capitation is nothing new, it has been part of managed care since its inception.

Debby, I see your at it again.  :) ;)  LOL

Anyway, Europe does have the best national health ins.  What Europe did is tax gas heavily, that's why they pay one of the highest gas pries in the world.  But the money is used for their nataional health plan and also to give every citizen a pension so they never have to worry about having money when they retire and everyones medical needs are taken care of.  Being Europe has many tourists they collect a lot of taxe to support their system.

I'm not sure why he doesn't try and go to the county. According to our new asst. (his roomate) he is scared and thinks he's going to die. She also told me she had a friend whose son went on tx, couldn't take the sx and quit tx. He died. I understand the fear of not knowing what to do, especially if you are uninsured. He is also worried about working. After seeing me, no wonder he is afraid. I think I will have to call him.

Did you notice that the Daniel/Chevy thread is gone? Can someone request that a thread be removed?

I beg to differ. We do not have the "best health care in the world" at all, far from it. That is a myth. Our health care quality is below par compared to many other countries. We have the second WORST infant mortality rate i the WORLD!

Probably the admin. removed it I would imagine. Creating fake illnesses and personas is probably against the rules here or so I would hope. I feel bad for those that offered spport to "daniel" None of us need that kind of ridiculous behavior. She's got her little pals here who are also involved and who feed her sick games so I am sure we haven't seen the end of that ****.

Your gardener/handyman has kids doesn't he? And a wife? A couple of good reasons to pursue tx. We know it is difficult, but the alternative is worse!

Jamie my carpet guy is married. His wife was just laid off, he doesn't have work now. I think he sure could qualify for assistance if he tried. I think he is scared.

If they are going to remove the one post from Daniel/Chevy, why don't they remove the other? This kind of **** makes it hard to trust you we are talking to around here. It's sad.
