    Typical right wing crap. Don't cherry pick my post and take parts out of context to fit your crappy agenda.

    The EKG is done. I am in fine condition. At least by the EKG.
    Now scheduled for Echo Cardiogram in Roseburg 9/7. Then an appointment with a Cardiologist in Eugene 10/25.
    I have people trying to find a Cardiologist sooner, so far no luck.
    Now if I still had my old insurance I would probably be done with the check up at say, the UCLA medical center.
    But I don't have it any longer

    Wait, you were complaining about having to drive, what was it? 2o miles? 50 miles? But you have no problem going to UCLA?

    And I'm glad to hear that you got your test done and have another one schedule reasonably soon.

    You are right. I forgot to consider the source.

    But you and Lanny crack me that fuck up.

    Lanny buys a million home in Lake Oswego. Beautiful house. Meanwhile his kidneys are failing from all of the toxic crap he was exposed to in Viet Nam. Goes to dialysis now 3 times a week. Too weak to even BBQ in his own backyard. The VA jerks him around and around. Won't put him on the transplant list for this reason, won't put him the list for that reason, just a giant circle jerk.

    And instead of just going out and purchasing insurance he complains about the VA like you do.

    I love the hell out of both of you but you two are just weird. You'll both destroy your own health because you don't want to pay for insurance.

    I think you may have been speed reading over your limit Sly. I never complained about driving. I can't go to UCLA now either, no fucking insurance and I know the tab would be at least 25k.
    I see your assessment of reasonable and mine are different. To go from July to the end of October to see a cardiologist is a hell of a long time in my view, but at least it is schedule now.

    Geez Sly! You just don't read.

    Let me save the explainations, I will cut it short as Possible.

    I had good insurance
    I CAN NOT FUCKING BUY INSURANCE THAT IS WORTH A SHIT.
    By law all I can only buy is this worthless Medicare Advantage or Supplement stuff. I can not make any doctor accept the shit!

    Good lord!

    Moda, you ever hear of them? I had their Medicare Advantage the first year I was buying insurance, but they dropped me out the next year. They don't want to do business in this county.
    So I found one more, but there are no Doctors accepting new Medicare patients in that plan.

    I think I have posted this about 14 fucking time. I do want you guys to know how fucking wonderful this stuff is you all want.

    Let's review Marazul stance on healthcare.

    Single payer is bad, unless it's the VA, but the VA sucks.

    Insurance good, except it's shit.

    Complaining about waiting for an EKG is good, taking $50 out of the wallet to eliminate that wait is bad.

    Ha!
    Actually that does sum up my current understand of how fucking dumb my younger countryman are. No fucking way to turn you from where you think you want to go.
    See no evil, hear no evil, and speak only bullshit!

    Both of these post combine to prove you are either obtuse or just beyond reach.
    Not even going to try to help you see why.

    Pretty sure that if everyone was on medicare, there would be plenty of doctors that accepted medicare.

    As for Moda, I agree they are bad. The waits are terrible and when you get to the front of the line, the beer costs $8.
