Oh man, I need that shirt!

All this talk of getting treated now.n and paying later... I'm assuming you are talking about emergency room visits? Like a gunshot wound or a heart attack? What about cancer?

Really? Like what?

Um, I just thought they would both be funny drunk. Who's into gay porn? Worry about the money later? Ok.

I think somebody is taking this a little more serious than I...

Fuck that, we need to get Billy and Eaphan drunk and tape it.

Are you guys new? Every other day there is a thread like this...

I know it wasn't intended this way, but that is a great selling point: "Come to the United States, where our hospitals are incredible, but you are likely to get shot dead."

So, the hospitals get to keep more of the money in the US? I guess I can see how a Doctor would prefer to work in the US given that it is easier to get work. From the perspective of the citizen though, I think our way is preferable... or at least to the middle/lower class. Why?

From what I've seen and heard it is, but I'm not everywhere, so you very well could be right. As for the residency positions stuff, I don't really know anything about that, so I'll take your word for it. Sounds like a stupid move though, I wonder what their rational is?

Looks like you're getting started to me.

Like what? *sigh* Of course I understand the distinction. What I can't understand is how someone could possibly live without medical coverage. One visit to the hospital and you are in the poor house, no thanks. This is why I see no difference between the two... a tax, or a fee that you can choose to pay, but if you don't then you're fucked. Sorry, Canada isn't ethnically diverse? [it is quite possible I am misunderstanding what you were saying there as there were quite a few big words. ] Yep, it was a problem for a while there, and guess what? They used our tax dollars to fix it.

I've never had a problem with the hospitals here, and have had sick relatives who all received great treatment. Ok, but then you pay for it, so I fail to see how that is any different than paying taxes. Fair enough. I think your other post was poorly worded in that case. Cool, costs money though right? Man, this is a hot topic, though the discussion has veered a bit... every time I try to post there are 2-3 new posts to check.

You don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about. As for US hospitals being 'teh best', I'm sure some of them are. You've got a lot of people down there, and private businesses love to make money. Unless I am missing something, you don't have medical coverage.

I don't read fark, so your joke [i'm sure it was a good one] is lost on me.

I like whiskey too much for my own good.

Bah, she could have had it done in Canada. I don't think one rich woman getting treatment in the US can be taken as any kind of slight against the Canadian medical system as a whole. huh?

yeah, but medical coverage doesn't

That would be a bad scene for me.

My money is now worth more than yours. Fear me.

I'll get my friend Renato to post here about his aikido and how he has it configured.

I've heard the aikido and it is very nice, though I've not directly compared to the supra. I would imagine that with good quality parts the aikido would come out on top given that its design has a couple advantages over the supra. That is a pure guess though, so take it with a grain of salt.

He bought it quite a while ago... I think he is looking to sell it again though, if he hasn't already.

Copper cored silver wires? That's weird...
