The Germans are complaining because they now have to pay 10 euro quarterly |
|
to stay in their Govt healthcare plan????
Another caller said in Canada its $44/month.
Just heard from a caller on Thom Hartmann.
Meanwhile, I'm paying $125/month with a $2500 deductible for "emergency coverage".
WTF is wrong with this picture???
:banghead:

I always want to ask the complainers in first-world countries, would they like to change places with me. I'd be happy to move to a first-world country where healthcare is guaranteed, and they can experience life in a country where people have no value at all.

7. I think you should be saying "Fuck you" to Blue Cross |
|
or any member of Congress that isn't supporting single payer - why get mad at the Germans?

4. that's why we have the BEST system. see, it's so costly, it's exclusive. |
|
and exclusive is better. then you don't have to deal with the riff raff.
btw... $125/mo isn't bad all things considered. I think we are paying $300 every two weeks for bob and i, and I am not sure about the deductible, but it is probably like yours.

9. I just had some massive dental work done... |
|
a person who works in my building is from Germany.
I was still in a lot of pain and had an ongoing splitting headache because of it, but I couldn't afford to take the day off.
She said to me, "if you were in Germany, you would have at least 2 days off"
I then asked her why she was here in the states?
She stated that she married an American and that they are currently they are looking to move back to Germany.
oh our lovely health care system: wiping out one citizen at a time.
