I know basic sewing. I can fix a button or a ripped seam. I have used a sewing machine, but I need someone to set it up for me.

I gotta work in order for bills to get paid, so this expecting women to do all that traditional stuff is bullshit. I'm more ok with it when there situation is she's home all day and not working.

I was going to say something but :zipit:

I am just saying that guys should help even out the workload when both are working full time. I hate having to work a long ass day and then come home to have to do all of the cooking and cleaning. I haven't had time for myself lately, because he's always too tired to help out. I've tried to workout several times this week, but had to tend to other crap around the house instead.

if I were a Canadian. I'd remain a Canadian.

:high5:
i couldn't imagine dealing with the health care system there, i know ours isn't perfect, but it's good enough for me.

It's awesome. The Dr says I need an MRI to make sure I don't have a tumor or something that's causing my blinding headaches and the health insurance company says they need to take two weeks to talk to their doctors to makes sure that sounds right.

For a year they denied all of my claims for some dumb reason until I walked into their corporate office sweating with a fever and told them I wasn't leaving until they paid my bills. The evil Obama was trying to fix shit like that but apparently that would make us socialists.

I am sorry, but Obamacare had nothing to do with fixing the bullshit healthcare companies give you, it is about allowing preexisting conditions (which is good), allowing children on until age 25 (which I am not sure I agree with) and giving free healthcare to poor people only (which I disagree with).

If Obamacare was about regulating health care costs, negative healthcare company bullshit like Joe went through and/or giving everyone free health care, I would be singing his praises b/c that would be great.

But it was not. Obamacare in it's whole would have done absolutely NOTHING to improve what Joe went through, in fact, it might have made your plight more difficult.

I fucking knew it!! I knew as soon as Obama hit the keyboard that either Pete or Hondo would be all over it. Sometimes I just say shit to see who will give me shit first.

You are right. The main problem is that healthcare is too fucking expensive. I mean I go to the doctor and take maybe 10 minutes of his time and walk out with a prescription and have to pay $95 for the visit and $20 on average for the prescription. So at that rate the doctor can charge $570 an hour?

One time I went to pick up a prescription and I think I had a deductible on my prescription plan. When the pharmacist told me it was $245 I nearly shit on the floor and punched him. What the fuck could those pills be made from that would make it cost that much. For that much it better make me shit gold nuggets.

The yellow is the real problem. It needs regulated. And it is not all on the doctors, their suppliers jack prices also. Huge profit margins in that business.

That is what I want fixed in healthcare, OR just give a good solid universal health care similar to Canada's. I have no problem with that.

Get this shit. A few years ago I needed to get a Cpap for sleep apnea. Because of the price of them and with so many people not actually using them after trying them the insurance company chose to rent the thing for 6 months before purchasing it. The rental fee was $200 a month. The cost of the equipment was $1200. After renting it for 6 months they decided to purchase it.

So they paid $2400 for something that would have cost $1200. The best part is I can buy the same model directly for about $400 new from just about anywhere online.

I am now up to about $100,000 is healthcare bills so far this year, and only resposible for about $1500, so I can't complain too much. I did go to a dermatologist and the visit was $88, but the insurance only covered $18. that pissed me off a little, still good overall though.
