Re Good Grades Karma Milenko He hasnt even handed them out yet??? ? As everyone arrived and the class grew silent. Without any more delay Mr Francis lifted the pile of papers and began to hand them out. He passed down each row of desks and laid each student's test on their desks. He said nothing and left the room in silence as he handed out the papers. Eventually he came to Allison's desk where he placed her paper upon her desk with a note attached which read See me after class. With the papers handed out Mr Francis returned to his desk. I hope you all have the grades you were hopeing for, though I must say meny of you have really let yourselfs down!.. He said simply without a care as he sat down behind his desk. His eyes focused on Allison as if to target his words upon her. He let out a sigh as he watched the other students reactions to their results. Luckilly for him that was his job done for the day as it was their school day over. Today was all about the test results and Mr Francis was disapointed with his class and intended to make this short and swift so he could get Allison alone. That it for today class, your free to go celebrate or worry... He then announced as he leaned back comftably in his chair while watching Allison like a hawk.
Thread: Health Care Bill

I dont feel like paying for 32 Million people. Call me ignorant, tell me I dont know anything about the economy, call me an asshole. Heath care to many is an incentive to work. Without the need to pay for it yourself, you won't want to work. Certain people now will think, Hey, I can now get basic health care without working. So, they stop working. And people who have to pay for these people work harder, and their money is spent on an inconsiderate jerk who doesn't want to work. Of course, people with medical conditions that affect their work should get health care, but not from the tax-payers. The basic idea of providing healthcare for everyone is a great idea. Wonderful even. How our goverment is going out about it is diffrent. You still have the choice of choosing between private and national health insurance. So the country is still not united under this bill. What happens if private insurance starts offering better rates than national insurance? Did you know that when the time comes and you dont go pick from the government healthcare plans and choose private insurance, you'll be fined about 2.5 of your wages??? Did you know that individuals will STILL be able to be denied based on pre-existing conditions until about 2014 when everyone is SUPPOUST to be covered. We'll be lucky if that doesn't manage to change by then. Whatever, point for this is. I need some more perspective and opinions from intelligent people. I'm rather not for this bill right now and I need to know more about why I should be. and hey, check this out. youtube
Thread: Health Care Bill

I agree. I'm from Canada and we have free health care here, but it kinda sucks for so many reasons. First, the money gets lost the same way it always does in governments. Second, those that actually get the nice and fast treatments are those who have money and pay for private care. The fact that some can afford going elsewhere frees a few spots for others, but not enough to make a difference. The amount of cash paid by everyone for the public health care - of everyone - is so impossibly big that I'm thinking if I had to pay for everything that I had to take care of, I'd still be way richer in the end. I could have just saved an amount in case I got seriously hurt, and there could be special loans for health care incidents, which there probably are anyway... but I'm not aware of it. Medications do not even count in the health care system, so we still have to pay for that individually. There is a public insurance which can be valuable when you have to pay over 300 of medications every month, but otherwise, I've seen my bf pay for 100 of medications in one month for an elbow bursitis and I think he saved maybe 20 bucks at most at the end of the month. As for the insurance I had with my old job, it wasn't that incredible either. I'm sure there are positive sides on this, but right now I simply don't see it. The places where I've seen it work and be useful is in smaller cities, where the hospitals cannot possibly be so full and where not having to pay for the treatments is pretty fortunate. I must agree that it's nice to be able to just walk to a clinic or hospital and be treated as soon as possible without having to pay for anything. Patients are treated according to the gravity of their situation and it feels more human to see a gravely injured person walk in and be treated immediately instead of asking them to wait patiently for their turn to come. Then again, there are pros and cons to any of the possibilities. I've heard a few indecent things about the way the health system works in the US, but I'm not sure exactly what I was told. Something about people being charged for expensive medications when they didn't really needed it, I'm not sure. I wasn't told the details either, but we're certainly spared of some problems which simply don't take place in such a system. You'd have to play the devil's advocate to decide which you truly prefer.
Thread: Health Care Bill

You think YOU are paying for this? Businesses are. Businesses who make something over half a million in profits each year have to offer health insurance to their employees. If they don't offer it, they have to pay into the government health care fund. Besides, we've kind of had health care before Medicare - this just ensures that people who aren't covered by Medicare because they make just barely too much can have health care. It also encourages insurance companies to offer better and cheaper insurance to compete with the government's. It made it illegal to be turned down due to pre-existing conditions, and they can't cut you off when you get injured.

