One word describes this....disappointing.....

"If the insurance companies wanted to insure these people now, they'd be insured."

Looks like my little brother will still go without health care....

"Nothing has changed,” said Linda Douglass, communications director for the White House Office of Health Reform.

Until they've made an official announcement, I won't believe it.

The reports are also saying that the replacement would be non-profit insurance companies, so people like your little brother would still probably be able to get care.

Is money an issue? If it is, why does your parents pay for an internet connection instead of health bills?

You don't need to pay money to access the internet...

What world do you live in?

 

[Lavi]

What world do you live in?

A world that has libraries.

A world that has libraries.

Well unless Vanii goes to the library every time he's on SWRP, Wing's point is valid.

 

[Sovereign]

hahahaha.

Oh boy...

 

[Kath]

Unless you live in the wilderness, completely off the grid, you have to pay for pretty much everything.

We've established that Lavi is talking about libraries.

Mister Obama better not abandon it. I got a 50 something day old $2,500 medical bill I still need to somehow pay off, and this is my best bet.

Why didn't you guys have insurance? Considering you amassed your collections and you have a computer and internet at home, it seems you should be able to pay for insurance.

Where is the logic in that? Internet and home doesn't quite equal being able to fork out 2 and a half grand.
