ParticipantMy type tends to be the diametrical opposite of your stereotypical Norwegian… generally from parts of the universe that give the Donald a massive case of agida.
ParticipantWhy not get married to a non-American for their citizenship and leave the US for good for a land with a smaller military and better healthcare? Mail-order marriage in reverse 🙂
ParticipantWhat about vaping? Or nick patches.
ParticipantNo.
ParticipantNope. Private insurance.
ParticipantIf Sanders becomes president, it won’t be the end of the world. I can see single-payor working, but there should always be the option of buying different levels of supplements for it. Not everyone who is already covered with their plan of choice (which will ostensibly “go away” with single-payor) wants to wait 4-6 months to get in to see a certain practitioner (or their regular doctor) or wait months/weeks to get a certain kind of scan to find out what is wrong with them! I fear long waiting times to get into the see the most experienced, competent providers under a single-payor system.
I agree. But there are already waiting lines to see providers in the US. My aunt had to wait months to get her insurapigs to pay for a PET scan, as well as for the appointment itself.
Perhaps the fucking filth were hoping she’d kick off from cancer before they had to pay more.
ParticipantThis is all the more reason that a Republican needs to get elected President this year. The ACA needs to be summarily scrapped . . . yesterday.
You mean “Sanders needs to be elected President.” So the ACA can be scrapped, replace with national insurance, and a few insurance CEOs can be burnt at the stake on CNN.
ParticipantWhat about cocaine or nicotine? Seriously.
ParticipantCommute by bike if possible. Or swim.
ParticipantThe Paris thing seems almost like buying a rent-controlled co-op apartment in NYC. Apartment for sale for $350,000. HOA + tax (combined payment) are say $800/mo. Tenant is paying say $415.31/mo.
Tenant has a right to occupy the place till death do them part, but their children could also move in and then THEY have the right to occupy the place for life.
So you might be stuck owning the place, paying the difference of the rent-controlled rent and maintenance for a VERY long time…
ParticipantMaybe the bureaucracy is sort of a surrogate for a social welfare system. Keeps more people employed without resorting to outright hand outs.
ParticipantNot necessarily ridiculous, if you need hard copies of most of the faxes anyway. Though my choice would probably be to set up a computer with fax-modem connected to either a VoIP or regular line.
As far as Japan, their embrace and adoption of technology is weird and uneven. I was there in 1995, and rotary phones were still relatively common, some places outside Tokyo also required an operator to dial the States.
Their phone network was 10-15 years behind the US in the 1990s.
ParticipantLawyers are lawyers. They’re old-fashioned. If you want clients, you have to make the clients happy. Keep in mind that many attorneys used WordPerfect till about 2008-9, when it was a dead package for all other uses. Why? Because.
Participant(1) Are you an attorney? Paper records are still required in a lot of cases.
(2) Some people need to fax. They don’t want to do so through a cloudcrap service. You can get a “landline” via VoIP adapter for $10-15/mo. -
