Also, what's his I hear about a tropical storm/hurricane coming Saturday?

Seconded.

I'm guilty of that approach to the idea of NHS, but now find myself split after doing research.

A hurricane would totally blow. I wanted to take J to Coney this weekend...:(

I'm mostly for it, but so frustrated that neither arguing side knows what they are arguing for/against.

It's got such a bland name too :P

For rilla. What got me to take a step back [I was against, completely] was the "Death Panel" idea. I couldn't help but recall that end of life counseling wasn't that unheard of [unless the years of brain damage are confusing me] I could've *sworn* Catholics have something similar.

It's become a war of deep-seated principles, talking heads and fear. And it's a damn shame, really.

What did they name the hurricane?

Insurance companies have death panels now, it's basicly the same as when they deny a two year old chemo on a policy loophole.

Danny, very underwhelming

I agree. When I was insured, I was happy with my plan with the exception of a treatment I underwent a few years ago that involved what they considered to be an experimental drug. I had to pay $200 a pop for a series of injections. I couldn't afford number three, so I have no idea if I'm healed up or not.

I don't believe private insurance is perfect, as it absolutely has it's flaws. It's selfish to think, but I question what my chances are for getting a cheaper shot with the US gov't in charge.

I'd just like them to read the whole bill, if it isn't too much to ask...
