Insurance + E111
Insurance? Doesn't your regular insurance
cover your? WTF is E111?

Wierd. I'd assumed you're a non-European, but you're claiming to post from a
UK address.

We don't have "regular insurance" here - the NHS is free. And the E111
entitles EU nationals to whatever health care is provided by the country
they're visiting. Almost all insurance policies refuse to pay for things
that an E111 covers. So if you're in a country with a decent state health
care system, then the E111 will cover you. Without one, your insurance will
refuse to pay, so you're out of pocket.

Somehow Yahoo saw fit to assign me a UK email address. I
really don't know why. I'm in the good old USofA, the northeast
specifically commonly known as "New" England.

The US doesn't have any kind of national health care, much
to the dismay of my somewhat socialist POV. I am self-
employed and carry my own health insurance at my own expense.
I also have a non-taxed saving account that can be used for
medical reasons and all going in or out is tax-free. I would
assume I could use that account in a foreign country and be
re-imbursed by my insurance carrier for much of it when I
got home.

Thanks for the info.

That's not exactly true. If you are disabled or unable to provide for
yourself there are services to provide for you. Unfortunately if you are
an illegal alien, have more kids than you can afford, are a worthless
piece of ****, you also get taken care of. That is paid for by people
like you and me that work and pay our own way as well.

Must mean Bob Thompson gets free health ca shame he doesn't avail himself
of some of the mental health services to deal with his worthless piece of
****ness.

If you are willing to fill out the paperwork and do the dance, the US
does indeed have socialized medical care. Even people who worked all
their lives, made butloads of money, die paid for by medicare,
because, sadly, their health insurance ran out with their employment.
Screwy, bizzarre, backwards system you got there in the US.

You're getting there then! In the UK, *everyone* gets free health care.
There's a lot of bad things wrong with this country, but getting free health
care ain't one of em.

That wasn't too hard to do. I listen to Rush about 2 hrs. per week. That
left me with plenty of time to read an excerpt from an elitist that
thought a job where you actually had to work was beneath her. She's much
more interested in conning people into believing that honest work is
demeaning. Besides she writes drivel, and there are some morons that
will actually buy it. Not her fault. More power to her.

You'll have to explain what my "vast angry personal wealth" is, how you
know about it, what business it is of yours, what it has to do with my
subsidization of other peoples choices, and how it fit's the thread.

I'm afraid the issues are far more complicated than that. The
combination of the arrogance and inefficiency of the medical
profession combined with contingency fee attorneys have so
greatly distorted things. Both groups assumed that insurance
companies would continue to blindly fund uncontrolled treatment
programs but they just stopped. If the medical profession and/or
lawyers weren't going to police themselves than they were shut off
the money or charge much higher rates. Who the hell knows what
the answer is.

Yeah, I know that the US system ain't exactly well organised, and I have no
idea how to sort it out. I was just pointing out how handy our system is.

However, there are a large number of people who started from
nothing with nothing jobs and improved their lot in life (like selling
shoes?). These people having accomplished this task are often
more protective of their wealth than others. Granted, society needs
to have compassion but people have to take responsibility for their
own lives and should be totally accountable for their own behavior.


BWHAHAHAHAHAHA! I agree!
What is your name, psychopath? Verifiable address?
Be totally accountable!
You psychopaths are amazing!

See? Now there's a paragraph I can relate to.


BWHAHAHAHAHA! Then go confess to the cops about your stalking, about making
false police reports, about being part of a criminal conspiracy of
terrorism, harassment, and threats! Be accountable! Relate to
accountability!
Or do what you always do. Falsely accuse me of molesting children.
