From: james kaveney [mailto:jkav@charter.net] Good morning
From: MECHMAN001@aol.com [mailto:MECHMAN001@aol.com] George....sorry this is taking so long to get back to you on this missive. First of all, I have personal knowledge on this subject. Randy's mom who resides in Vancouver, B.C. had to go to the emergency room late one evening and remained in the hallway for at least a day or so. They could not find her a room for her anywhere. So, where did they put her? In a closet room! The room was quite small but they did get another person pushed in there too! The room was used to store the crutches and slings they used for broken arms, etc. I find that in Canada, since I lived there for awhile, that the majority of people who use the medical insurance there use it for EVERYTHING! Got a cold, go to the doctor. Got a sprained toe, go to the doctor. Since it is paid for through their taxes they reallly use it! It puts a strain on the medical facilities and the quality of care is really poor....at times. My personal opinion of course. My mother who had Kaiser Permanente insurance for close to 50 years had some major clitches as well. Since my mom's insurance was paid for through her civil service work, she had very little out of pocket expense. BUT.....while she was in the hospital for a month prior to her death, I had to fight tooth and nail to keep her in the hospital room! Once the doctor thought she was well enough to go home he sent the discharge nurse to me. She was totally unprofessional! She wanted my mom's bed and she wasn't going to take "no" for an answer...it was a Friday and they wanted that room! I argued with her that my mom couldn't even get out of bed and how in the hell was I going to get her in the car to get her home??? I even told her that she would probably die on the way home. I was able to get the nurse to finally say that I could have at least the weekend to make arrangements to get her home. The sad part of all this is that my mom heard the conversation outside the room. I had been in the emergency room many times with my mom in the last few years of her life and it was a rare time that I got a doctor and nurses who I could fully understand....why? Because most of the staff are foreigners, with the majority of them coming from either Asia or the Philippines.... A good friend of ours, whose mother is living with her had a similar experience. Another horrible experience with a bad infection. Her mom now does not want to go to any hospital here in Las Vegas because she is scared that she will become a statistic! Oh yeah, she has Blue Cross/Blue Shield. It is not the insurance and whether the government or privately you pay for it......JUST DON'T GET SICK!! And you are screwed big time if you are a senior or have a loved one going through any system! oxox

From: fred Shortsleeve [mailto:fredshortsleeve@yahoo.com] Hey George - The Dempublican government prints money and gives it to us? That's what the Confederate government did with their non specie paper money. By the middle of the war, people could light their cigars with it.-Fred
From: Ampsjr@aol.com [mailto:Ampsjr@aol.com] George - I read a while ago, a study on CO2 output. It seems a person jogging puts out more CO2 [I don't remember the exact number] than a car traveling the same distance. It's a good thing this info wasn't made too available, or otherwise can you imagine a BAN ON POLKA DANCES because it is environmentally un-friendly, not to mention the methane produced by kielbasa, pierogi and kapusta.
