medicade fubar costing states big time...Follow

over 100,000 people can not get prescriptions filled.

several states declare a medical emergancy to get medication to people in desterate need as a result.

federal government, who bungled the plan in the first place, tells states, tough luck, go talk to the HMO,s about YOUR problem WE created.

that about sums it up. after throughly messing up health care in this country to turn it over to "for profit" HMO,s, after tens of thousands of people sitting in emergancy rooms because their new HMO wont cover the medication they need, after state governments stepping in to help these people BEFORE they die.....the federal government who did a **** poor job of getting the new system organized, creating the problem to begine with, tells the states they have to talk to the HMO,s about recouping losses incured by trying to save peoples lives from the federal governments incompatance.

yep. now the state is in the same boat as the people who cannot get squat from an HMO.

there is a certain amount of irony in that.

after years of passing laws to let HMO,s create loopholes to hide behind when they deny you treatment, at the behest of HMO lobbiest, now they are in a position where THEY have to try and get what is due them from the same jackles that have been litterly letting people die by not treating them to save money.

not to worrie. as soon as a bill comes out letting the satte and people sue them in court, they will ponie up a settlement for the state so it will once again just be the people not getting treatment.

the moral majority working for you. ROFL, they will even sacrifice their young on the state level to get what they want on the federal level.

on a personel level, my mom, on heart medication, living on medicade and medicare, whose only income is social security, was told by the insurance company that she was FORCED into with the new program they do not cover her heart medication. they told her to ponie up 250 bucks of the 940 bucks she gets a month from social security for her medication or die basically. state didnt step in in her case. the help line was busy for a week before we found out about the problem and paid for her medication for her.

she is lucky. there are thousands of people who are not as lucky.

healthcare under the Bush addministraition. got money? you can live. dont? by by.

Shadorelm speaking of prescriptions, did you remember to take your Haldol today?
-----------------------------

no. you didnt buy me any when you went to the store for your midol again. so inconsiderate. and wheres the rent money?

Do those still work when the offspring in question is old enough to use teh interwebs?

You make it sound like Bush made it this way. It's been that way since before Jesus. But it doesn't mean it has to be that way. I'd like to see America get Canadian style health care a lot. Free health care to all American citizens! And dont start complaining that it takes tax payer's money, we can tax the rich!



I say we tax the hell out of the top 5% rich, they're all asses anyway. They should thank us for taking their money anyway. "It is as easy for a rich man to pass through the gates of heaven as it is for a camel to pass through the head of a needle."


Also, trickle down theory sucks. Warren G. Harding's administration is proof, put faith in the rich to invest and you're screwed. Not only did it totally rape farmers and the lower business and working class, but I believe it led to the Depression years later when investors suddenly pulled out of key stocks. Clearly its the rich of America's fault, it could have been avoided if we just tax their money away. My God, I am so smart.

In fact, lets just take 50% of the money of anyone with over 100 million dollars. How can they complain? They're still 50+ million dollars-aires.

sweet, two women in action.

As long as people like me have anything to say about it, people like you will continue to pine away in vain for welfare of the unwashed and penniless masses.

I didn't f'uck my life up and end up working a Walmart counter for 6 bucks an hour just so I could get myself rationed health care. With over 6 billion people on the planet, I am not even close to being in the camp that everyone has the right to top flight care anyway. Thin the f'ucking herd a little for all I care. Do you really expect me to give a rat's *** about some ghetto bunny who doesn't contribute anyway dieing of cancer or TB or Sickle Cell Anemia? AIDS is not my problem, gunshot wounds are not my problem. Paying for a checkup for some ******* whose mother prefers he wear FUBU to reasonably priced clothes while rolling a leased Escalade is not my Bob damned problem.

Fortunately, there's about 53% of the population who agrees with me, so f'uck you and the liberal, I'm sorry, "progressive" horse you rode in on.

What did my neighbor ever do for me? Except for parking in front of my god damn garage so I can't drive my vehicle, or have their spoiled kids screaming and tearing around their condo while I'm trying to sleep.

Fu[i][/i]ck my neighbor.

Is she hot?

Unfortunately, no.

True. However this one's married. So whether she's crazy or not is kinda moot, as I avoid the married ones.

Duly noted.

This would be a nice point to your argument had Katrina not cost the American people billions.

All so the religious movement can really take a hard grasp on the balls of social liberty. Yup that's what I want.
