That would be where Ed and I pay for it and somebody else gets it for free. In the grand scheme of things, I think the country would be better off with basic national health insurance, and people (or employers) could buy plans that would provide more deluxe coverage. But I don't expect to see it in my lifetime. I'd also like to see farm subsidies drastically reworked to advantage fruit and vegetable growers rather than corn, corn, corn. Additionally, I'd like a million bucks. (Hey--while I'm wishing I might as well add that one in.) Cindy Hamilton |

I don't think that anyone thinks it is free. Most of us up here are well aware that our health care system is paid for through taxes, Yet, the appreciate the fact that we have a damned good health care system, that we pay less for health care than Americans do, and that everyone is covered. |

Switzerland has a good system, all are required to have insurance, and it is totally provided by private insurance firms (most choose higher cost complementary - a "Cadillac" policy - insurance and this is where the companies make their profits): > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Switzerland "Swiss are required to purchase basic health insurance, which covers a range of treatments detailed in the Swiss Federal Law on Health Insurance. It is therefore the same throughout the country and avoids double standards in healthcare. Insurers are required to offer this basic insurance to everyone, regardless of age or medical condition. They are not allowed to make a profit off this basic insurance, but can on supplemental plans... The compulsory insurance can be supplemented by private "complementary" insurance policies that allow for coverage of some of the treatment categories not covered by the basic insurance or to improve the standard of room and service in case of hospitalisation. This can include complementary medicine, routine dental treatments, half-private or private ward hospitalisation, and others, which are not covered by the compulsory insurance... As far as the compulsory health insurance is concerned, the insurance companies cannot set any conditions relating to age, sex or state of health for coverage. Although the level of premium can vary from one company to another, they must be identical within the same company for all insured persons of the same age group and region, regardless of sex or state of health. This does not apply to complementary insurance, where premiums are risk-based... In the 2018 Euro health consumer index survey Switzerland was placed first overtaking the Netherlands, and described as an excellent, although expensive, healthcare system..." > fruit and vegetable growers rather than corn, corn, corn. > Additionally, I'd like a million bucks.

Obviously, it is not. My guess is that covid-19 will leave, in its wake, a lot of people with long-term damage to their bodies. This could kick-start such a system. If you-know-who is successful in torpedoing the ACA, that could also kick-start a national health system. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/26/883819835/obamacare-must-fall-trump-administration-tells-supreme-court |

Well they can't. One has to make up strange scenarios to justify the unjustifiable i.e., shooting someone in the back. The latest outrage to come out of the states is the death of Elijah McClain - a gentle, probably neurologically atypical, young man who was killed by the cops on his way home. My guess is that the police are going to have a little trouble portraying him as a dangerous negro thug drug dealer. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53182122 |

In 2012 I bought another .38 at Bass Pro Shop for $550 total but got their credit card and got 10% off. With the reward points I've received I should almost be able to open an ammo shop. Just kidding, but I have bought several gun-related items there with my points and a couple of non-gun related things. Since I already had my carry permit, 12 or 13 years at that point, and no criminal history, my approval for another purchase went through the background check system lickety-split. |

He is probably referring to the guy in Atlanta that was shot in the back. A good expert can show the difference between being shot in the back and being hit in the back. There is a stance called Phoencian turn where you twist around to the person you are attacking but still leave a portion of your back, not your front exposed. When the guy was shooting the taser at the cop he was turned like that so when the cop reacted and shot he was hit in the back. We're talking milliseconds here. |

I saw a picture posted on FB a couple days ago, cop's eye view of a guy running away but turned around aiming a gun at the cop. A defensive shot would have hit the guy in the back. That's what happened in the recent case in Atlanta. The "suspect", armed with a cop's taser, was running away but turned and fired it at the cop behind him. https://www.nbc12.com/2020/06/13/atlanta-police-shoot-kill-dui-suspect-after-struggle/ |

Cheese works its umami magic on cauliflower. It's a vegetable that sorely needs it. For those of us who don't particularly like cheese, a little browning of the cauliflower goes a long way to add umami. And it has the advantage of being low in calories, which is a plus for most people. Cindy Hamilton |

Maybe juries should not know the penalties the accused is facing. They are supposed to listen to the evidence and decide on the basis of that whether or not the person did it. |

Need to feed his kids? Just to cheap to pay? Perhaps some other intervention would be more appropriate. In reality, if he was caught three times he probably got away with it many times too. The purpose of the 3X rule is to discourage but evidently does not always work. |

I would be paid a witness fee. I would cash that cheque and write one of equal value and turn it over to my boss along with the paperwork and I would be paid my regular pay, and that was a hell of a lot more than the paltry witness fee. LOL thinking about a guy who told me he was going to fight one of my tickets so that I would have to come in to court on my Day off. I told him that was not a problem. That court house was 5 miles from my house. It would take me 15 minutes to get there. That was a light court for us so it rarely lasted more than an hour. I would get travel allowance and time and a half for overtime for a minimum of four hours. Go for it. |