Section 1402 of the Amendment Medicare tax Medicare tax will now be assessed on investment income for families making in excess of 250,000 and for singles making over 200,000. Investment income includes interest, dividends, capital gains, rental income and royalties. In the past, Medicare taxes had been assessed on wages only. Earn one dollar of investment income while you are over the threshold limits and you will incur this tax. This tax will commence January 1, 2013. Click to expand... So, you don't want to tax the rich? They're making 200,000 off investments alone, much less what exorbitant amount they're getting as an attorneypoliticiantrust fund baby. Yeah, color me unsympathetic. Section 1406 of the Amendment Health insurance providers Starting in 2014, the health insurance industry will be subject to an 8.0 billion annual excise tax. The excise tax increases to 11.3 billion annually for 2015, 2016, and 2017. The excise tax increases to 14.3 billion in 2018 and rises by inflation thereafter. The tax is assessed based on a companies market share and is non-deductible for federal tax purposes. Does anyone think this will create inflation in the health insurance premiums? Click to expand... You mean, more than the inflation of health insurance premiums I've had to pay the past years just so the companies can improve their profitability? We've had horrible, unconscionable increases in premiums with a corresponding REDUCTION in benefits for the price every year I've been working, and I work for a HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY. Your concern about the consequences is not ill-founded. However, history shows it would happen ANYWAY, even if they continued to enjoy their preferred, exempt status. Now they're not able to price-fix legally, so I count that a win.

Thread: Health Care Bill

Excuse me, but don't insurance holders pay for non-insurance holders whenever a non-insured person goes into an emergency room? I'm pretty sure, in California at least, people cannot be turned away at an emergency room. Which means I pay more as they are there at their sickest, instead of seeking preventative care which is a hell of a lot cheaper. Isn't it cheaper for all of us to address this problem?

Thread: Health Care Bill

I would love to have an opt out option at the cost of having to pay for all of my medical bills from my income versus paying into a system I don't plan on using unless I'm dying. And that would be the whole point. I would much rather pay off my medical debt than make taxpayers cover my ass. Talk about feeling guilty as hell for getting sick. The biggest fear I have is what a lot of Brits complain about. They quality of the care is miserable because the doctors aren't being paid like they used to, so they don't perform as they don't get any bonuses for doing a much better job. There's nothing in this bill stating that won't happen. So I would much rather have all doctors on their own payroll without Uncle Scam involved. So why not move to Canada now that our medical systems will mirror each other? At least I can smoke weed at the cost of not having some amount of firearms.

Yes, the overwhelming majority in America only work because they want health insurance. Yes, you hit the nail on the head right there. I envy your ability to post the undeniable truth of the matter. Because, you know, no one works to support themselves or a family. Right? Seriously, that's how your comment on that came off. The number of people that work only to get healthcare is incredibly low I'd estimate less than 10 of the population. I, myself, find it grossly offensive that you would claim this. I have more things to worry about than healthcare. Yeah, I have been to the doctor only twice in the past five years. The first only because I had health insurance at the company I worked for, the second only recently because I was approved for a reduced support cost plan from a hospital near me. I've been to the dentist exactly twice in that time as well again because of that company's health plan. The optometrist? Only once, and that's cause of the same thing. In fact I need to go shell out 100 so that I can get my contact prescription renewed, then 100 for my contacts. So, yes, I only work because I can get healthcare, right? Oh, wait... I haven't had healthcare in almost four years. The place I worked after the aforementioned company offered healthcare, but because they were a small company think 30ish people the healthcare providers didn't give them as much of a discount as a large corporation. To put it in perspective Corporation I worked for - Top Medical Plan Dental Vision 180 PER MONTH which is friggin fantastic Small company after that - Medical Plan 250 PER MONTH and that was only for medical Yeah, when I was only making the same as I was before moving jobs getting healthcare at that rate was not in my budget anymore. I've since left that company but since then I've had to deal with two layoffs and my now second bout of unemployment. Doesn't make it very easy to get healthcare on my own, now, does it? Which brings me to another point, and something MM mentioned. Medical rates are certainly going up while the benefits go down. It's happening all around. Yes, I like company-assisted healthcare, but I've done without it for most of my life. I will continue to do without it. Sucks, though, when you have nothing and need to go to a doctor.

I.E- My left wrist makes a 'snap,crackle,pop' noise when rotated, I'm partially deaf in one ear from...shit that happened before and it's unsure whether or not it's irreparable damage at this point Do you know how scary it is to be hanging out with your friends one weekend and suddenly to be unable to sit up because your back is in excruciating pain to the point of tears? My friends were worried enough they almost took me to the ER. But didn't because they knew I had no health care nor the funds to pay off such a debt. Luckily a friend of mine had a muscle relaxer and it cleared up the pain in my back after a few days. BESIDES THE POINT. That is SCARY to know that your entire world is upside down and you have no way to pay for it. I'd rather have health insurance thanks to THE GOVERNMENT. Which by the way - after you retire you get Medicare so you get gov't health insurance. I would rather do this than have to deal with my paranoia of hospitals coupled with stress COUPLED WITH trying to find out if I can pay. K thx.

