The would be on the short end of the stick compared to the way they are raking the money in now.

I trust the Government far more than I trust the health insurance industry. There would no longer be any administrative personnell looking for reasons NOT TO PAY. If you get a procedure, it is paid for by the single payer system. The insurance companies would be removed from the equation. The citizens and the Health Care Administration would have little to no interaction. if they have an insurance card, they are covered. Period. The Administrative is between the single payer and the provider. Our system would still be private on the provider side, but they would have to be competiti

VAT is automatically built into the price of goods at the retail level. And this generally does not fund health care. Bear in mind EEC infrastructure is far superior to ours when factoring in their rail system and public transportation within the cities. Most people either do not have a car, or only have one for use on the weekends and running errands. They use public transporation to get to and from work if they are in a big city. We currently pay 18% for health care. With a single payer system that will drop. How much we won't be able to put a figure on until it is in place and ope

And this is primarily because of the absolute refusal to go to a single payer system. Take a close look at a single payer model: Who wins ? and who loses ? Loosers: Big Pharma - they would have to follow profit based guidlines in order maintain their patents, and the defense of same in the Federal Courts. Think they are worried ? Take a peel at the BILLIONS they spend to Lobby and support candidates. They know good and well how much of their 200% and more profits on certain drugs would fall away. The Health insurers - They would be stuck with writing supplemental policies, and

Under a single payer system, as per most of the EEC models, the VA, Medicaid, and Medicare would all cease to exist, per se. A Vet might still go to a VA facility, but the administration would be under 1 umbrella to make any payments. And there would be no budget constraints or failures to provide any service. If a procedure was required which that particular VA facility could not provide, the patient would then go to a non VA facility that did offer it. And there would be no budget shortfalls to deny treatments. Everyone would have basic coverage. You could buy additional AFLAC so

As I said earlier, for a couple, at 55-60, having to buy a personal policy instead of thru an employer with 20 workers or so, $6250 deductible and $600 a month is dirt cheap, less than 1/4th of what we paid BCBS for 2004, 2005, and 2006. When I sold off the various parts of our business, I had a contract with one of the buyers to provide me with access to insurance until I was 65. Paid as part of my consultant fees the first 3 years, and then paid with commissions, and or re-imbursed afterwards. He told me to drop dead after the 1st year paid with commissions. I wasted $7500 on a lawyer w

So you paid your $500* a month for 40 years, and then get laid off or the business closes when you're 60. 5 years until Medicare will kick in. $10,000 a year private policy deductible, with another $2000 a month premium. So you go without. Other than the ACA, what options are there? Not to mention the pre-ACA pre-existing denial Clause. Where do those people go for care othere than the ER and indigent care? Not to mention any elective procedures like a hip replacement are out of reach. They have to do without. And besides a miserable existence, most simply die

Link for photos ?

I still do not understand the stubborness to accept a Single Payer System will work and save everyone a great deal of money, not to mention improving the care for all.

Reminds me sadly, of another time, date and place.....the day the music died. Claption has a beautiful epilog for BB King on his social media page, .....no music, but pointing out there are really so few now that can play the music BB King played, not to mention the loss for him of a special, special friend to whom he owed so much of his own success.

So do I! The amazing thing to me is just how many of our [i say that meaning us rock and rollers/blues fans born 1950 forward] great guitar based musicians owe their original motivation to learn the instrument to BB King. Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, George Harrison and Paul McCartney, Duane Allman, Jimi Henfrix, Buddy Guy, Kieth Richards, and the list of those influenced by BB King just goes on and on. RIP BB King. Heaven's gonna be dancing tonight.......

Thanks Mojo! I have to presume your policy is a continuation of the coverage plan you had at work ? for many years, and you were able to take it with you so to speak. Ours was United Health, and when I shut the business down, after 20+ years of paying 100% of all the employee's premium, we could not buy anything but a personal BCBS for $2500 a month from 2005 until melissa went to work for the Ag Department in 2007. Primary reason she took that job was for the insurance that was like $400 a month.$25000 a year in savings for a better insurance. I don't see, or understand, the stubb

So the 150,000 that were exported last year we know of, for slaughter........just who was/is going to foot the bill to pay to take them in and feed them. Or do they just starve in the woods fending for themselves. I find horses full of beauty and grace as you do. My older sister has a PHd in Equine Reproduction [i'll let you guess what I call her occupation]. But I also find the long horn steer a gorgeous and proud animal, not to mention the Spanish Toros. My God what an animal. The Brahma from Brazil. All God's creations, as are the chickens, turkeys, and sheep [i LOVE lamb]. Now Pi

