Soldier killed in Afghanistan re-enlisted to get health care coverage for family

US a Third World country? Possibly, but what does a man or woman need to be "Wealthy"? If ya have your health you have EVERYTHING so goes the saying well, my tonic does that => http://current.com/items/90879038_prospectors-health-tonic-tricks-they-didnt-hav... but on that page I made many extra posts telling about a great lot more than tonic, for those who find the time to read, I revealed the wealth of Egypt on that page.

People can achieve such a high excellence of health as to feel like supermen and superwomen, and giving birth to superior health children in both Mind and Body.

What does CNN do that is not disgusting? Extrapolate that statement to all corporate media.

Well, tone it down from now on. I'm too busy worrying about $1.00 a week peasants building an army and nuclear submarine-equipped navy to attack us to have to deal with sarcasm.

Wow. What an enlightening comment! Glad to know that. KKKlownFondler

Is your disguise working with the unsuspecting schoolkids? Just curious.

Love,
Liberal garbage.

PS, I am normally a heterosexual by nature but I am so fucking red-hot gay for you, you semi-literate, testosterone emitting, manly-man.
Torture me, bitch.
Why can't I quit you?

Now just one doggone minute Abraham99 if that's your real name. If we don't go OVER THERE they'll sink a trillion-$$$$ into building theirself a Navy and come over HERE.

Truth be told.....

Happens every four years too. New man goes in, someone reads him the short version, total character change from being the candidate.

lots. guaranteed.

Afghanistan has become the top supplier only after it was "visited" then magically forgotten along with the whole reason for the "war" in the first place(finding Osama) creating a not-so-good vaccuum..As much as I hate the fact that we are STILL occupying both countries, you cannot altogether forget what administration started what...WE are still over there, but the bigger fight seems to be between the parties or the sides....ah well..

Yes. Is the media giving it balanced coverage? No.

there are plenty of protests on Afghanistan...i was invited to one just a couple of weeks ago

So do you know how to remove a cancerous tumor from your body, do you know how to give yourself a prostate exam, do you know how to obtain a liver then remove your bad one and replace it, do you know how to remove your wisdom teeth? Get the point? I get your point on exercising and dieting, that's basic knowledge and it's a pipedream to think everyone will live a healthy lifestyle, but even the healthiest people in the world need medical treatment and exams throughout their life. To say we can solve this health care crisis just by eating better and exercising more is ridiculous.

I removed an entire group of plantar warts rooted deep into my palm. Used a very sharp razor blade and pliers. I also ripped a cancer growth from my nostril. Flesh around it came out and some blood. I had seen 5 different "specialists" and they couldn't do their job so I probed around and found it and pulled it out.

American doctors suck rotten eggs. I worked as a truck driver most my adult life and they kept passing me through truck driver D.O.T. physicals, all of em saying I was physically fine. Until I had an accident and a real doctor found out I had lived my life with a thyroid crippled by illness that never worked right and left me suffering from hypothermia many times.

Thing is that if people were responsible for themselves, insurance would primarily be used on just those extreme ailments rather than general practice.

Being uninsured for over 8 years taught me to take care of myself or else...... Too bad if I did have any of these problems the doctors themselves would neglect any preventative care as I do not have insurance. Still it only costs me $40 to see my general practice doctor while he charges the insurance companies $120......

newamerica2012 thanks for the response,,,,,,,,,I live in a different belief system than you, and know that these physical health problems will exist if you don't take measures to prevent them. THen in the case of being diagnosed you can go the western medical route or go the route my husband went with lung cancer , no chemo no medication no doctors, now it's no cancer, no prostrate problem ,no nothing because we found an alternative route and all I'm saying is that everyone has a choice and this is just one.

NORWAY! yea taxes are high, so what?

But Wal-mart doesn't give health insurance to most of its employees.

Agreed!

He's also dead prematurely.

As was is potential responsibility when he made his choice.

His father says it perfectly, "Healthcare, its gonna be tough."

CNN is already doing a bang-up job of spinning it for themselves. How does nobody see that CNN/NBC is just as full of shit as Fox is?

@ares: tooooo true, ALL of those talking heads need to be taken ton of salt.

JJ, our military health care is pretty good. I would be willing to compare it to any since I've been out.

So is Congress's....

and yet they find it gravely difficult to hand over anything to everyone else.

I believe the military health care system is better then any civilian health care available. Something to do with lower cost and less administrative overhead... and of course, some of the best trained doctors in the industry.

Liberal! Seriously, I could hardly disagree.
The health care infrastructure in America is critical and it must be fixed.
Ideology aside, it is incumbent on a free nation to recognize the basic right to health, food, air and clean water, as well as the obvious freedoms so documented in the Constitution.
That is a simple concept.
It is a moral imperative and essential in maintaining a competitive and strong nation that is capable of both making it's mark in the global and defending it's values in the world, such as they may or may not be at any given juncture.
Nations of the free world that have their act together in this regard are in a majority, and they in pretty good shape to both weather this depression and face the challenges of the future.
Until America faces this looming issue head-on and deals with it *appropriately*, she'll be the last to recover, if at all.
It's a fundamental structural underpinning of a succesful society.
I personally do not care who gets credit for it as long as it gets done.

Spot on!

Professional military, throughout history, has been regarded as a job. Roman legionares worked for the army because they paid the best. That isn't new.

What is new is he is joining for health insurance and not money, which used to be able to buy things like heath care.

CalPerr the Roman military are you kidding thats one hell of a time warp. And thats one war machine that I don't want the US to become.

yeah i know so many guys from high school who are joining the army, joining the navy - because they cant pay for college. there needs to be more options for young adults, growing families to meet our needs.

My point is, is has been that way forever.

The civil war was fought for money. Recent enough?

Not much of a story.
If American neocons conspire to demonise and assassinate Chavez for his country's riches, shouldn't he spit in their face?
If not, please explain.

This is why I don't bother to get health insurance, because of the denial of coverage nightmares I always hear about. They always find a way not to pay, even though you pay your premiums every month and thought you were covered. I mean what a waste of money. Just stay as healthy as you can and do the free clinic thing.

That's what I'm saying. I got bronchitis about a week ago and mix that with asthma, it was hell! Going to the doctor wasn't an option, because I don't have health insurance, so I just gorged on veggies & soup and avoided the whole money mess w/insurance and doctors.

takes about the same amount of time to get over bronchitis with meds as it does to get off of them... sure it may be easier, but are anti-biotics necessary all of the time??

Nowadays I just keep up on eating the foods that boost my immune system and spike those foods if I start getting sick.....

That's all fine and good as long as you don't develop cancer or any other disease that will be terminal without medical care.

Your body knows how to heal itself, without being joined at the hip to doctors. Americans spend so much money paying for prescription drugs and cough syrup derived from poisonous tree sap they don't eat right, so they keep getting sick and having the cancers you mention.

Knowledge is the key. Cells only turn cancerous after they're abused, which damages cell mitochondria, so if you eat right you avoid the cell damage that causes cancer creation in the first place. But that also means quitting excess sugar and caffeine, because they short circuit the cell mitochondria.

50% of cancer happens to people who abuse themselves and another 40+% of cancer "victims" is people who are gross overweight, so if you eat right you can indeed never have cancer. And if you do anyway? Do what people have always done die. But die with dignity as a free man and free woman not groveling on your knees begging a doctor to give you a few minutes of their precious time if they can.
