piss poor, i mean rich, argument?Ok, well let's do a 1 million urine tests for every patient. Doctors orders ! And make sure you pay the bill on the way out
...doing a million random tests because they might stumble upon something?
yes, I was exaggerating, but just making a point. so, what exactly was your point then? that they should run just a few extra tests, for the hell of it, when you see your doctor? or, like I even said, go to your doc for regular checkups and get the normally scheduled tests?Look, that is not how it is usually done. You're exaggerating it here, and you know it.
well, you knew something was wrong and your boss didn't. no brainer...I had injured my finger at work really bad two years ago. The boss said I would be "fine" - but it hurt unusual bad, so I went to the hospital.
Just by talking about symptoms a good doctor should have at least a clue what he has to deal with. Under certain circumstances one has to do tests, yes, but not always. Not everyone is in a serious condition.
The boss said I would be "fine"
Here, if you injure yourself at work, they can't get you to hospital fast enough.

Now I think you know exactly how I feel

isn't the constituion a bit out of date?
it may have been relevent to sociaty 200 years ago but now?
Also things can often seem clearer from the outside; a more objective view point.
Is this how hospitals make money nowadays? I don't believe it.If that doctor was somehow convinced that more tests would do great good for a hospital and himself, would he ask for more tests to be done ?
Your boss isn't a doctor.
and unless you have some medical issue, you probably have a low monthly rate, right?I have a 3500 dollar deductible on my insurance. LOL.
already paying for a family of four, thankswell, if you want to call it low then maybe you should pay it, but yeah, unless I'm dying of cancer or have major surgery, I'm forking the bill.
Actually, you should read it. Start right here: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution.html and have a look at the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. They aren't terribly long.
The entire thing is carefully constructed to keep unnecessary power out of the hands of a central authority (the federal government). The States are set up as self-governing units. The Fed ties them together and its powers largely center around maintaining fair trade between them and providing a common defense. Thus, there is competition and camaraderie between each State and each is directly accountable to its people.
It's very interesting to read the events of the time and the writings of the people who established the country as they were largely concerned by tyranny and felt that government was but a necessary evil that needed to be kept in check.
If a State were to decide to fund a public healthcare option, with the authority of the people, that would be entirely constitutional.
This seems weird to me. The senator can't represent the state (and therefore the people) he/she came from?No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
They still refereed to them as Indians even though, by then, it must have been obvious it wasn't India.To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States,
Maybe a bit vague but could this be construed as making a national health service constitutional?Section 8.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
