So, if you don't go and you get money back, should you pay extra if you go too much?

Hahahahahahaha, he said replacing it.Saint wrote: I can't say that I'm going to be upset if they overturn Obamacare, to be honest. However, I doubt very seriously that whatever replaces is going to be much better unless we get a serious grip on medical/pharm costs.
Yes, if you're constantly going for minor shit. But the other side of the coin is that for the doctors, you're a customer. They're going to try and squeeze as much out of you as they can as long as they've got you there...AlabamAlum wrote:So, if you don't go and you get money back, should you pay extra if you go too much?
Saint wrote:I think that if you pay insurance every month but then never go to the doctor, you should get something back at the end of the year.
Also, if you do go to the doctor, why can't you just sign up for a level of care. If you're one of these namby-pambys that has to have a bunch of tests done for a little blood in your urine, then you should pay for it. But if you're like me and just want to get some quick script meds and go home, why should I have to go through a bunch of costly tests?
This whole thing is a yuge racket.

Absolutely. We've got one Chicken Little here at work who goes to the doctor at least once a month or makes one of her grown kids or husband go. She even argues with the doctors, she proudly told me once, because they don't know as much as she does about her own body. But of course that doesn't stop her from going repeatedly and making our group rate climb ever so steadily.AlabamAlum wrote:So, if you don't go and you get money back, should you pay extra if you go too much?
That was really cool. I'd love to hear what the Obama girls are going to tell that autistic Trump kid.Bklyn wrote:Barbara and Jenna followed up on a letter written 8 years before...

No, I'm not an elitist subscriber, but google, "A warning for the losers of the liberal elite" you can get in to read the article.Saint wrote:That link you posted took me to some elitist financial site that informed me I had to subscribe to read it.
The GOP started out as such and probably has fit that description, in different intervals, as much as it has been the pompous party of fat cats and assholes. Of course, now "populism" means telling poor, ignorant people what they want to hear and then doing the opposite.hedge wrote:The amazing thing to me is how quickly the republicans became the ostensibly populist party, and that they chose a former democrat New York billionaire to lead them in this endeavor...

Electrodes implanted in the brain and spine have helped paralyzed monkeys walk. The neurologists behind the study reported that the implants restored function in the primates’ legs almost instantaneously. The findings are detailed in Nature.
The spinal cord of the subject monkey was partially cut, so the legs had no way of communicating with the brain. To mend the brain-spine interface, electrodes were placed on key parts of the monkey’s body. Implants were placed inside the monkey’s brain at the part that controls leg movement, together with a wireless transmitter sitting outside the skull. Electrodes were also placed along the spinal cord, below the injury.
A computer program decoded brain signals indicative of leg movement and transmitted the signals to the electrodes in the spine. Within just a few seconds, the monkey was moving its leg. In a few days, it was walking on a treadmill.
