A nice gentle post to calm us all on a peaceful Sunday morning...
Edited on Sun Mar-02-08 11:30 AM by philboy
The motherfucker....

who thought up the concept of "preexisting conditions" as it relates to medical insurance...

needs to have a nylon rope wrapped around his testicles...

and then be gently hoisted into the air by said rope...

and then be punched repeatedly...

by some angry insurance beneficiary...

who was denied coverage because of a "preexisting condition".

Said motherfucker...

needs to be beaten to within an inch of his life...

and then rushed to the hospital...

only to be denied coverage because the beating was "preexisting".

He should then be forced to fill out paperwork...

with his broken and battered hands...

that justifies to his insurance company...

why his condition should not be treated as "preexisting".

1. non-profit insurance
would change a lot of that

20% profit margin goals drive a lot of policy making

I'm peaceful now, thanks

:shrug:


we don't need no stinkin' national health insurance :grr:

2. The word "insurance" should be abolished as it relates...
to medicine.

3. perhaps
it really just creates a third party when care should be between the patient and provider.

4. England, France, and Canada can do it...
Our Government is either too fucking stupid to do it, or too much in bed with the insurance companies to do it. I say it is a mixture of both.

5. One cause or two?
Occam's Razor says Eugenics.
One answer says it all!
