no it works out that nicely for most people random thoughts Send a noteboard - 31/08/2011 01:36:13 PM
My wife works with a guy who twisted his leg snow skying and he has no insurance. The state gave him an MRI and are paying to have an operation o his knee. My Mother-in-law had no health insurance and a lot of medical problems so they put her in clinic program where she could get regular care and discounted medication. If you go to the local county hospital about 70% of the children being born there are being born to women who are in the country illegally and both them and their children are being given free high quality health care. I don't think Texas gets accused of being a blue state very often.


Yes it is harder if you don't have insurance but the idea that people without insurance can't get medical treatment is a fallacy. Even the ones like the guy I mentioned with the bad knee who can afford a week in Vail bit can't afford insurance.

How do you call towns "cities"? Tom - 30/08/2011 08:12:27 PM 560 Views
I thought you were going to mention Perth. The rest are clearly cities, if you ask me. Legolas - 30/08/2011 08:23:33 PM 545 Views
Perth has 1.7 million people. Nate - 30/08/2011 08:30:26 PM 696 Views
You kind of inadvertently prove the point... Legolas - 30/08/2011 09:21:18 PM 776 Views
So I see! Nate - 30/08/2011 09:45:27 PM 793 Views
A million people isn't a city? Nate - 30/08/2011 08:28:20 PM 711 Views
Not necessarily. Tom - 30/08/2011 10:49:08 PM 680 Views
You could be right re: population density. Nate - 30/08/2011 11:06:36 PM 622 Views

As a comparison ... Nate - 30/08/2011 08:37:28 PM 740 Views

Livability obviously doesn't include "Concentration of Venomous Creatures". *NM* TaskmasterJack - 30/08/2011 11:43:43 PM 339 Views
or perhaps Australian cities rank so high because they're so much better than the alternative Zaphod - 30/08/2011 11:58:47 PM 646 Views
Actually, the reason our cities are so liveable is because they're built to keep said creatures out Colonel Logain - 31/08/2011 12:59:01 AM 564 Views
How? ironclad - 31/08/2011 08:20:01 AM 534 Views
I can't risk putting the answer on a public forum, the venomous creatures may find out Colonel Logain - 01/09/2011 07:26:52 AM 481 Views
Why no Boston? *NM* Ghavrel - 31/08/2011 12:16:28 AM 329 Views
Annoyingness of local sports fans was also taken into consideration. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/08/2011 12:31:21 AM 424 Views
Obviously the study group consists of Yankees fans. Poor, unfortunate souls. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/08/2011 12:46:17 AM 304 Views
A low population density seems to be a key determinant in these rankings Colonel Logain - 31/08/2011 12:51:45 AM 527 Views
There is an obvious mistake Druid - 31/08/2011 03:07:31 AM 817 Views
