    How much is your life worth?

    Here are a few articles I have clipped out recently. And no they are not from Fox News. These are from the british health service. The government's claims to have significantly reduced waiting times in casualty are "overly optimistic" with patients waiting up to three-and-a-half days for a...

    some of the problems with socialized medicine are the lines for treatments (especially for cancer patients), shortage of anibiotics, the use of out dated technology, people being turned away from hospitals because there are people worse off. I went to school with a chick from britain. She...

    Stress

    If I have the day off I go rock climbing. Either to an indoor gym when its cold or outdoors when it is nice out. If I have work I play video games or talk to friends. A good party also helps relieve pressure.

    How much is your life worth?

    The right to an attorney is a constitutional freedom and a just one at that, at least on the federal level. For state offenses an attorney does not have to be appointed to the defense case. There are innocent people who are charged with crimes who do deserve an attorney. Even the guilty...

    Fox news does a good job of showing both sides of the war. The good and the bad. Try watching Fox news.

    My Website

    I dont know if any cf camps exist anymore. Too big a scare of cepacia and other bacteria being passed on. We did many fun things like go to Lagoon in salt lake, scuba dive, swim, water fights, etc.

    How much is your life worth?

    I did imply through taxation. I am a very big capitalist, however one of five things that should not be privatized is military. That is a scarry thought. National defense and health care are totally different things. Do not spin what i say.

    Calling any CF people who drink

    All i need to say is my family is Irish. I used to drink at family get togethers, and for a short while after moving out of my moms house I drank. The last time I had any sort of alcohol was over a year ago and I wont touch the stuff again. I had a full bottle of scotch, a few beers ( dont...

    Think you pay too much for prescription meds? This will make you mad

    Investing in a new drug (which hasnt even been created yet) is a very risky investment. Why would an investor risk a lot if the return wasnt going to be great? I am an investor myself (real estate) and I would want as much security as possible when I invest. The promise of advertising is a big...

    Think you pay too much for prescription meds? This will make you mad

    The reason for prescription meds is due to the cost of research. It takes 20 years to develop a drug and get it in the clinical trial stage(for most drugs). A good analogy for the cost of meds is comparing it to oil drilling. You can drill 10 dry holes before you have a successful drill...
