Mar 23rd, 2010 - 10:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0i heard newly the US citizens will take Free Health Service .!? not laugh !
@ed, I am not laughing as I will be paying health care bills for those that have spent their wealth on drugs and booze. And exactly why are you down on me? Did I kill one of your relatives or do your sister? The health care bill still has to clear the US senate where a lot of the pork will be trimmed out of it. This bill is incredible. They have put a tax on tanning parlors effective immediately... very comprehensive... Also the constitutionality of the bill is being challenged by the states.. laugh??

Mar 24th, 2010 - 03:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the Universal Health System is not Capitalism nor Socialism gambling !
at the some weighty levels there should be --free-- for everybody !
my thought is that the main problem is the Economic System Technics..
not politicians.. [economists !? (includes me ) ..someone see them !!??]
bubba....nicholas...be ready...fill the form in a bank...take your card
Mar 25th, 2010 - 07:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0for your free health service which is valid merely in your State !...
@geo, I don't live in the US.. and the Health System you refer to is a redistibution of wealth no matter how you look at it... I will have to pay more than I do right now, and my monthly for myself and wife and son is already more than the average monthly wage in Argentina.. My insurance is Global however, paying 100% of medical, medicine, and dental..with complete pyhsical including DRE and CT scan when needed, all associated blood and tox screens for the most common pathogens and cancers...
Mar 25th, 2010 - 12:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Bubba !! please ! Health System is..first of all.. shoud be ethical
Mar 25th, 2010 - 03:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0socio-economic System ..can't be looked upon as redistribution of wealth
becouse the Health Sector does not deserve these excessive fundings !
under the uncontrolled and unproductive conditions !
you pay your insurance premiums but out of your self-control !?
the Economy Administrations don't have ability to manage this type
of problem in balance !
BUBBA , i have an answer for you in the articule of march 19.
Mar 25th, 2010 - 07:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BUBBA, sorry i was wrong it's not the articule of march 19, it's 18, the tittle is argentina's public opinion is disenchant etc etc.
Mar 25th, 2010 - 08:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0..........“Jorge, difficult to know??? if you are resident in Argentina, you will know how people are suffering! look at the price of food, look at the price of combustibles - gas, petrol, firewood, look at the wages and salaries of working people...it is very very difficult for all!”........
Mar 25th, 2010 - 09:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0- I live here. I know what I'm talking about. Price of everything is high. The thing is HOW high!??!?!?! You can't believe in INDEC which play down statistics, but can you believe in the other private statistics?!?!?!?! I dont think so.
The other day Clarin (full of lies) published that 2 rubbers were $6. That's bullshit. I live in Comodoro Rivadavia, one of the most expensive cities in Argentina at the moment and I can buy 4 or 5 good rubbers with $6.
...........“No Globetrotter, he doesn't know, because according to Jorge the che idiot..Argentina is paradise, the land where everybody get's everything for Freeeeee..Laugh...”..........
- Don't worry, you will know what a socialist paradise is any time soon. lol
