Health Care Dilemma
 
With the recent turn of events regarding the passage of the Health Care/Socialism bill, and if I were faced with a, "Which would you rather do?" situation:

Accept the Health Care/Socialism bill

or

View the purported nekkid pictures of Nancy Pelosi knowing that it would cause eye damage and irreparable mental harm...



I would choose #2 at my own peril! LOL


You may have your own, "I would rather....."

Wonder what would happen if there was a massive revolt in terms of people refusing to buy health insurance?

Maybe it is time for civil disobedience...

I would rather slide down a giant razor blade into a pool of alcohol than have my country turned from capitalism to socialism.

I would rather stay in Guatemala where without insurance (with ins. much cheaper) my wife can have a kid for $1200 all expenses included than move back to the USA where I pay that in two months for my so-called premium, more like extortion, then pay $12000+ to have a kid. High quality of health care if you go to the NON-socialist hospitals.

And my salary is the same in both places.

Tough decision, eh? ;)

$12,000 to have a kid now-a-days????

When I had mine, the last one 18 years ago, I think it was $3,000!! The one about 5 years before that was about $1,800!!

Okay, you math whizzes. I want the percent increase on that. (Please provide a formula as I am trying to learn how to do this myself! Thanks)

That's how much it cost us WITH insurance! In the US my premiums were $650/mo, too. I hope other people have had them for cheaper, but that's what it cost us.

My personal "rather" would be that Nancy Pelosi come to faith in Jesus Christ and proclaim Him the Lord of her life. The political hooey will all work out.

Years ago it was much cheaper.
The woman just kept working in the field until the contractions were too close. Then she'd go to the side of the field and deliver the baby, cut the cord, wipe the child off, bind it on her back, and return to her work in the field.
Ahhhh, the good old days......
and the old landmarks......
