It is always nice to find a like-minded individual in the comments.
The current system is where the person may be the patient, but they are not the customer. The insurance company is and they require all manner of paperwork, which is not cheap. As I understand it, they negotiate and the insurance company agrees to what is a maximum possible price they will pay for something, which is what the doctors then charge; there's no reason not to. It reminds me very much of government price caps, in that way.
There was an article I read a few years ago on some doctors that don't accept health insurance nor government benefits. They make about as much money as they did before. What did change was that they had to start posting their prices for services, because the patients were now also the customers. Their patients are considerably more pro-active and, again from what I remember, their overall costs are less than they were before.
I ask because I don't know. I can see turning a page into a screed as vandalism, but that doesn't differ greatly from many of the wikipedia articles that I've read; quite a few of them are overwhelmingly dedicated to hostility to the topic or advocates of the topic. Earlier today, when I was reading the news, there was a link to the Wikipedia article on the Tea Party movement: well over half of the article was dedicated to quotes from anti-Tea Party people (MSNBC, NYT, LAT, etc.) spouting off hostility to it.
You bring up the sleep/suspend thing which others answer then you bring it up again and again.
Do you remember IE6? I mean, all these pages wouldn't work with anything else so it MUST be the case that IE6 was better than everything else, right? I mean it MUST have stuck to the standards better than anything else, otherwise all these pages that could only load on IE6 would work on non-IE6 browsers. Of course it could simply NOT be the case that there were all these pages that had all sorts of IE6 specific crap because IE6 was so non-compliant that it couldn't cope with properly written, standards based web pages. No, that could never have been the case!
It is hard to know how to respond to something so utterly ignorant. Where does one start? California has not gone to a Republican presidential candidate since 1988. That is 22 years since basic comprehension of reality is apparently beyond your grasp. The state's legislature is loopy leftist. The governor is a RINO.
As the testbed of liberal ideas, California is going the same way as its 1970's predecessor, New York City, did: into bankruptcy.
Reminds me of the stories where the school has a race and EVERYONE gets the blue ribbon! `Cause, like, y'know, everyone ares winner!
I'm not sure this has as much to do with liberalism (which I am not a fan of, by any means) as it does with feminization. Women tend to want equal everything without much regard for anything aside from the end result. It was put on display in a play by Aristophanes and it is pushed as what ought to be public policy by women such as Catherine MacKinnon.
That would make the world's most awesome screen saver. I mean, if you are going to burn the CPU cycles on a screen saver, might as well do it on something you might enjoy watching.
Who is missing that point? That is, in fact, the point that most people here do get. Their human rights were being violated by the German government's laws and they got asylum in the United States.
One of the most detrimental things that can happen to a kid is to be raised without his or her father in the home. This is not even disputable. I'd bet every dime I have that the average home schooled kids with mom and dad are vastly better off than the run of the mill single mother raised kids. Do they criminalize women having kids alone in Germany?
Which makes it highly improbable. Since the highly improbable people have a spaceship with an Infinite Improbability drive, it is highly likely that the highly improbable fact, is in fact, true.
Need to watch the hand doing the gesturing too. Democrats tend to cup the hand while Republicans tend to have a closed hand (not as tight as a fist) with the thumb sticking up.

Is that vandalism?
I remember reading about this. God, that pissed me off. I'm a fan of the guys in the field, but the Pentagon can burn in hell.
God, I hope you don't actually work in any tech field in any capacity...

Mod parent down! We don't allow reality here!!!!
Let me guess: you sell insurance?
I'm gonna kill that bitch!

Copying anyone other than Kurosawa is ripping off that person.
Copying Kurosawa is making something more awesome than it has any business being.
And as you can attest to that...
It was your tears I tasted? So sweet...
[insert bwhahaha here]
I did that.
I fucking hate Valentine's Day.
How did he get that job anyhow? Of course, he farmed it out to the Woz and kinda ripped him off in the process.
I've got no real axe to grind, just thought that forgetting to mention Jobs as a successful counter-point to the Carlis of the technical industries.
"Even in those fluffy politically correct liberal arts classes, you can pretty much guess what the lecturer is going to talk about."
George Bush?
Uh, Steve Jobs?
Nice, short and to the point, much like Joe Pesci's Oscar speech: "Uh, thanks."
MiFi Fail: Pwn!
I see the pass of a Verizon!
