    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You were just lauding the "jump through hoops shit" that insurance companies do.

    Been to the DMV?

    Been to the social security administration office?

    Been anywhere government is in charge?

    I suppose I can't know how bad it will be just like I don't know how bad sticking my junk in a running blender will hurt without trying it.

    Nope, got off the government type plan (HMO) the first chance I got. My doctor now can order tests and send me to specialists in my network without much grief. Some things they just won't pay for without my doctor doing some work proving it necessary.

    Had a horrific test done last year that cost me 50 bucks out of pocket and I didn't have to wait months to get approved. A few years ago it would have taken months.

    It's how I found out I couldn't eat gluten and that I didn't have colon cancer.

    Heck, you probably don't need yeast either. Not to worry!

    I think it says a lot about doctors. Most are in it for the money. They sure do bill big bucks.

    The doctors do cheat the insurance companies. Or the patients if they're paying.

    Good to know you joined the profession to help people. Strange as it may seem, some doctors actually are like that. You'll have to imagine REALLY hard on this one, Denny.

    You can just do that? Quit and become a lawyer? Fuck, sign me up!

    Haha. Asks question, gets legit answer and then says......but polling!

    Did you have that pre pulled for when you got your answer or does it smell better if you leave it inserted until ready to use?

    Doesn't even matter, you gave an answer and got a typical response. He couldn't even begin to imagine anything Trump could ever get credit for so just throws out a poll.

    Funny thing is the Quinnipiac poll was 40% or over a month earlier, and in the mid 30s a month prior to that. All over the place. But 33%!!!

    I wonder how his 401K is doing.

    Well the answers were really pretty weak. Along the lines of 'I like Rex Tillerson just listen to him speak'....

    I remember the Obama bashers on this board CONSTANTLY bringing up his polling numbers when he was in office.

    The guy has been an epic failure, even though his party has control of Congress and the Senate. He's getting nothing done. Essentially, why most people who voted for him are regretting their vote.

    Where's this brilliant health care resolve? How many years have the Republican's had to put something together?

    No wall. That aint happening.

    Shit, he even sucks at trying to block Muslims from traveling to the US.

    I guess, its hard to get stuff done when you're too pre-occupied with waging a war against those bozo's in the media.

    Obama could have cured cancer and had a lot of people hate him too. Not a good argument.

    If you listened to Republicans for all this time and thought they had a clue on how to fix Obamacare you're pretty gullible.

    It's single payer or go back to the old way and pass some basic guidelines to control price fixing.

    What other option is there? Besides stick with Obamacare and hope it somehow doesn't explode in our face.

    Clinton was awful as Secretary of State. Blathered, travelled a lot and didn't get much done (if anything). In contrast, Kerry was outstanding - Cuba relations, Iran nuke treaty (as bad as it may have been, he got it done), etc. It matters how the person speaks. His statements about North Korea are both forceful and open to better relations. I don't think it can be handled any better.

    My answers were not weak.

    VA style health care. Government builds hospitals and hires the doctors, buys equipment and medicines, etc. They collect a fee for each procedure.

    No insurance involved. Competes with the private sector, but doesn't regulate it or seek to punish it.

    There's your other option.
