Do you know the difference between a hospital and insurance?

In reference to my comment you are quoting. Im showing the difference between two hospitals. One government operated the other privately owned.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

You don't want to answer the question because your mother was the beneficiary of LBJ's Big Government, Great Society, Single payer healthcare program, Medicare.

And she's damned lucky she had it too.

And so are you.

So next time you decide you want to take a cheap shot at government health care just remember, I'll be waiting to bitch slap yo ass.

You want a medal? The ACA has nothing to do with the VA. The systems are entirely different. You don't have to worry about anybody else making you look like a fool. You're doing a bang up job all on your own.

She saw the doc and they brought her in immediately to cut it off. The only things she needed to wait on was if prep was needed.

I know Dave you deal with the Veterans Hospital.
Most of these guys can't even take care of themselves and wouldn't take care of their mom if they could. That is why they are so adamant that somebody else be responsible for it.

No way they would pay for their own insurance. Just think how much beer, cigarette, and lottery ticket money that would waste. Bottom feeders.

I've been waiting to see whether you're capable of posting anything with any substance to it at all, rather than the occasional post offering insults to anyone you disagrees with. I'm satisfied that I have my answer now.

Welcome to my Ignore List, troll.

We're already responsible for it every time somebody without health insurance gets a sore throat and wanders into the ER for care. Everybody pays for it. In the cost of our insurance premiums and in the cost of the care we get because the unpaid bills run up our costs from our doctors and hospitals.

But I can already tell trying to talk to the likes of you about this is like trying to talk to Cliven Bundy about how he looks compared with his 16,000 fellow ranchers who pay their BLM grazing bill every year.

And lookit you. A whole 219 posts since 2011. You're a real go getter, eh? A real dedicated member of the community.

Aren't you the one that got inebriated and ran your tractor into a tree?
Trying to adjust my reference point before I can respond to your comment above.
