This was a really great show, lots of great topics and a great discussion. Really enjoyed it.
I watched the movie “Sicko” and I found it to be a fantastic movie, sad, but really good. I just really hope that more people will go see it. No one around here has but then we live in the Bible/Republican belt, you’d think they’d be the ones who’d want this because they’re poor and are getting poorer, but, whatever.
I’m in a situation where I’m living at home and hopefully won’t be before too long. Hopefully I’ll have a job, elsewhere. I could literally move anywhere I want to. I have been thinking about other countries, not really looking into it, just thinking about it. The main reason is because I don’t have health insurance and with my medical conditions I just don’t even want to try because I’m pretty sure I’d be denied. The only thing about moving to another country is that the grass always looks greener on the other side but every country has it’s problems and also if something was to happen it’d be harder to travel back home or whatever. But then, still, you’d be somewhere where they actually wanted to take care of you! That’s what I keep going back and forth on.
You mentioned that a condo in Candada is $160,000. Here (to put it into perspective) for that kind of money you can have a REALLY, REALLY nice house. A REAL house, not a mobile home. Probably even with a decent amount of property, a few acres. A mobile home, a decent sized one, double wide goes for about $55,000 (new), $29,000 (used, double wide). But then, there isn’t anything around here and you have to have a car. It takes an hour (for me) to get to a Wal-Mart, movies, Apple Store, etc. BUT, there are other cities obviously with more stuff.
YAY! Jenn’s a Star Trek fan!!!
Where was Shawno on that list?
LOL @ how I spelled Canada. I apologize for always writing so much.
We know how to deal with the trailer trash here in Dallas:

That is, we thought we did. Damn those alternative media do-gooders!

Didn’t see “Sicko” and am not going to. Micheal Moore was funny on TV, in his movies he does get his point across but they are depressing and predictable. What got me worried was when Jen said something like “they take you to the hospital and actually take care of you”. That’s how it is here in the Netherlands. Last year my mom had a minor heart attack, they took her to the hospital, underwent surgery, the doctor put her on medication, total cost about $25,000. She didn’t have to pay for it, but that doesn’t mean it’s free. Nothing is free, except sunshine.
Most countries including the U.S. have this thing called “taxes”. They use it to pay for basic needs like education, buildings, roads etc. and healthcare, but for some reason the U.S. thinks healthcare is not a basic need. Probably because Americans are allergic to taxes. Americans don’t want to pay taxes but if they have to they want something in return like those big ass missiles to bomb Iraq, with lots of fireworks ‘n stuff. Just get a system where every time you order a beer 20 percent goes to the government. It may take some getting used to and it does mean the price of beer will go up, but when your liver fails people will take care of you.
Where would you be moving, if you did end up heading north?
I’m in eastern canada, (prince edward island). I could show you the ropes. And the moose.
