^I suggest you watch the documentary Sicko by Michael Moore.

Then again you have Obamacare, so you should be alright.

The Michael Moore film couldn't possibly be pushing an agenda, and leaving out inconvenient facts.

Yes. I agree.

Just curious how the system works down there in regards to healthcare.

I have heard of people getting deducted $200 per paycheque for healthcare.

Also getting medicare isn't easy if you have health problems in your family.

Is it true people have to sell their homes or get a second mortgage for big operations?

Definitely true, and extremely sad.

A contributing factor to the depression of a friend of mine, who ultimately committed suicide, was debt from a $10,000+ medical bill from an emergency room visit.

On the other hand, the actual doctors and facilities are great in general. As far as I've heard, it's not uncommon for Canadians to come down for certain procedures because they were facing extremely long wait times and they either wanted or needed it done sooner. That OK Surgery Center and the few similar facilities get a lot of those people because they cut out the insurance bloat, are doctor owned (have skin in the game), and post their prices online.

If local/state/federal governments and professional organization boards didn't block the development of the vast majority of these types of places then I think we'd see a revolution in the health care industry here (which is exactly why they don't approve the opening of them)

Why didn't he just declare bankruptcy?

I just want to chime in, and say the dialogue that happened between Suits and Samseu is something out of 19th century gentlemen's club stuff.

Damn, how I would love to see this kind of stuff live.

First time you've provided any constructive information to the discussion in God knows how long.

Interesting thread:

And it will not be long before Flashback is shut down. Probably gone before the end of the year if not the founders will be cast into total exile.

Updating thread. Yet another Samseau prediction comes true!

https://www.flashback.org/t2784686

Quote:

The government has this afternoon held a press conference at which Alice Bah Kuhnke-and Anders Ygeman participated. A new plan to counter what it calls "hate crime" has been developed.

According to Interior Minister Anders Ygeman (S), a major focus will be on the sites and networks where racist posts are common.

We want to have a dialogue with the providers of these platforms and we want them to take away users who break the rules, he explains.

Thus, there is every likelihood the sites referred to, and what kind of "hate" referred to. One thinks special treatment and to combat "hate" against certain groups while real hatred towards other groups will flourish freely to any degree. Flashback learns definitely be at risk for this action from the government.

Golly gee, that sure was difficult to predict! How could I, a man whom has never been to Sweden, been able to understand the psychology of people and tyrants!?

It's almost like people never change! Like humans share the same nature, and have the same psychology or something! And what we read in the history books is true!

These are sad, sad threads: https://www.flashback.org/t2784662p2

   

Things are getting so bad people are calling for Hitler. Reading through this thread and we see there are murders which are going uninvestigated by the police, and yet the government is cracking down on online speech.

My prediction of Sweden (and Vicious) stands:

Quote:

Sweden is still fucked, though. And Vicious will be in denial until his home is invaded, upon which he has a total reversal and becomes a hardcore crusader hell-bent on destroying Islam.

[Mentavious]

I'm even hearing that if you don't have health insurance or a card on file in many US hospitals then they can deny you treatment.

Is this true or just BS?

You will always get treatment in our ER (Emergency Rooms) and never get turned away (especially if life threatening). However, you will get billed and be expected to pay it. Without insurance, it can be very expensive.

Other elective services require insurance or full self pay.

The only prediction I see here is one that will not come true unless there's some commie revolt happening in the next ten days that shuts down the Internet in the entire country.

A lame duck leftist babbling about having a "dialogue" with sites? If she enjoys being laughed at I guess that's a plan.
How anyone can spin this as a prediction coming true is beyond me, but I guess it's some kind of pre-emptive defense to being called out for being wrong.

Ten days.
