Scott in SF said: (quoted from post at 20:07:41 07/22/09) Dave, your portion of your health insurance may be $150, but your employer is kicking in way more than that as part of your compensation package. I am not sure what the point of your post is. As a disabled police officer and a current fire fighter I have two health care for life promises. I know that the taxpayers are helping me big time, like they are you. No one in the US, espically if they have pre existing conditions, is buying insurance for $150 a month.
Only thing the tax payer does for me is pay my wages. Of course the employer pays half or a percentage of coverage. If you want to find a point which I wasn't trying to make, I guess it would be the big difference in coverage cost between here and the States and the difference in wages for doctors (you don't find an ear, nose, throat specialist making 300k unless they are hooking and dealing drugs on the side). Maybe the key to lower prices is more people with insurance?? But I don't know what the answer would be to getting care prices down.
Germans are all covered, those with jobs pay a percentage of their income and a fee (10 bucks or so) for each visit and a percentage of dental work. Those without work pay nothing for 100% coverage.
The prices I quoted were total prices because I pay 100% up front cash then get reimbursed minus deductable from my insurance.
Just a question.... How can someone that is too broke to eat donuts be sound enough to fight fires???

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
