You know, the Sirius audience is used to it. But am I the only one that thinks talk about penis curvature and blood in semen is not exactly well suited for morning drive time?

I dunno, Dr Mark was on back when he was on 98 Rock, so it is pretty normal to us here.

[Mugsy]

but the opposite of that is why our emergency rooms are full of people that don't need to be there

and sadly a lot of people can't afford even regular visits to the doctor... I will never live in the USA cause of that... that's like criminal IMO

I agree.

[SJ]

then again - we cover shit like botox up here under healthcare and that's what's bankrupting ours - and people milking the fuck out of it

there needs to be limits to it...

as long as your plastic surgery is NEEDED then the government will pay for it... well it's all up to the doctor to determine what is needed - and it's a scam...

[milkman]

Everyone misses the point that a lot of the people that don't have insurance here either choose not to have it, or choose not to work to get it. Milking the system for everything in their life!!

What about those that work, but can't get it?

Nevermind.

then your system is really no better than ours .....
and when it comes to research and advances in the medical field
the u.s. is second to none ..

[milkman]

Not on a racetrack!! If you see someone down and hurt, you try to miss em, but if you don't, oops!!

won't argue that one

don't you guys know that when we need healed and there's a waiting list for 6 months we just hop down to USA and buy the operation?

we need that Option here - you can run a private practice or a public one - but they need to regulate the charges so that a simple common surgery doesn't cost 364,000 like in the USA

[Mugsy]

"It's only funny until someone gets hurt...........Then it's HYSTERICAL!"

[milkman]

says the guy who calls himself MILKman

That is not from me milking anything

[SJ]

it's only fun and games till someone losses an eye - then it's a sport

[Mugsy]

Kinda neat to hear the howey deal from the right side.

[SJ]

this has been needed for a long time - we need a monthly howard call

Of course we realize that!!

Do you realize that an operation that cost 364,000 here the ins usually will pay only like 125,000?? Yet they will charge someone with no insurance the total 364K and expect them to pay, which they don't, so the charges get passed on. it is a never ending cycle of pass the buck, yet those that don't pay their share get off scott free. Now they want more from us that pay!!
