Government efficiency and you all want Government Healthcare.

I was talking to my cousin who works at a hospital as an accountant and something that I did not know was this.

If person goes in for an operation under Medicare for a Gall Bladder operation and they find a hernia they cannot operate on the hernia. If they do they eat it. They have to finish the operation then get authorization for the hernia and operate again costing tax payers twice as much then just a about a fourth of the amount more then if they operated on it right then and there.

He was telling me under private insurance they can operate on the Hernia and save them money. Another government abuse with out tax money. 

That was just one example he gave me but he says if they find anything else while operating they have to get authorization to work on it. They cannot work on it while they have the patient already opened.

Thats just amazing....

Thats just amazing....

Same thing happened to my ...

Same thing happened to my daughter recently. Her gastro doc wanted to do the procedure (forgot the name) to send a capsule camera through her digestive system. Her insurance company would not permit it unless she had lower scope done first! That meant an extra day off from work for the prep, day off for the procedure. Two days wasted plus extra insurance cost. Unbelieveable!!!!!

wow well what's with the ...

wow well what's with the pic or doesn't anyone else see it too??

what's the deal, it's prob fake, and if he does smoke, so what.

He quit. More than we can ...

He quit. More than we can say for The Bush and his alcohol and cocaine abuse. If that wasn't true than what excuse can their be for his complete destruction of our economy, our military and respect among world leaders globe-wide, or his destruction of our food inspection system or his destruction of our disaster response or his destruction of our public's trust (see lowest approval ratings EVER) and what else? I know there's more, I just can't even think of it right now. He's so evil, so maddening. What can he POSSIBLY use as an excuse except that he is still on drugs and alcohol??? What???? TELL US WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE HIS EXCUSE? Just know that whatever it is, almost NO ONE is buying it anymore. They're not buying that it wasn't him that is was democrats, NOT When he and his the republicans have had complete control for nearly an entire decade and can't balance a budget, cost us a nice big fat surpless, blew it all OVERNIGHT and put us in the hole to the tune of HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR EVER SINCE. YOU CAN notttttttttttt blame that on anyone else. Sorry, but it is a SEVERE insult for you to even try. You lose ALLLL Credibility the moment you try to do something so clearly wrong and evil. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for a change. You and your the Bush and the Republicans BLEW IT BIGGGGGGGGGG TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!!!! You could not have blown it worse if you tried but you did. You just had to stop at some point because our system won't allow it anymore. Steal the presidency and aim to destroy us worse than any terrorist once and you can get away with it apparently. Do it again and you can do that too. Then you're OUT!!!! The clean up will take GENERATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is how absolutely evil and horrible and wretched the monstrous debts you left us with are. But we will do it and you need to shut the fuck up, sit down, shut the fuck up again and again and let the rebuilding begin. It will require sacrifices. Then we will survive. Shut the fuck up again, shut it!!!!!!!! Just let us get back on track and shut the fuck UPPPPP already!!!!!!! It's time we all get working to undo your damage. It is possible but it will NOTTTTTT be easy and if you don't shut the fuck up you're going to regret it. I'm telling you I see a revolt coming. People just can not stand it anymore. No wonder they say that coming and clamped down on our rights including spying and no right to defend yourself in court and even torture. That is what the republicans see as the only way they can get away with what they've done, how much they've destroyed us, how much they've stolen from us, and still survive. Well, it won't happen. There will not be any counter insurgency when the shit hits the fan here. Americans, even the right wing, are sick of the elitists who called themselves "the republicans" but who turned out to be nothing but economic terrorists destroying our way of life. Mark my words. Those of us who want to survive and aren't doing so well, who are struggling more and more every day, SHALL join forces and take those in their McMansions and teach them a lesson that they never saw coming. Just wait. Mark my words. When no food, energy or vaccines or clothing or housing is left for the masses? Just what the Fuck did you expect? Mark my words. They think their little "gated communities" will stop it. The national guard needs to eat too and they are being killed by the thousands and thousands in tour after tour ("TOUR"??? Like it's a vacation???) of "duty" in Iraq, the illegal unnecessary unethical war. You think they're going to protect the mega criminals who enriched themselves on the blood of our brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers and children and nephews and nieces and aunts and uncles and neighbors and coworkers killed or maimed for life in Iraq for absolutely no good reason other than to enrich them?

You're dreaming if you think this will continue without people being made to pay the price for what they have done. American's have a HUGE sense of justice. Just witness all of the cop and detective and CSI and legal system shows on TV. You are dreaming if you think the monsters will be permited to go scott free much longer.

Don't say you weren't warned.

Ho Hum! The troll never ...

Ho Hum! The troll never comes up with anything new. No one ever convinced me of anything by coming off with a tirade like his. He reminds me of people who think they win an argument by being louder and talking constantly. My mind closes immediately to these types.

Democrats, Clinton - ...

Democrats, Clinton - balanced the budget Mad Vulcanized brains-for-shit. He left Bush a $190 BILLION SURPLUS. Bush not only proceeded to IMMEDIATELY BLOW EVERY CENT OF THAT he went on to blow, and put us in the hole for, several HUNDRED BILLION MORE!!!!!!! But wait they're MORE. That was just his FIRST Year in office. Then he did that even worse, blew so many hundreds of billions of dollars, put us sooo far in debt, that he outdid EVERY other president EVER. Then he did it again and again and again and again and again and again - every single year he occupied the White House. NEVER has their been a (and I used this term loosely since he is a poser, not elected, stole the office of the president) President of the U.S. who has tried any harder to sink us into complete and total financial ruin than your beloved asshole shit for brains alcoholic and cocaine user Mr. Bush.

<p>Who controlled congress ...

I'll tell you who controlled congress during all these years of MANIACAL MONETARY MAYHEM. It was the republicans!!!!! And did the Bush veto A SINGLE BILL THEY SENT HIM? NOOOOOO! NOT ONE!!!!! It is the republicans' fault and I blame Bush most because he had the power to veto and chose not to.
