Government run health care

[caseysmom]

I try and not make decisions or judgements about how others live their life. It is enough to take care of my own. There are lots of things I might like to see other people do but I am just thinking they are probably not interested in my opinion. I think people who have 19 children are...well whatever.

...do you have an explanation for quoting from a blog that is totally and completely racist and offensive??

Is that something that should be experienced as well?

This is the key to the whole thing to me, your first sentence is how I believe we should all live our lives.

There is something in this recent discussion that is bothering me.

There was a thread in the last couple of weeks about a celebrity who was being blackmailed.

One poster referred to the son of this celebrity using a pejorative - because the parents were not married at the time of the child's birth. I tried to respond using the same pejorative for the grandson of a recently failed politician. But I just could not hit the enter key.

I don't think children should be labeled because of their parents. I don't think this dated word should be used today. It is demeaning and irrelevant.

I thought someone else would say something. But no one did. And I wonder why?

I was going to say something. But, then, I would have been told I was being 'defensive' or 'angry'. It is like arguing with some one that says, "you just like to argue". Any thing you say after that point seems suspect. So, I said nothing.

I do think it funny that when the rest of you "pure" (i.e., married, married with children, etc. You know, the 'right' way, LOL) people jumped in and expressed dismay at some of the comments posted that I didn't hear the 'why are you so defensive' or 'why are you so mad/angry' responses.

These types of comments are really offensive- no matter what someone's orientation.

What do insurance companies and Goldilocks have in common....

Not too big...not too small!

Earlier I posted about an infant who was turned down for insurance coverage (until his parents took their case to the MSM) for being too big.

Now here is a case of a child turned down for insurance coverage (until her parents took their case to the MSM) for being too small!

Too Small

And some people wonder why we need reform???

The running theme Im seeing isnt that we need HCR , but we need Health Insurance Reform. But just reforming the HI business doesnt let .gov into the racket.

Dude.

The whole point about HCR and HIR is money.

The current regime just want to create more paperwork..lol, sorry, we are going paperless!!!...money and forms to fill out.

A week ago I saw that some phone users lost all the info on their phones because of a computer glitch.

People care more about their cell phone apps and info so why would they GAS about their medical records.


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......

Everyone had a paranoia about having their computers tossed by the government but have no worries about hackers stealing their MRs???

Next time you go to an ER or see the doc take a second to ask about your 'face sheet' on your account.

Age, weight, DOB, job, address, phone numbers, SSN, kids, I could get their info from that- I can get all you operations, doctor's notes....."Doc, My XXXX hurts when I XXXXXX.

If you think that you info is safe on line? You should see the stuff that the employees 'peek and leak' about your personal info.

And it's all there, at the touch of a button.

I always have to chuckle at people who are afraid of change.

The only thing that makes electronic medical records "more easy" to access is that electronic records are more legible. Handwritten records are notoriously prone to error because of bad handwriting. Sometimes even the people who are suppose to read them cannot.

Files left unlocked, documents left on copy machines, misfilings, etc. etc.

I have worked with "paper" personnel files for 30 years and know what all can go wrong.

People just need to get over "we've always done it that way" and their fear of change!
