ambushed her as soon as she stepped out of her car. No one at Fox is...

That proves that people living with universal health care are sicker, since they go to the doctor more and spend more time in the hospital, so there!

Now I'm still curious about where the decrease in quality comes in. No one would be forcing everyone to use the nationalized health care. If we did have it, but someone chose to stay with their private insurer, would the quality of their care go down at all? If so, why?

I'm usually watching The Daily Show or Olbermann-they're about as unbiased as O Rly, so it's almost purely for entertainment purposes. And we're okay with Stalker Journalism? I'm just checking, because I thought it was pretty appalling.

I wasn't quite sure how to phrase my question right, but I think you did a good job of answering it, Minimor!

Thank you very much for sharing your opinion, Bess!

If anyone has answers/evidence on these I would honestly love to hear them (Google isn't helping me!). Canadians, I know that independent health insurance is still available for purchase up there! Do you have it? It the quality/speed of treatment any better or worse than the national system? Is...

Oh, yes. Faux Noise and their Stalker Journalism. http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/23/watters-ambush/ I'm always happy to watch a news program that is okay with reporters in an unmarked vehicle following a civilian for TWO HOURS to ambush her and try and bully her into an interview.

Yes Bassett, the Democrats are the only people starting and participating in these threads. Furthermore, they're the only ones arguing, throwing out random opinions and 'facts', and then failing to back up those opinions and facts. That is exactly how every single one of these threads work. If...

So 30>35? I see there's a downward trend-oh no, the Prez is less popular this week!-but the bigger number is still on the 'approve' side, isn't it?

You can pick the poll you like better. Regardless, your graphic still shows the simple majority 'approving' of him.

Unfortunately for you, Jill, the majority of the nation disagreed with your opinion on election day, and based on his current approval rating, the majority of the nation still disagrees with your opinion. You can call him inexperienced and post all the graphics you want, but the fact remains he...

It's interesting how we went from "Look at how much he messed up in 60 days!" to "Okay maybe it isn't that bad, but it's only been sixty days." If he's hurrying along, then people complain he's pushing legislation through too fast. If he waits a few days to give an opinion on something, then...

I think that's a pretty far stretch to start crying impeachment over. I mean, Bush was guilty of a lot of the same things and he got to serve two terms, right? Really, show me a single president in our history who wasn't at one point guilty of those things. With the possible exception of George...
