In the World of the Blind, We’re Often Led Off the Cliff

Marion, I am a bit late to this post, and i have enjoyed reading it.
I am feeling obliged to defend the BBC, may I just point out what it is exactly that the $300 covers.
BBC 1
BBC 2
8 RADIO STATIONS
6.5 ORCHESTRAS,
ALL THE “ONE OFF” STUFF, THRU’ OUT THE YEAR, eg THE PROMS.
I don’t like handing over my money either, but you do get a lot for your money with the BBC.

Wisconsin, what does it really mean?

I’ve been reading a lot of internet sites, newspaper etc over these last few days, and it appears to me, that the only people who seem to have things right is Ezra Klein and Rachel Maddow, this is nothing to do with Unions at all, this is the systematic destruction of the Democratic party, nothing more, nothing less, neutralising their base, cutting of funding etc, I do truly fear for the future of the US.
There are people all over the Middle East, giving up their lives to achieve the very freedoms, that the US are about to lose.
I’m very sad, I wish I was more hopeful, this is the kind of Dem destruction that Karl Rove could only dream of.

UNIVERSAL or bust

Good read, as a recipient and an employee of the UK HC system, I’m here to say, yes it does have problems, anything of that size will, but the basics are,
1. Everybody is gets to see the GP, or Specialist of their choice, of course most folk, don’t know who the Specialists are, so it is left to the GP, most often than not to choose one, but patients do have the right to change.
2. Most important, no one goes bankrupt paying medical bills, it is a “pay as you earn” scheme, National insurance is taken out of your wages, just like tax, so everyone pays, and the more you earn, the more you pay.
3. Personally, because I have to take Thyroxine daily, I am exempt from prescription charges, but the Scottish parliement only a few days ago, totally aboilished prescription charges, I think there probably was so many exemptions, it was not worth it.
Being an employee of the NHS, its something I deeply believe in, HC is a human right.

Help Keep The Planet In Orbit – Donate Today

Ta itchy, so we can just make a “one off” payment every month, as opposed to setting up a DD or SO, thru’ the bank.
OK.

Quite happy to make monthly contribution to you, will talk to my bank to see if it is possible from the UK, will get back to you soon on that.

The Deficit of Truth About Obama’s Budget

I suspect you are right, enjoyed your post.

» Posted By Fi On February 16, 2011 @ 2:06 am

Hi everyone, just picked this out from the Repubs budget “suggestions”
Rep Cory Gardner (R-Colo)
Would DENY salaries to Fed employees who develope HC exchanges under last years HC Bill.
It is one of a series of amendments aimed at impeding the implementation of the HC Bill.
Un-effing-believable.
Are these Repubs naturally stupid or do they have to practise?

An HP Moderator Replies

Hi, I did notice some getting more and more “mouthy” about the headlines there, and that includes me.

» Posted By Fi On February 15, 2011 @ 11:30 am

Same here, hi everyone.

» Posted By Fi On February 15, 2011 @ 11:27 am

I wish he would come across here, the guy just cracks me up.

Thanks JD

» Posted By Fi On February 14, 2011 @ 10:55 am

Yes I do, thank you for the welcome, I hope you are feeling better, I work within the NHS, in acute Cardiology, you?

» Posted By Fi On February 14, 2011 @ 10:51 am

I’m afraid I’m getting a bit too “short wired” to take anymore of the Anti Obama headlines.

Hello, from one nurse to another.

» Posted By Fi On February 14, 2011 @ 10:45 am

I go across too, but there are people I still like there, but I will do my best to have them come over here.

» Posted By Fi On February 14, 2011 @ 8:24 am

I’m really surprised I was not banned from HP, when I was seeing posts being deleted left, right and centre, I used to post, “is Roger Ailes on Mod duty today”, but nothing ever happened.

» Posted By Fi On February 14, 2011 @ 8:20 am

Tell me JD, the “fan count”, would it go down when one of your fans leaves the HP, because mine, really had quite a drop a few days ago, I just put it down to tro//s?

» Posted By Fi On February 14, 2011 @ 8:15 am

Welcome, just joined up yesterday too.

» Posted By Fi On February 14, 2011 @ 2:30 am

I’m guessing here, but HP must be dwindling by the day, so many folk including myself have come over.

A Short List of Pres. Obama’s Accomplishments

You could not believe the sigh of relief, that went around the world, when he was elected, got me out of bed at 4am that morning, and although hubby was happy he was elected, he asked me if he would still be POTUS at 7.30am that morning, and when I said yes, he said he would catch up with him then.

Everything from “Over There” belongs “Here!”

No probs Kalima, good morning.

Hi everyone, just before I take myself of to sleepy-byes, I thought I might leave you something to read.

Good to meet you too.

» Posted By Fi On February 16, 2011 @ 9:10 am

I have to admit itchy, thats all that keeps me going back, to see Freesia, Misgirltin, and the rest, I like them, and as soon as they come over here, I’ll quit the site.
Funnily enough I find the time differance can be a problem for me, I think by the time this site is in fully functioning mode, I’m tucked up in bed, but I’ll find a way thru’ it, never fear!

» Posted By Fi On February 16, 2011 @ 6:54 am

Thanx Truth, you could be right you know, in fact one of the posts was regarding a doc I watched on the BBC the other night, and apart from pointing out the USA, appears to having a “brain drain” at the moment, it was quite a neutral comment.

» Posted By Fi On February 16, 2011 @ 6:42 am

Itchy, I am so happy to see you, I have not deleted mine just yet, but the day is drawing closer and closer, I can feel it in my water.
I’ve only been here for a few days too, and still very much finding my feet.
Welcome

» Posted By Fi On February 16, 2011 @ 6:38 am

I have been across already today, and had 3 posts deleted, I was just saying Good morning to all the tro//s there, honest.

» Posted By Fi On February 16, 2011 @ 4:56 am

I have decided to make it my mission to visit HP everyday, and inform at least one other person about this website, don’t know if it will do any good, but I shall persevere.

» Posted By Fi On February 16, 2011 @ 2:13 am

LOL, thanx, I wondered what I had done to get a thumbs down, after 1/2 hour on the site.
