Giving the finger?

[jennielynn1970]

Right now, even if I had insurance (right now I do not), I would amputate a finger if it where cheaper then saving the finger.

WHAT???? You're kidding me, right?? You'd cut off a finger vs. repairing it, based on cost?

I have insurance, thankfully, but even if I did not, I wouldn't be willing to lose a finger or toe over it. I use my hands/fingers for way too many things.

Why would I kid about an issue like this? I work with my hands and I used to play bass.

We are on the verge of radicalising health care, of course Im going to make the choice based on cost. Why should I pass my extensive healthcare costs onto you?

Im a smoker, I dont expect you to pay for my poor judgment either.

"Radicalized" health care or not, I still don't see how you can just base it on cost.

Not everyone can afford healthcare, and I guess I just see that as something that should be provided for. Healthcare, dental, vision. I just think those things are necessities. Whether that takes "radical" measures to be effective, it should be done.

Health Care is allways going to be based on cost. It dosent matter who is paying the bill.

Although, as I said, it shouldn't be. It's a necessity.

That's some commitment! Wow. I can understand why. I'm in college, and I am a fan of college football, good luck to him. It's just a pinky finger, NOT that important, BUT if it was the thumb, otherwise, that'd be a different story and I'd have surgery on the thumb to save it instead of cutting it off.

What a very, very sick man. If he cut off his trigger finger so he would not have to join the military and leave the football team, would that also be noble?

One person does not make the team. He did not do this for the team. He did it for himself so he could be on the team. He did it so HE could keep playing football.

I hope the college has the integrity to ban him from playing.
