Please support the Forum by using the Amazon Link this Holiday Season

Amazon has started their Black Friday sales and there are some great deals to be had! As you shop this holiday season, please consider using the forum's Amazon.com link (listed in the menu as "Amazon Link") to add items to your cart and purchase them. The forum gets a small commission from every item sold.

Additionally, the forum gets a "bounty" for various offers at Amazon.com. For instance, if you sign up for a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, the forum will earn $3. Same if you buy a Prime membership for someone else as a gift! Trying out or purchasing an Audible membership will earn the forum a few bucks. And creating an Amazon Business account will send a $15 commission our way.

If you have an Amazon Echo, you need a free trial of Amazon Music!! We will earn $3 and it's free to you!

Your personal information is completely private, I only get a list of items that were ordered/shipped via the link, no names or locations or anything. This does not cost you anything extra and it helps offset the operating costs of this forum, which include our hosting fees and the yearly registration and licensing fees.

Stay safe and well and thank you for your participation in the Forum and for your support!! --Deborah

  • A national health system would be an abject disaster. National insurance might be a workable idea but as soon as that happens we need to severely punish sugar consumption and fatty foods. Are you ready for the health gestapo??

    • We already have the Energy Gestapo...
      Shut the fuck up Donny!

      • We are already paying more than universal health care would cost. We have the most expensive healthcare in the world.

        Universal health care works in the rest of the world.

        • That’s pie in the sky progressive nonsense that no rational adult should believe.

                • The US health care system is an abomination. It's more fragmented and costly per person than anywhere on the globe. There are pockets of medical excellence in the US. Not surprisingly, there are timely and equivalent quality services available in many foreign countries. If you choose to take a medical vacation, and many are for cosmetic stuff, Insurance doesn't cover medical services provided in foreign countries.

                  The solution to America's shitty HC system is DEFINATELY NOT UK's NHS or anything close to it for obvious reasons already presented. Making HC more accessible and lowering the costs of it is an immensely complex problem. Reducing it to, Oh, we just need a national health care system like the VA is ridiculously oversimplified and stupid. Discussing solutions among the amateurs here is a also waste of time.

                  Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

                    It's time for single payer healthcare.

                    However that is accomplished I'll leave that to the professionals, not a bunch of amatuer" it'll never woooooork" Eyores, as well as a couple of "those people don't deserve it "jackasses on a message board

                      • It will never work without more competition for services to bring the costs down...which the government has proven over and over it cannot do. There are a plethora of reasons why healthcare costs have gone sky high...and the government only makes those reasons worse.

                          We have the most expensive healthcare in the world now. Costs will not go up as fast as they are going up now.

                              It's not going to happen anytime soon anyway and the Dems didn't have the balls to do it when they should have.
