Okay, this deserves to be on another board but back at you. Tell that to two neighbors on my block in Sun City who winter here from Canada and have given up waiting to be called for their surgeries back home and chosen to pay for them here so they get done before they die.
I pay three different aides low wages to take care of me. None can afford health insurance. The state of Arizona fully covers all their medical costs through the Access program. Doctor's visits, medications, surgeries (on the deformed hand of one girl's son), everything. Even eyeglasses
Right here, in my little world, I know of no person who cannot get necessary medical care. One of my girls is an illegal and will be leaving soon to go back to Mexico and still has had every need paid for. So stick that in your preconceptions and mull on it..
Tell me your first hand knowlkedge on the politics board and I'll duke it out with you there. Where do you live, by the way?
Thanks for your sharing Skkorpion. I do not wish to duke it out with you. It is too sensitive to me as it is probably very sensitive to you as well. However, think about what I boldened. The last time I checked, Arizona may be the only state that provides health care for poor adults. What about those who make just over the poverty level? How would these low paid aides get health care in another state... go stand in the ER? Don't you think every American should be able to buy affordable health care even if they are not poor? By the way, I'm not pushing for government to necessarily provide health care, just guarantee another option is available so every American can afford it. Maybe I'll talk with you someday on the politics board about something less personal. By the way, I thank God every day I live in Arizona. As to Canada, at least they have a waiting line and those who can afford better can get it elsewhere. Let's face it, almost anyone who has the money can get good healthcare.
I'll keep the rest of my comments concerning the Cardinals. It would be an absolute cue if Hightower worked out well at the RB slot. Also I think that Breaston will turn out to be the Cardinal's speed receiver.
