In 2006, Massachusetts passed health care reform that implemented a number of policies that are now being mirrored in the Obama health reform plan. The president has repeatedly claimed that his plan will lower health care costs but not decrease health care quality. This visualization looks at how the Massachusetts plan has panned out in terms of cost and wait times.

    A. Public health looks at everyone from all over. We (I'm an epidemiologist) are concerned with things that may be coming down the pike and hit all of us (like bird flu, etc.). Community health mostly involves doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals that tailor interventions to a particular community's needs, and they generally don't plan out for "the bigger picture", although they do a heck a job in their locales, since they know it better.

    * Obamacare is being sold on the premise that health care is a “right.” Health care and drugs are the products of someone’s labor, and declaring that you have a right to the products of said labor, or declaring that you have a right to tell those people how much their labor is worth and they get no say in the matter? I’m sorry, but that’s the very definition of slavery

    Go get cancer, then, fuckhead.

    Or break both legs and puncture your lungs in a car accident.

    See, you WILL get treatment – but you WILL ALSO get the bill. And you will then become a 100% legally slave to the hospital’s down payment for the rest of your sorry fucking life.

    When any of these scenarios have happened to you, and you were still w/o health insurance bought by yourself or your country, then come back and talk with me, you fucking dickwad.

    Yes. If you have unlimited resources as an American you have the best health care in the world. If you are an ordinary citizen you simply don't. Even the average health care plan generally does not cover the basics like European systems do. All too often Americans find out just how under insured they are when sickness strikes.

    That's important because when those people are lucky enough to stay healthy they will never see a problem whatsoever just as their fellow countrymen were just fine with their coverage before tradgedy happened.

    This is the same thing as with the standard of living. Americans have a higher income on average than Americans but more detailed data shows it's the top 1 percent income earners that's responsible for the whole difference. Middle clas an poor Americans are much worse of than their European counterparts

    That's ultimately what it is about

    Don't use computer with the charger plugged in unless it needs to be charged. Doing so will kill the battery in short order. Batteries are designed to be discharged and charged. Many say batteries have no memory which I dispute. Read several pages here and you'll find that most of the battery problems are from leaving the charger plugged in.

    Well, if she's 40 and perfectly healthy, it's going to cost her about $500 a month to have a low/no deductible plan that covers checkups.

    You BUY it on a month to month basis. If you want low monthly payments, you have to cut the coverage – like take a $10,000 deductible. Or higher. That would cut payments down to maybe $200 a month or less.

    The older she is, the less healthy she is, the more it costs.

    Your best bet, is to find a local, independent agent, who can help you balance cost with coverage.

    The U.S. is ranked #37 in healthcare, behind EVERY other industrialized nation in the WORLD …. BECAUSE healthcare in the US is controlled by corporate criminals (also known as insurance industry) MEANWHILE, the U.S. medical system is the #1 leading direct cause of death in the U.S. .. for similar reasons.
    U.S. should follow examples of France, Canada, UK, and other civilized countries!

    Ah that also counts boob jobs, people having fat sucked out their fat asses,face lifts, ect…
    Take all that b/s off the list and it’ll be alot less.

  13. MrSTANDFORAMERICA says:

    here we go with that WHO bullshit again.
    WHO which over seen by the UN.

    When the USA when 1# in funding the UN the USA was 1# in everything. Now that the USA is 37# in funding the UN the USA is pretty much 37th or worst in anything to do with the UN.

    The USA can’t afford to keep funding the 3rd world conutries that make up most of the UN.

    Oh and it’s not “industrialized nations” but rather “socialized nations”.

    The leading cause of death in the US is from you dope smoking punks.

    Well you'll be more hydrated and will have more energy. You might also want to start jogging or biking, you'll see a huge difference in energy levels. =)

    They have a 100 percent covered plan for them and their families for life (assuming they serve at least 6 years), along with an excellent pension plan for life.

    They will care about the crisis if it is something the voters want! After all, if they are not acting in the interest of the voters, they will lose their seat and their health care plan.

    Unfortunately, there is so much disagreement between the "left" and the "right" that it is difficult for congress to do anything. In addition, many people (even those who truly need health care reforms) vote based on moral values, leaving health care to be ignored.

    16 cents of every dollar spent on any purchases in America goes to healthcare. In 2007, the U.S. spent $2.26 trillion on health care, or $7,439 per person, up from $2.1 trillion, or $7,026 per capita, the previous year. We are already paying for it an 50 million don’t get anything for what they pay.

  17. ravenwatcher says:

    Nice propaganda but, not useful. What are your sources? Who funded them? British Columbia has province-run healthcare and amongst the healthiest people on the planet. Public healthcare works or most of the world wouldn’t have it.
