  1. According to the sex professor Peng Xiaohui from Huazhong Normal University invited to the press conference, they once treated a couple having fertility problems and the reason why the couple with doctor degree failed to conceive a baby after three years of marriage was found to be that the husband had mistaken the belly button of his wife for her vagina!

    Great! the shallow end of the gene pool now have lifeguards..

  2. I don't know whether to be honored or ashamed, I try so hard to avoid making this thread...and yet the fact that my comment was totally not trying to say what it sounds like is awesome in itself. :thumbsup:

    Just to emphasis due to your current vocation: This is definitely the "Taken out of context" topic.

  3. Mjah: Maybe i misunderstood because i thought the primary goal was to 'reduce costs' and cover people not covered.

    Obama's Weekly Address: Goals for Health Care Reform By Barack Obama

    This week, I conveyed to Congress my belief that any health care reform must be built around fundamental reforms that lower costs, improve quality and coverage, and also protect consumer choice. That means if you like the plan you have, you can keep it. If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too. The only change you'll see are falling costs as our reforms take hold.

    I also made it very clear to Congress that we must develop a plan that doesn't add to our budget deficit. My budget included an historic down payment on reform, and we'll work with Congress to fully cover the costs through rigorous spending reductions and appropriate additional revenues. We'll eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in our health care system, but we'll also take on key causes of rising costs - saving billions while providing better care to the American people.

    Nowhere could i find: 3% a year to 9% a year and a 30% increase in premiums for now and a decade from now it should be better?

  4. Agree that that's one of the factors that affest the statistics: People who will wind up paying more, but will also get better coverage.

    I'll also observe that every time a person who wasn't insured, buys insurance, then the "average person's health insurance costs" go up, because that person used to be averaged into the statistic as a zero.

    The fact didn't average in people that didn't have insurance. Thats a huge increase for something we were told would go down...

    I think we should have just given the 2trillion being spent given out

    Total Number of All U.S. Registered Hospitals: 6000,

    Total Number of Accredited Medical Schools: 129

    Couldn't find Medical Clinics so lets 10x that amount 60,000

    30 million dollars per institute to set everything back to zero: (go back to non-profit as before Reagan?)

    for that kind of money:

    Hospitals-clinic and enforced that items now cost what you can get them for at WalMart/Target:

    Aspirin will be a nickle, bedsheets will be free with the 90$ room fee for the night, an xray will be the cost of the machine over 5 years per click.

    then we can go in and get a checkup no different than a night in a hotel or a trip to Disneyworld if you stay a while...

    if it cost me 40$ for a checkup and or another 90$ if i want other things checked I would go often and everyone would actually make money.

    right now its 5000$ a night in 1/2 of a room with 90$ per Tylenol making it impossible for any procedure to be paid for by 98% of us so there is no way to catch up. This bill fixes quite a few ways people are treated, but doesn't seem to fix the fact nobody can sustain the huge cost.

    /end pre-coffee rant...

  5. I believe costs will go up.

    But then, since costs have been going up every year I've been alive, (and probably since Jesus rode the dinosaur), that's not saying much, is it?

    The architect the health care bill said for 59% of currentl policyholders healthcare will rise 30+% as they are in plans that don't meet the minimum requirements of the government and will have to buy better plans. This is including the credits.

  6. LSF: Youve mentioned the public option a good 30x, I am glad we all are getting closer to getting this right though i'd love to see a little Germany and France mixed in with this bill in a much simpler format.

    This will probably match Medicaid in its current size though by 2016.

    It seems as if we just want Medicaid increased to cover the other 84.1% of the people, (would be a LOT less struggle in increasing staff and working out the details) than from scratch. (especially fraud/waste/abuse section).

  7. Two points:

    If i pay 3600$ a year for insurance and now i can pay 99$ year one tax, then up to 2000$ in 2016? (now i can keep Game of Thrones on Hbo)Companies pay 10,000 this year and 10600 next year and they will have to pay a 600-2000$ fine (Corporate tax decrease by quite a lot).

    Prediction:

    2016: Huge backlogs in the Administration of Healthcare:

    "We were staffed to handle 4-12million people and we have 30-50million" HHS secreatry for loss of documents/etc.

    Reviewing Canada during the 2009-2010 years on how they fixed a similar but much smaller incident.

  8. The ObamaCare bill is just another funneling to big business' as always.

    Greedy business' cut their health care plan and force their people on a new version of Medicaid save 8k per person, but pay a fine of ? (700$)?

    While us little people have to foot the bill of a 5trillion dollar deal (If you remember they didn't include all people originally as the cost wasn't linear, it expanded rapidly with increased numbers.

  9. Don't be so ridiculous and try to put words in my mouth with your "mourning" comment. I just find it a little odd when people find happiness in regards to the death of another human being.

    Why don't you do a google search on North Korean"Gulags"

    Spend about 3 hours reading then come back and apologize

  10. I completely understand that people think we are over - meddling and my libertarian side agrees.

    But the side of me that has been to Turkey and Korea for a year and other countries for weeks at a time. People deserve freedom.

    We have proven that a free people are still able to function at a more productive level so oppression is not necessary for progress.

    If easing someone out cause 3 other countries to gain more freedoms and this saving Kuwait > Bosnia > Iraq and hopefully Afghan to Egypt to Lybia etc. etc. even if only fractionally better I couldn't complain too much.

    Even if it does move a Democrat President up about 15 spots in the current top 20 easily.
