So you think driving is a right? There's nothing in the constitution that you have the right to drive. The state grants you a privilege to drive - as long as the car meets safety requirements, you have proper insurance, valid license, etc. In PA, it's constitutional for a game warden to search your car without a warrant - in case you have been poaching...
Ok, lots of idiots here. I am a former EMT. My experience is in Pennslyvania, so YMMV...
1. Prioritization. ER's and EMT's prioritize - in case of urgency. someone with a hangnail / broken finger get lower priorities than a person with a lacerated liver or heart attack.
2. Ambulances - they will always pick you up. no matter what. No need for pre-authorization of insurance.
What America may have is a BILLING issue. Who pays for what? Should it be considered to be a "Right" as defined in the Bill of rights? Should I expected to pay for my neighbor being overweight? Why can't he be responsible for himself? How exactly does government-run health-care plans keep costs down, or do they hide the costs in the national debt?
I now want to say, I do want a national health plan, and I do believe in a single payer plan, but I do expect my taxes to go up. My biggest problem with the plan was the people claiming that things were not going to change.
Funny you should mention Ungerman-Bass - At work, we had to set up an old VAX for developers so that they could port data and code to an AS/400. The Vax came through with only a AUI connector for ethernet. Back in the 90's, I had grabbed an Ungerman-Bass tpau to 10bt adapter off of a skid, and It finally came in handy. The really funny thing is this happened six years ago.
See, i remember the 3c509's well - that's all they would support at my university (no generic isa NE2000 cards allowed in 1996...) The 3c900's were crap - they had problems with DMA and I helped a fortune 500 company replace all those cards. The 905's were good - I may have one or two various revisions lying around - they always seemed to work with every OS I would ever throw at them.

Agree so totally much. You cannot be this much money into a project without a project plan.

Just drive a blue car if you want it to catch on fire, you mean. The ONLY time I have ever had a car catch on fire it was blue.
Damn, my car caught on fire, and it was blue...

Always nice to see the Valley get represented. I'll have to watch out for his resume.
