16. Just curious about that "per capita" number.... |
|
Edited on Thu Sep-03-09 04:35 PM by jtrockville
Is that calculated as:
(total expenditures for everyone) / (number of people in the country)
or
(total expenditures for everyone) / (number of people with health insurance)
It seems odd to include people who have no access to health care in that figure. We spend a significantly higher amount "per people with access" than "per capita".
We're getting raked over the coals while the insurancy industry and its executives stuff their pockets full of our money.

12. If I didn't hate Facebook so much, I would. |
|
Getting back in touch with "old friends" (fundies and right-wingers) was zero fun.

15. Ewwww. I have any old friends like that on "limited" so they |
|
can't see anything I do on Facebook. They are just in my friends list because they friended me. They can't even see my status updates or photos.

23. Yea, the dude is 40 and acts like he's 5. |
|
He also asked if my dogs were gay when I posted a picture of them a few weeks ago.
I "hid" him after about a week of that crap, but I guess he hasn't hidden me yet.

Then I hid a friend who made a smart ass remark about it. I had to hide him or I would have smacked his dumbass down.
