We don't have a government-run health care sysem. We have a government program that subsidizes individuals who are senior or disabled to use one of several choices of insurance plans and pay a low monthly premiums plus 20-30 percent of the costs. That is a combination of government subsidy, out of pocket pay and provided by the PPO or HMO private insurance company. Answered By: Flower - 3/20/2010

You are wrong in saying the government is taking over health care! Did you not read anything! Everyone will still go through private insurance companies. Are you really that uninformed? And what about the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) release on March 18, 2010? Did you NOT see that....or do you chose to continue to be a parrot? CBO: Health care reform cuts deficit by $1.3 trillion Why must you people repeat the lies of the right-wing nuts?

As opposed to private run health care which can jack up the prices whenever they want, refuse to cover certain necessary medical treatments, and refuse to cover anyone with a preexisting condition? I am not saying I am 100?or a government run health care system. But, I am 100?or making tougher rules for insurance companies and/or introducing something comprehensive which would force insurance companies to be more competitive and willing to cover more Americans. The status quo just hasn't worked. Answered By: Jennifer - 3/19/2010

Medicare is broke because its underfunded, its not hard to understand. If you don't understand it by now you never will. People have listed all their reasons for wanting HC reform but none of those seem to be valid to those who oppose it. Cons are especially guilty of this. anything people say in support of HC reform is dismissed as hand outs, socialism, communism, fascism, even nazism. to Cons, anyone who supports the bill is lazy, or illegal. Long story short, people want health care to change because it doesn't work. private health care has failed millions of Americans who deserve to have insurance. Answered By: Politi-whore - 3/19/2010

Medicare is financially ruined because it pays primarily for the elderly; they happen to spend a lot on their health care, by the way. If everyone was in medicare, the money coming in and going out would balance out, more or less. Answered By: Dok - 3/19/2010

Medicare is not broken but serves millions of people very well. The current Health care system is broken. That is why there needs to be a change. Here's one example. Blue Cross made a profit of 6 BILLION dollars last year. They are raising their rates by 23 to 49 per cent nationwide. How much profit is enough? Answered By: Doug - 3/19/2010

Take a good look at the NHS in England as well. The elderly treated like second class citizens, left to starve and die of dehydration. Even younger patients aren't immune from dying from things like preventable dehydration at the hands of the NHS system. Infections running rampant. People dying while on waiting lists for care. Some 34,000 (yes, thirty four THOUSAND) people die each year in NHS hospitals because of poor safety standards. 1 in 10 NHS hospitals couldn't confirm if they met safety standards at all. There are stories of children dying over there because of long wait times, staff shortages, inadequate training, and poor communication. Like the story of one little boy who died after a whole mess of healthcare mistakes. They first decided his condition wasn't "urgent" enough. Then they missed 8 (EIGHT!) broken ribs. The little boy died two days later as the result of neglect and malpractice. And this is just in England. With one of the systems our SCROTUS is modeling his healthcare reform on. The government can't even run the post office effectively, let alone our hospitals.

I am no fan of the Republican party. It has become in many respects Democrats light. But the dynamic is this: Democrats use tax dollars to bribe people for votes. That's PRECISELY what they are doing right now in the halls of Congress trying ANYTHING to get fellow Congressmen and women on board. They do the same thing among the voting public! Have you ever wondered why more than 90 percent of black folk vote Democratic? It's because the Democrats are the party of ENTITLEMENT programs. WHAT group of people feel more entitled? There's a infamous video of a black woman celebrating the election of Obama. She said, "We won't have to work anymore. We won't have to buy our own gas or pay for our own car insurance." These people are idiots! Emmanuel Kant put forth a concept that he called his Categorical Imperative. If you want the formal definition, check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_imperative The gist of it is this: Kant said that ANYONE can figure out if what they are doing is right or wrong by asking a simple question: "What if everyone was doing what I do?" Examples: What if everyone refused to work? Society would shut down; so, refusing to work is wrong! Get off your lazy butt and WORK, you free loading freak! What if everyone was gay? There would be no more births. Humanity would die out. Homosexuality is wrong! And so on.... So, it's pretty easy to see that it's wrong of politicians to try to steal money from some to bribe others for votes. What if everyone did it? There would be no one left to bribe, because everyone would be getting stolen from! It's wrong! It's equally easy to see that everyone cannot get on the government dole. The idea is that SOME WORK and OTHERS MOOCH! But what if EVERYONE wanted to mooch? The Categorical Imperative says it's wrong! This so-called "reform" is CLASSIC Democratic politics. The rich are demonized and the poor are cannonized. The rich are screwed and the poor are paid off. But unlike giving tax refunds to people who don't even pay taxes, this program is soooooooooooooo big, soooooooooooo full of pork, and sooooooooooooooo radical that it will in fact put America over the edge. It's already teetering! This is the final straw! We're a bankrupt nation! 20 to 30 percent of America has this sense of entitlement now. JFK said, "Ask not what your country can do for you." That's NOT the modern Democratic voter. That's ALL these people ask! And the rest feel guilt over their prosperity and think that it's good and right for the government to redistribute wealth. But make no mistake, friend, the MAJORITY of Americans do NOT WANT THIS "reform." We're mad as hell!!!!!! Obama Nation. Obamanation. Abomination. Answered By: One Man's Opinion - 3/19/2010

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now. 1 answer - Asked By: Alex Prieto - 10/14/2012

	What to wear to a job interview VS a career fair? So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?! 2 answers - Asked By: Beast - 9/23/2012
