3 shots in the ass = goodbye, migraine

I really want to respond, AD, but I can't now -- I don't have time to do the neccessary research.  I'll just say one thing, and then go to bed.  

My family's experience is thrown out there to point out that we're not the poor and underpriveledged in this country.  We're a regular, upper-middle class family with what is generally considered to be good health insurance.  All of us have policies that are provided or supplemented by our employers, and all of us (except me) have stable, highly-paid, professional jobs.  And if we're struggling, how much harder must it be for people who don't have jobs with salaries and benefits?  Disease doesn't care how much you make.  

Tomorrow, when I have time, I'm going to find you some numbers on infant mortality as compared to fertility rates.  I think you'll be surprised.  

[EDIT: CONTENT DELETED

Choop's right.  I got *too* personal.  (See subsequent post).  Sorry.  I'm still dealing with some "issues," and I shouldn't vent that here.  Apologies all around.  

This is why I gave up K5.  I get too uptight about this kind of stuff.  

Even admins make mistakes.]

I don't mean to be an asshole. Really I don't. I just didn't sign up to moderate the Serious Socio-Political Debate forum. If one is desired, cheers to you, create "The Parlor" or something that is dedicated to such. I don't want it in The Lounge.

The health care system in the US is fucked up, as is that of the UK, and those of France, Germany, Spain, Italy, etc... Whom I pity are those where little or no health care exists, much less systems to manage it. Management systems are symptoms of a greater problem.

Should you desire to remedy the situation, donate to the Red Cross, who travel wherever their help is needed and can be administered safely, or the Missionaries of Charity, which Mother-soon-to-be-Saint-already-Mahatma-and-avatar-of-Kali Teresa founded back around 1950, if you don't oppose the opposition to abortion. The best way to promote health care in the world is to aid those who provide what is possible where it can possibly be provided.


Mod Warning: If I see another post in this thread - and I'm signed up to "watch" it - it will be deleted as soon as I know of it.

JL's last post got very personal at the end, and I just want to say that she must have been composing it when I began composing mine. At any rate, this topic is CLOSED until moved into a separate forum.

You may feel free to continue this discussion in "The Study" - which is the place for political discussion, and is moderated by the Hon. AugustWest.






And Choop, if you delete one of my administrative posts again, I will delete ALL of yours.

I'm just trying to do my best at keeping you pissed off at me.

Kisses.
