When It Rains Etc

I am going to a new doctor soon and I have to get the first physical that I have ever received.

I do hope that everything is alright for you.

Sorry for your minor troubles and all that, Roxy, but you're kind of stretching it when you consider 1 out of 12 tests showing anything being "when it rains, etc." I dunno, maybe it's because a dear friend just had all but 15% of her liver removed because breast cancer she thought was all gone two years ago snuck down there. And now she has a horrible cold because she has no white blood cells. That just strikes me as a more of a downpour is all.

And the fact is, you openly make fun of people on here who are in favor of preventative health measures. You mock people who don't eat meat (and then you get a chunk of your intestine cut out). You think smoking bans are stupid because busses idle. It just strikes me as odd that you have previously crowed that "something's gotta kill ya" and now you've got something that might be wrong and it's all serious.

Under Obama health care, you'll be left on an ice flow to die. at least that's what Fox News says.

There is just too much money being made from the crappy health care system we have now. The insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and the doctors have huge amount of money flowing into lobbying against any type of health care reform.
Their best mode of attack is to scare the populace with ridiculous claims like it will kill the elderly off. Only fools would believe that.

Again, Roxy, sorry for your troubles but it's hard to muster up sympathy for you when you turned it into a slam about health care reform. As a matter of fact, I CLEARLY remember when you very vocally argued five years ago on this very board that nobody has a RIGHT to healthcare. So, good luck.

And as much as I would like to see the part of healthcare reform that will not allow the insurance companies to cherry pick its clients, there would be a small part of me that would see it as just desserts if you, as the cancer survivor you will soon be, were to be dropped from your insurance rolls because you're too much of a liability.

Because as you pointed out, you don't have any right to quality healthcare.
