    big deal. he can't get his blood work until he pays $7. give me a fsking break.

    obviously it wasn't life threatening, otherwise they would have treated him.

    this person is so stupid, they even returned a second time sans the 7 bucks and still asked to be treated for free.

    I think this sentence pretty much sums up how her mind is completely infested with the the idiotic socialistic mind-set:

    "Did my husband return to the doctor's office to tell them what happened and ask for their help? Yes. And he said not one person, not one, would reach into their pockets and give him the $7..."

    Who the heck should give these lunatics $7?

    "We'll get the tests done somehow."

    Gee, how about by bringing the $7 you owe. Maybe on your third visit?

      You're starting to sound more and more like LibsR. Very unfortunate.

        Based on the article, I was sortof wondering the same thing. Why not just pay the $7? It really can't be a stand on principle, because there's no mention that he doesn't owe the money. So why doesn't he pay?

        On the other hand, it's freakin' $7, people. Do the tests and make him pay for it later - send him to collections if you have to over the $7. Kinda like when I have an overdue fine of (what would the equivalent be, 25 cents?) at Blockbuster, and though it's against official policy, they let me rent another movie anyway, and ask me to make sure I bring enough to pay the fine next time.

        You're such a caring and empathetic person, tadair. Hope karma bites you on your butt someday but I'd doubt you'd feel it or even care. lol.

          if you believe in karma, then you must also believe that "hoping bad karma gets me" will beget bad karma getting you. how about that, little one?

          I see you glazed over the post above where I said that it already happened to me. The government-operated Department of Motor Vehicle put me into an antagonizing bureaucratic loop over a late insurance payment rendering my car inoperable until I sent them a fax proving my insurance. And I don't even have a fax machine. I had to go to Kinkos costing me more time and money to go with the, arbitrary DMV fines.

          It's how government works.

          But I didn't show up to the DMV demanding somebody else pay for my fsking bill. Surely somebody should "make a call," or "pull out their wallets" for me. Poor, poor me. What am I to do if I don't have the government to do everything for me?

            Labcorp. isn't government. So your point (TRYING TO EQUATE DENIAL OF CAR REGISTRATION TO A LAB TEST FOR A PERSON WITH A SEVERE HEART CONDITION) is moot and extremely callous.

              callous? hardly. since you obviously didn't get the connection. please, allow me to cut this up and feed it to you in smaller chunks.

              this is a letter from a socialist damning the capitalistic system for its' "failure" to provide service to her husband because they still owed a measly $7.

              this letter was posted on michael moore's website, who promotes a government-controlled heath-care system.

              the intention was to fuel the government-must-control-our-health care fire.

              my response was that of another example of how the a government-controlled institution can be just as bad, if not worse.

              still with me?

              in conclusion, my philosophy on life does not mandate that i would ever expect other people to pick up the slack for me. i would never expect somebody to pull their wallets out and give me $7 like this codependant socialist scum of the planet who kept showing up to the doctors office without the money.

                Don't cut any thing up for me. If you had something worth a damn saying then you should have spelled it out clearly from the git. You purposely framed your fetid comment that way realizing the ambiguity. You can have the last word, because frankly, I don't want to talk to you anymore.

                  that's your fault, not mine.

                  if you think its ambiguous to compare universal health care to another government controlled operation, then you need to sharpen your observational skills.

              'if you believe in karma, then you must also believe that "hoping bad karma gets me" will beget bad karma getting you.'

              And actually, even telling him that would be considered bad karma to you, as well. 8)

              Ah, the never-ending wheel of Universal Justice... 8P

                Do you have bad karma now, too?

            You must be a good conservative Christian you fricken turd ball. I try and understand the conservative mind but it is so foreign and completely void of any consideration of other human beings. If there were a hell you and your fellow cons would burn in it for all eternity 8-P
