People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.

 

Stupid feckers.

I disagree on almost every point you've made there. Health Insurance companies in America often have their own panel's of Doctors and Lawyers, many of whom are paid bonuses dependant on the amount of medical insurance claims they manage to TURN DOWN! The sick may well get emergency medical treatment, but some little caveat will leave the poor unfortunate paying the bill for a long time to come

I found this quote quite disturbing:

Asked if they would commit to never rescinding a policy unless it was intentionally fraudulent, all of the CEOs said no, noting that a commitment like that does not coincide with the state laws and regulations they follow.

That programme on Fox News where they're all sat at in what appears to be a living room set where they all merrily discuss right wing sort of things. There's a window behind them which appears to look onto a New York Street. There's folk always walking by.

Edit: Is it not called Fox & Friends?

 

My comment didn't come from watching that. It comes frome watching a month, every day of the vile bollocks they spout.

 

Do you actually see this channel ? If not it's hard to talk about.

 

It's sick.
