I know that you're a loon, but I'd just like to point out that ebola is not a small virus - it's pretty big as viruses go. (800 - 1000 nm, cf 30 - 300 nm for typical viruses)
You seem to have the wrong end of the stick - mlw4428 is talking about whether the doctor/pharmacy/hospital is paid by the health insurer directly, or by the patient who is then reimbursed by the insurer.
He's also bringing up the ridiculous "America is different" argument in order to explain why Americans must pay out of their pockets or they will spend their whole lives in the ER, that apparently being how Americans want to spend their time.
You're very much correct about the UK. However France requires a copay and I don't disagree with that
My "copay" is 100% reimbursed by my mutuelle.
Truly free healthcare leads people to go to the ER for stuff their Primary Care Physician should be handling (as the uninsured do now).
Why? If I visit the ER I pay nothing on the spot, and the bills get paid by the securite sociale and my mutuelle later on. If I visit my doctor I have to fork over the cash or cheque and get reimbursed later.
The major advantage of seeing my doctor is that I don't have to wait for hours in the ER. (He even does house calls).
The following O.Ses. doesn't use bash for/bin/sh, system() and popen() by default and are a lot safer than the other Linux distros against exploitation of Shellshock: Debian, Ubuntu.
Unless your CGI script happens to run zgrep or any of the other things that force bash use for no obvious reason.
Or it could be Iran, where being a scientists in the wrong field nets you a free gift box of bullets delivered straight to your cranium, courtesy of the CIA(okay that's the US's fault too).
No, that's entirely ths US's fault. (Or, to be more realistic, Israels).
Oh yes, and for values of Iran that include Belgium.
Just in case anyone is misunderstanding what jbssm is saying.
The US public spending on healthcare is the 10th biggest in the world, larger than many countries (E.G. the UK) that have "socialised" health care.
I.E. The taxes Americans already pay are enough to provide "free" healthcare for every American. And you could stop paying health insurance and all other health costs.
I've read that the semen of Ebola survivors can transmit Ebola for months after their clinical recovery.
You're way into [ citation needed ] territory there.
And what about [a]symptomatic carriers? AFAIK there have been none reported, but what if there's even one "Typhoid Mary" of Ebola?
No evidence for their existence or known mechanism. If the virus isn't reproducing in your body you can't be spreading it. If it's reproducing in your body and you're not sick then it's not Ebola.
I prefer Satellite Data, it has been "corrected" as much, nor has it been gridded to correct for geospacial inconsistencies.
I assume you mean it has [not] been "corrected" as much.
If you do, you're wrong.
The problem with the satellite data is that it doesn't measure temperature, it's a proxy, and like all proxies needs some amusing massaging to work out what temperatures the satellite measurements correspond to.
Historically UAH fucked this up pretty badly, over time they've fixed their many errors and now get something that seems to correspond to the measured temperatures.
RSS however are having a big problem at the moment - their figures are out of line with everyone else's.

No one I know has a problem with paying copays, deductibles, or coinsurances
Why not? Ask someone in the UK what "copays, deductibles, or coinsurances" are and they will look at you blankly.

Yup I can see that:

Funny looking bash script.
Nope.
A lot of it is written in Bourne shell scripts, which may be interpreted by bash, ksh, dash or some other "sh" implementation.
Some of it (too much) is actually written in bash, but probably shouldn't be. (Hello authors of "zless"),
Hey come on, you're talking about a group of people who voted for Bush instead of Kerry because they'd rather have a beer with Bush.
Forgetting that Bush is a recovering alcoholic.
Have fun drinking with that guy!

Ah, sorry, an english/american thing.
We'd say "year" or "form".
That is so fucked up.
Oh, look, he's got a chromebook - he's a loser.
Well, no. Todays welfare state is a large positive consequence of Count Otto von Bismark being one smart fucker.
Bonobos spend most of their time fucking. Do you have a problem with tbat?
Don't worry, he's protected by the invincible shield of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Ok, thanks. Sorry for being so incredulous, but I'd never heard that before.
What a bummer.
Probably not.
It's already been observed that funerary practices in the Congo changed during previous Ebola outbreaks.

That's not how evolution works.

Roy Spencer says:
Anyway, my UAH cohort and boss John Christy, who does the detailed matching between satellites, is pretty convinced that the RSS data is undergoing spurious cooling because RSS is still using the old NOAA-15 satellite which has a decaying orbit, to which they are then applying a diurnal cycle drift correction based upon a climate model, which does not quite match reality. We have not used NOAA-15 for trend information in yearswe use the NASA Aqua AMSU, since that satellite carries extra fuel to maintain a precise orbit.
His bigging up experiment at the expense of observation is so he can get his AGW denying bit in.