No SG, you have your info a bit skewed. The European models, and bearing in mind the UK System is 65 years old, and under funded by 50% offer: The Heavy Duty Cancer care costs them a fraction of what it costs here BECAUSE they endorse preventative, preventative, preventative and there's no financial reason to not to see the doc when you pee blood, feel a lump, etc. Hence they catch the majority of thier operable/treatable cancers in Stage I, treat them relatively inexpensively, .... where we don't see them until Stage III or IV, when its too late to save the patient's life and all we c

My BCBS was $2500 a month for me, wife and college son, 2004 thru 2007. Long before and ACA or Obamacare and they fought us all the time on what they would and would not pay. I have not had to fight with ACA except for an "experimental stem cell injection into my hip to try to buy me time for my other hip to heal sufficiently so i could have the 2nd hip done. But again, $1500 was my max out of pocket, so the $10,000 figures are BS. Yes, my income had fallen to my SS, and I was unable to walk, but none the less, SS refused to allow me disability, and still are denying me, even after

February 2012, we could not afford to pay the Cobra, and lost our insurance for 2 months. After 40 years of never missing a payment. Our Private BCBS policy for 2004-2007 was $2500 a month, and we paid it. After the Cobra lapsed, when melissa left the ag department in 2012, no one would insure Me, with my Osteo Athritis and Heart A-Fib. So we just went without. Summer of 2012 my OA started deteriorating rapidly. But I could not qualify for disability, even though I had to go up and down stairs on my hands and knees, no longer able to walk. Up until 2010I was knocking down $100,000+

The bottom line here is why is there a group that prohibits people here, and around the world, from eating horse flesh produced in the USA. Next would be just who is going to pay to feed these starving and abandoned horses whose owners can no longer afford to ? Is that something we want to pay for ? Or let the horses go for slaughter and be sold for food. Instead, we seem to just continue to cut our noses off in spite of our faces and let these poor animals die miserable deaths that we still have to subsidize.

Paulding Meadows is run and operated by a non paid volunteer board who work their collective butts off to make it works. Virtually everyone involved is a non paid volunteer. Yet, all the net proceeds still go to the non profits who are the original promoters, including everything from Scouting, to American Cancer, to Churches. And, when asked in the past, the county would fess up with what they paid for police, emergency personnel, etc. Same for Trick or Treat Village. The Airshow comes in sucking at one of the hind tits, and basically expects a free ride. Wrong. They charge

What is the opinion in P.com land for getting your Rx drugs ? We used to go for price, and used SAM's Club, until they messed up a script for our son and caused some rather monumental problems which took months to overcome, and offered nothing in return. So they lost my $$ for business for not only the pharmacy, but my business and personal purchases as well. I have not been in a SAM's Club in 20 years. The old neighborhood Reed Drugs, Big Bee, etc., were good, but they are now Walgreens, CVS, etc., and you never see the same people 2 visits in a row. Kroger and the other big box

My best buddy in high school was a pilot. They tend to be AVID, about their love of flying, and expect, or maybe even demand all around them to be the same. When it comes to airshows, it is really a special event to the aeronautical nut. My friend solo-ed on his 16th birthday, and flew whenever he could. Medical challenges made him 4F for the military, but he worked his way up on his own nickle to the left hand seat with I think 737s, with Fed-Ex. He would drag our group of friends to airshows, and for the real enthusiast it is an all day deal, culminating in the main attraction,

Why is congress, or certain members, even considering a bill to ban not only processing the horses ourselves here, puting a fair number of people to work, but to even consider a ban to export the horse to be processes in mexico or canada as we have been doing the past decade. And even sending 150,000 for slaughter, we still have had them dying by the thousands from starvation and neglect. Yet we consider the animal too Noble for the slaughter houses ? Some of these, .....no most of those in congress really need to sit down and figure out how to remove the collective heads from their c

I would not refer to an outbreak of Ebola on this sort of scale to be any sort of scare tactics. At least not for the thousands who died and their families. And the other base reason is the WHO, along with our help as provided by Obama and military assistance, as well as Emory's role helped stem the tide and knock it out. Had we done nothing this would have been much, much more wide spread around the globe, which is the primary reasons for containment BEFORE it becomes a Pandemic. Not a scare tactic by any means.

If you are referring to Interroll, you have your facts and figures skewed, rather badly. If something else, then please continue on. For the Airport and Propeller, they talked a good investment game with our fearless leaders, then got the BoC to put up all the money. I don;t see where Propellar will be investing much of anything.

Unless otherwise specified to the contrary, any contract can be amended if agreed by both parties. This IGA was NOT part of the original contracts with propellar. The IGA came later.....much later. Now supposedly the contracts with propellar are there, in place to show what each is required to do to "perform", and outlining the enumeration they recieve for doing so. As there was no IGA agreeing to fund propellars adventures at the Silver Comet Field prior, then this was David Austin and his Lame Duck Commission trying to give away the farm, with nothing in return from Propellar.
