Legion is correct about the history of the republicans and the fight for black rights. For additional info, look up the history of the Union League Club of both New York and Philadelphia. These places are bastions of republicanism yet it was they that sponsored the Lincoln agenda. In fact, the ULC of New York sponsored the “Colored Militia” of the Civil War.
DIBS,
VPI insurance,
they pay about 2/3’s for routine check ups.
I haven’t used it for anything major but it is there if surgery is required, they will pay about 80% of costs.
about $400 per annum.
Don’t mean to run, but gotta go to work now,
millions are depending on me.
Dave, I know someone who had pet insurance (granted several years back) and was shocked and dismayed to find that it didn’t cover a damned thing. They went through the same thing as you would in people insurance – pre-existing condition exclusions and the like. It was a nightmare for them and they damn near bankrupted themselves trying to fight cancer in a dog. Heartbreaking and wallet breaking all at the same time.
Legion….what has been your experience with pet insurance. I never got it because I always thought it wouldn’t cover an awful lot.
A few questions:
1. Who did you get it through?
2. What does it pay for routine checkups?
3. have you ever used it for the typical catastrophic, usually end-of-life hospital stay for a pet?
We once spent a mind boggling amount of money on our first cat, at the end of his like, a 19 year old Burmese. We will never do that again
This is from yesterday’s OT; not to go all Right on you folks, but the truth shall set you free;
bxgrl,
I will refer you once again to the actual facts of the situation.
There is no “crisis” in healthcare at this time except for the fact that it is rife with fraud and abuse. For the most part, people who are sick get treated. In NYC it is the LAW!
If you are sick, you walk into the ER, you get treated, NO QUESTIONS ASKED! In fact, this is why California’s healthcare system is now going bankrupt, people who are not insured and not citizens of this nation have placed an excessive burden on the system.
I will repeat the facts:
of the 47 million “uninsured”
-20 million are at double or more of the income level of the federal guidelines to receive medicaid benefits. That is, they can BUY insurance if they choose to.
-9 million are persons already insured under the current medicaid system.
-7 million are persons that are citizens of another sovereign nation.
-3.5 million are people that would qualify for one of the current programs if they would take the time to sign up.
That leaves approximately 7-10 million actually uninsured.
Why would we re-invent the wheel and 1/5 of our economy to accomodate 7-10 million? simply work within the system and improve the current system. The system that provides the highest level of healthcare in the world.
As far as the agenda behind all this, you need only look into the name Saul Aulinsky to understand that President Obama is an avowed neo-marxist, he truly believes in re-distribution of wealth, just as Reagan truly believed in trickle-down economics. Reagan’s model has been proven to work, Obama’s model has been proven to fail. That’s the difference. Not saying President Obama is a bad man, just on the wrong side of history and historical economic fact.
As far as your idea that Republicans stand for racism, violence and naziism, I will again refer to the facts:
The party of Lincoln was founded on the ideas of abolition of slavery. Lincoln was a Republican, as was Harriet Tubman, as was Frederick Douglas, as was Soujourner Truth, as were the first Black American Senators.
For 100 years after slavery was ended, the Republican party fought for civil rights, from the amendments in the 1860’s to the civil rights acts in the 1960’s, Republicans stood side by side with the disenfranchised in America to fight for equality. At every step of the way, the Democrats fought against civil rights. This is history if you cafe to look it up. The Democrats fought against voting rights in the 1860’s, the Democrats started the KKK as a response to the new rights of Black Americans in the South. the Democrats wrote the Jim Crow laws after taking over the House, Senate and Presidency in the 1890’s. This Democratic obstruction to civil righs continued with the Wilson administration (he was a southern democrat) as he de-segrated the federal governement. In the early 1960’s, when schools were being desegrated, those were Democratic Governors standing in the way of progress, people like Lester Maddox. That was a Democratic official aiming fire hoses and letting loose vicious dogs on Black Americans, look up the name “Bull” Connor if you don’t believe me. It took Nixon and his affirmative action program to redress that wrong done by Wilson. Reagan signed MLK day into a national holiday, MLK himself was a repubican early on, just ask his niece Dr. Alveda King who is to this day a Republican.
By the way, the NAACP was started by Black Republicans.
bxgrl, you seriously have to read up on the history of the Democratic party if you believe what you say about the Republican party.
is pet insurance worth it? i mean, i definitely know it is cuz operations for pets can be mad expensive, but i mean do they cover well? or is it just for basic stuff? does obama’s health care reform cover animals as well? it should.
I’m also hoping Mr. B posts my facade renovation thread today.

I love doing kitchen and bath renovations.

Legion – I couldn’t plow through your entire diatribe but question your assertion that Reagan’s trickle worked. WTF?