Thread: Health Care Bill

I tend to be apolitical. But to my view, the old and now in transition system iswas broken. As pointed out, people get free health care if they lack insurance or money at emergency rooms. My doctor treated low-income students for rabies recently and it took him hours of argument to get reimbursed a few dollars above the cost of the actual medication. Other doctors told him he was crazy to treat those kids. Just send them to emergency and the hospital automatically gets reimbursed at six times the rate a general practitioner will get. A lot of doctors won't take Medicare patients, because the reimbursement rate is low and in some places, you simply cannot find a doctor. It's just I lack any faith that our government will actually fix the problem in a manner that isn't designed to reward special interests and actually fix the problem. I'm lucky I have insurance and a job and a nice income. And I think if a person is ill, they should be able to get treatment. To me, it just seems right. Is Obama's solution going to work? I doubt it. But doing nothing was sucking big time too.

Savona loved money she loved it so much that she married a man that appeared twice her age to get a little more of it. Her plan was so perfect until one day a bastard child of the king appeared ready to muck it all up. She smiled recalling his many tristis with the women of the castle almost none bore fruit. Of those most were deformed mutants unworthy of the thrown and the others, well she saw to it none lived to challenge her claim. But this new child was protected from her magic hidden. How fair she is, how kind she is, how quick she is Savona knocked the glass goblet of the table the burgundy wine sizzled in the fire. Her black owl looked back at her a useless familiar if ever there was one it was Barbatus the black owl. Slowly she stood up to her full and great height her long body so much like a serpent yet so beautiful. How dare any woman outshine her in her own castle, she earned this castle twice over. You know you should just give up I mean after so many years you should have known blood wins the stupid ow was far to fast for the silver platter to hit him. And you should know that owl make a fine feast better then crow she moved carefully through the castle to her room. Many compared Savona to the most beautiful corpse in all the world, black hair a pale porcelain face and blue eyes like spoke. She smiled many men tried to win her heart but none looked her way when she entered. Are you decent she asked pushing the door to the princesses chamber open only a hair her pace quickened a pale corner of flesh. She pushed the door further open even the wickedest of witches was not immune to sumptuous curve and purity of heart.

The princess was in many ways the exact opposite of her father's bride. She was a young thing, and her beauty and life showed through brilliantly. She had bright red hair and even brighter blue eyes. Her skin was a pink, especially around her high cheeks that grew red at even the slightest hint of embarrassment or frustration. She had found out only recently from her mother, now deceased, that she was in fact the daughter of the king, and looking at her now it seemed an almost obvious trait. She cut the exact image of a young princess. She sat now in her bed amongst the clutter, having taken quite a shine to the more luxurious life. She tended to leave her room in a bit of a mess, not necessarily out of spite of her caretakers, but simply because it was nice to not have to be completely responsible for once. The many rumors about her were more or less true - she was a kind enough girl, perhaps in part thanks to her beginning in life as a regular peasant girl who discovered her regal blood later in life. The princess was reclining in a pink robe draped loosely around her matching nightgown. She ran her hands through her curly red hair as she quietly red a book. It took her a moment to realize that the witch, her step-mother, had come into the room. She set the book aside with a smile that was... admittedly a little forced. Ah, Savona, how can I help you?

She sat down next to her tight fabric tugged against the confines of her trim powerful body. I was looking for you all day my how you have grown she poked a finger into her bountiful bosom. She smiled she only had to convince her that she had a problem only she could fix. Then she would beg for her help.

For a moment it seemed that the woman just wanted to bid her good night. She seemed to be thinking something deep behind those eyes, but the princess couldn't place it. She was not exactly skilled at reading others, and given that, Savona was the most complex puzzle she'd ever met. Unsure how to decipher what she had in mind, she simply smiled up at her and waited for whatever it was she had to say so that she could commence reading. So when the witch dropped the rather unsubtle hint that perhaps everyone in the castle was getting the idea that Amy was somehow not as fit as she once had been, she could feel her heart sink a little bit. Certainly she had been as careful as ever! All her dresses, corsets and all, fit just as well as they ever had, right? What in the world could they possible see that was so different in her?? She could feel herself growing distressed and hoped it didn't show too much on her face. But despite her best attempts to do so, she couldn't stop herself from calling out to her step-mother as she began to leave the room. She was a woman who, it was said, could do many things that were not in the realm of possibility for most. Perhaps there was a... charm that could make her look even better than before? That would get them talking, alright! W-Wait!! Savona, erm... What else do they say?? About me, I mean...?
