The wisdom teeth pull seems to be pretty standard, they yanked mine in the first week of boot camp.

Its not Champus anymore, i think its now called "Tricare".
I had some pain so i went to the dentist and they said my Wisdom teeth were impacted and all 4 would need to be removed. The next day i was at the base clinic getting them yanked. I did get some pain meds afterwards and i think it was codine or something but it really did not do much. I heard later that most people get put under for this procedure but since i was in the militrary i guess they wanted to save money. LOL

Moreluck,
Thank you. I found this over at Lew Rockwell and it made no sense at all until I saw the video you posted and then I got the humor. And if like me you loved the old Dean Martin show when he had on Foster Brooks, you'll love the link and get ready to Laugh your arse off!
c ya!

I know I am always grateful when you step away from your traditional role here of smugly chastising anyone who has the guts to take a political position to join and support the community.
Health Care Reform
38% Favor Health Care Plan, 56% Are Opposed
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 38% of voters nationwide favor the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That matches the lowest level of support yet. Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters oppose the plan.

I'll give you my honest opinion: You can't leave healthcare at Status Quo. If you do, bets will be on, who or what falters first ?
Medicare, (Government), or US companies, that no longer can afford it ?
So, why can't Obama and Mc Cain sit down together, and figure out a way to save your healthcare system, before it goes broke ?

Why should the government be the one to solve this problem? Personally, I dont want the future of our entire health care system to lie in the hands of Obama/McCain .... or any variation of our beloved congress

I agree... get rid of tax free payroll heathcare deductions. Let workers pay it, on thier own, off the payroll, to any insurance company he wants to.
Abolish Medicare, since Government pays for that, too.
Let insurance companies pay for ambulances, hospitals, and any other healthcare costs, including research and training.
Get government the heck out of it all !

sounds good. when do we start?

As soon as everyone is willing to pay about tripple the costs of it (around $3000 per month), for lifetime. On the plus side, in 20 - 30 years the government will become debtfree and could lower taxes for the next generation to come.
The problem most of you have, is that you don't trust government at all.
In the good days, when government had money, yes, things were good !
If the government does make money, it's the peoples money, meaning it's still your money. Which you'll receive back in 1 form or another.
However, if you pay a private insurance company, that money is gone. No longer yours. It's gone for good !
If for some reason, nobody gets seriously ill, and insurance profits.... well, they keep it.
A nice good profit year for them.
I would still like to see a public option for car and home insurance here. As 1 of our provincial ministers once threatened the private sector, to bring rates down, or else we will compete with you.
While you guys discuss your healthcare issues, here in the background is a big call out for a National Daycare Program.
Which will probably be passed in the next decade or so.
Just more tax money us singles need to pay and never benefit from. Unless they take away all thier child tax credits, family allowances... to pay for it.

Sounds American 40 years ago. Could the way forward be in looking back?
