  2. I would love to make that my next part time gig.

    Special forces really isn't a part time gig, so that might not be an option. It would be fun though. I would expect that there will be go dead Egyptians but we won't hear most of the news

  3. Al CIAda is a group used by the New World Order to destabilize a country, and make them have to borrow money (to rebuild and protect themselves) from the banks that fund Al CIAda. It's all about the Benjamins.

  4. So have I. The NHS is not perfect either, but nobody goes bankrupt through medical bills when they get sick, nobody has any reason to delay preventative treatment until more aggressive intervention is required, and nobody worries that they'll have to choose between life-saving medical care or providing for their families. Nobody worries about in-network, out of network, reasonable-and-customary, annual limits, lifetime limits, deductibles, copays, in-network-coverage percentages versus out-of-network percentages, pre-approval or any of that bullshit.

    For non-life-saving treatment going to the doctor is just the start of the crap. You can spend months chasing the paperwork to ensure you got paid correctly. I once spent 18 months chasing payments from an insurance company that made mistake after mistake after mistake, denying coverage at every turn until I finally proved they were under-paying me. It's bullshit start to finish.

    I've been treated under NHS and under the US system, and I'll say the US system is faster for electives if you are willing to pay, but that life-saving and preventative health care is the same in both countries, with the UK sparing us the paperwork burden of the US system.

    Neither system is perfect, but I'd rather have people wait-listed for electives than people (both insured and non-insured) bankrupted by major medical expenses.

    Most recent example... I broke my nose last year. Did the same thing in England when I was a teenager.

    US: Went to the ER. Got an x-ray and a MRI. Got my Dx and was discharged with referral to ENT. $2600. Out of pocket due to HDHP insurance. Went to ENT the next day, scheduled closed reduction surgery. Went to surgery, stayed 4 hours, discharged. Paid the ENT $2000. Paid the surgery center $3000. All out of pocket due to HDHP. End of the day I spent 6 months following up on paperwork to make sure that the amount applied to my deductible was appropriate and connecting bills from 4 different sources (ENT, ER, Surgery center, anesthesiologist) and reviewing the health plan to correct deduction limits and THEN found out the surgery center is either in-or-out of network depending on who did the surgery, so both ENT or SC bills may be applied to out-of-network deductible instead. I didn't choose the anesthesiologist and the SC didn't check my network so we didn;t know if HE was in or out, which would have knocked the SC out of network. Argued it out and got the deductible applied back to IN-network deductible. Final out-of-pocket wound up being a little over $8k, which took my months to pay back. And my wife and I both earn 6 figures and have typical employer-provided insurance.

    England: Went to ER. Got x-ray and MRI. They treated me and scheduled a closed reduction surgery for 3 days out. Went to outpatient surgery center and had the op. Stayed in the center for about 4 hours then went home. That was the end of it.

    If your combined income is over $200k then your poor finances are to blame for the difficulty in paying your bills

  5. People do die because of insurance companies freedom, because Insurance companies won't insure you if you have pre-existing conditions, if they do, the deductible is $5000 a year and the premiums are insane, something nobody can afford.

    In Germany insurance companies have to abide by guidelines and are NOT allowed to turn you away for a pre-existing condition.

    I work in healthcare and it pains me to see sick people, poor and middle class or people that lost their job and their health insurance and they can't afford their $100 inhaler to enable them to breath, or they can't go see the doctor because they can't afford it.

    So these sick people will eventually succumb to their chronic diseases and in NO country should this happen.

    The USA is the one of the worst in healthcare in the western world amongst other things.

    The profit motive of the pharm company is the reason that $100 inhaler exists. Take away the profit andvthere won't even be an inhaler to buy.

  6. Ha, unfortunately you are partially correct. It will run for one more final season prior to being cancelled. Also, the Snooki and Jwow spinoff got renewed for a second season. I'm not a fan of either show but these are 2 out of the 3 shows my fiance forces me to watch. I feel like I am lowering by iQ by viewing them sometimes. :(

    You should dump her otherwise you are convicting yourself to a lifetime of misery

  7. Esoteric is the ONLY place in Central Ohio if you want a real detail and paint correction...he was named one of the top 10 detailers in the country. My buddy that basically transformed my G35 paint learned everything he knows from him.

    I want referrals to people like your buddy. Know his shit but might just be getting started. I will send hoblick a pm

  8. You dont want the car because of a dent but want the paint corrected? If it is not bad why not get the dent fixed then sell it? I dont know about you but a shinny paint job isnt going to bring the value back IMO, getting the dent fixed would though. It will probably cost the same to get the dent fixed as it would to fix the paint.

    The carfax now shows an accident and people's imagination runs wild when they go to purchase. Having the car clean allows a thorough inspection and unrepaired damage allows the buyer to fully understand what they are getting into.

    No I don't want to drive a repaired vehicle I will always think about it. Besides it is a chance to get out of my E55 and step it up a a notch or three
