Jason Bourne Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Isn't Obamacare supposed to sort things out for the yanks?? You'd think so, but there are problems with Obamacare sorry, the "Affordable Care Act" in that (excuse my poor understanding, for I am of limited intelligence) it forces people to take health insurance even if they don't want it or can't afford it, so now that health insurance is mandatory, the health insurance companies in the US, like our car insurance companies here in the UK, have started jacking their prices up Don't you love how free markets work, and how opening up markets to private corporations means increased competition and lower prices and higher levels of service for everybody, except when the private companies have a monopoly on services, but that's still good except when the public sector has a monopoly on something, because that's bad? Anyway, the bible of the Left, the Guardian, has a story on it here: I never thought I'd be an outlaw, but the Affordable Care Act might make me one http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/dec/20/affordable-care-act-healthcare-not-affordable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Clowning Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 A bit pointless if she's got a brain tumour don't you think? You're obviously not very clued up when it comes to the basic construction of the human body. You haven't heard how he intends to get it in her yet !

Minimo Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I don't know many people that would do this!! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/texas-restaurant-owner-to-sell-business-so-teenage-waitress-can-afford-surgery-on-brain-tumour-9045955.html It sounds like a very good thing to do, but I just wonder how many other staff will lose their jobs?
