The Republican...J, Willie, I hate ALL politicians. The Republicans are just as much a bunch of worthless, liars, as the Democrats ever thought of being.<br /><br />If you adjust out the way we count even the tiniest Preemie as a living birth, and take out Accidental/Violent Deaths our "life expectancy" is as long as anyone else's in the world.<br /><br />If you get cancer in America you'll make it to 5 years more often than "Anywhere" on Earth. However, since we usually "catch it" earlier that could be expected. Do people in America that come down with Breast Cancer "Live longer" than, say, Frenchmen? Don't know. Nobody ever says.<br /><br />The point I'm making is "All those lying Assholes" have their own sets of "statistics." You can bet, most of them are misleading.<br /><br />The Dems say, "47 Million," knowing they're including a lot of people (like Illegal Aliens) that shouldn't be there.<br /><br />Then, the Republicans say, "We'll give'm a "Tax Credit," and let'em buy across State Lines." Like a poor, out of work, sick twenty-something needs a "tax credit," or a chance to be turned down by an "out of state" insurance company.<br /><br />It's the "Ugly" season, J Willie.

I guess the point I...Ah, they're fine, Willie. I guess the point I was trying to make is that if I lost my healthcare, tomorrow, and had a serious condition, I would rather be in Massachusetts.<br /><br />If I had Cancer Baptist would treat me. But, if my Doctor said, "Rufus, you need to have a colonoscopy, and a few thousand dollars more tests done, I'd have to hope that my hip pocket was deep enough to cover it.<br /><br />This IS America, and we really do have, by far, the best hospitals, clinics, and Doctors in the world; but, some of our people are getting a pretty short stick. I'd just like to see a little "tweaking" done.<br /><br />And, no, I'm not in favor of Obumble's "Communization" plan, at all. If it gets to a vote in the Senate, I intend to do some heavy-duty "citizen-lobbying" against it.<br /><br />If they can get the "Government" option out of it, then I intend to take another look at it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-54560211643126039422009-08-29T23:07:28.948-04:002009-08-29T23:07:28.948-04:00Rufus,

Everyone in my family has been born in Baptist Memorial and anyone seriously ill has been treated there. Successfully, unless terminal. <a href="http://www.baptistonline.org/facilities/" rel="nofollow">BMHCC</a> has North Mississipi covered like kudzu! So if i were to get sick (rather not) I'd much rather be in Mississippi.
