The prices may vary because of location.

Nwando,I dey talk of free healthcare,you dey talk "prices may vary because of location" like one of those dodgy ads grin You know those ones they promise you heaven and earth and then at the bottom in small print they will write,"prices may vary because of location grin

I'm happy to hear that an uncovered person can walk into any healthcare centre in the US and get an MRI Scan for $15 or thereabout. . . . . .never knew that.

In the UK,its free,that is why Barack is winning votes with healthcare issues.

4play,I happen to work in the health care industry.
quote me on this
NO AMERICAN CAN BE DENIED CARE AT ANY PUBLIC HEALTH FACILTY USUALLY CALLED COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS FOR FAILURE TO PAY.
They have federal funding and that is the law.
I happen to work in one of them,we can't turn anyone away
Don't believe all that hype of politics
America takes care of it's poor very well.
So anyone without coverage can walk in for a routine health check up,like in the UK, and you guys will simply allow him or do you have to wait for manifestation of illness? Abi,you guys don't believe in "prevention is better than cure"?

As for those talking of crime.The US has 3 times the murder rate of the UK. A woman is at least 6 times more likely to be raped in the US than in the UK. . . .are people in the US that Hot? The US also has higher levels of sexual assault.

Free health like the one at Aba General hospital?

Pay for health insurance and choose your insurance.

Call your doctor at 1 PM and come in and be seen at 2PM
That's health insurance
Not free mass health care from overworked,overburdened and underpaid Paki doctors that are doing rectal exams without changing gloves grin
If you can afford health insurance in the US,you can afford it in the UK.I prefer BUPA here to the NHS.However,the fact still remains that unlike the US(where a whopping 40m don't have coverage)you are still entitled to free healthcare just in case you can't afford or don't want private coverage.

When Obama is prancing around talking about universal health coverage,look at the applause he gets.No need pretending that Americans are satisfied with their health care situation.Some even have to go to Canada.

no really, if they would have intervened earlier? its because they were deciding on which nation to take out first. Germany or Japan. If America diverted its attention to the pacific, Germany might crush both the S.You and Britain, then emerge unconquerable. But if Germany was knocked out first. . .you know the rest. not because they were slow witted, the war is being planned out at that point. FDR wanted to go for Germany, American citizens wanted to go for Japan. . .
I have never heard this version of history before.The US only intervened because of Pearl Habor.If not for Pearl Harbor,they would have been idling on the sidelines until Germany's nuclear programme came to fruition.

We blacks would probably be debating all these issues from zoos.

The US single-handedly forced the Japs into a surrender. The British had most of their naval fleet decimated by the Japs . . . the only thing the British had going for them was the large number of forces they could muster from their colonies.
Forget all that Hollywood version of history.The Soviets in particular,alongside the Chinese and the Brits were responsible for most of Japan's casualties.

You mentioned the atomic bomb.The US only embarked on producing an atomic bomb upon joining the war,had they not joined,Germany was ahead in the race to produce an atomic bomb.If the US and the Soviets never joined the war,Germany would have been the sole nuclear power.

Maybe mushroom clouds in California and New York would have made the point clearer to the Americans that Germany posed a threat to everybody.

As for Liberia,if non-colonised entities like Liberia and Ethiopia are as wretched as they are today,how is the state of Africa today the fault of Britain?

the Brits were the ones enduring bombing raids on London, why didnt they act earlier to stop the war?
That is why its good to watch the History Channel.Britain, virtually alone, fought Germany and Japan to a standstill for 2 years while the Soviets were in bed with Hitler and the Yanks were playing the ostrich.

If not for the UK,Germany would have had free reign over Europe with time to consolidate and take on the US.

They posed more of a greater threat to weaker nations like the UK.
The war was primarily won by the US and Russia . . . nations like Britain just like to run around claiming the credit for what they didnt contribute to. The major contribution of the Brits to the world is an unstable Africa and the Middle east.
The US primarily won what?The Soviet Union alone was responsible for over 80% of Germany's military casualties.The UK and the US were responsible for roughly 15% of the rest ,with the UK having a fairly higher responsibility for the German war dead than the US.

Without the UK holding back the Germans and the Japs virtually alone for 2 years,the US would have had to face the wrath of the Axis powers alone.At worst they will be defeated,at best they would have been isolated like North Korea.

As for Britain's contribution to Africa,check out other countries.Liberia is officially the poorest country in West Africa,I wonder who colonised it.Are the French and Portguese colonies any better? What about Ethiopia which was not colonised?

Well,if not for Britain,you will be answering Mallam Dawudu Yusuf. . .tell me how you would have turned back those Fulani Jihadist that had taken Ilorin. grin

am not saying that American should not be mocked, but if you read American history from G.W.'s presidency,you'll know why Americans have been trying to keep out of war that has nothing to do with the Americans
But the 2nd World War had a lot to do with Americans,Americans were just too slow witted to realise until they were bombed.Had they intervened earlier,the war would have been more easily won with far less human costs.They are still paying for elements of the war-check out the impasse with North Korea or the Cold war with the Soviets .

Inaction can just be as costly,even costlier,as action.

At least the Americans didnt have to endure bombing raids and hiding in bomb shelters.
The Japs kicked their asses at pearl Harbour . . . well the Japs had their entire bodies kicked, battered and bruised at Yokohama and Nagashaki . . . u ask them, they still have a memorial till today.
So its the Brits who took on the Axis powers as a matter of principle that deserved to be mocked rather than the Yanks who had to wait till they were bombed to realise what was clear to discerning people-that the Axis power posed a threat to humanity as a whole not just Europe and Asia.

The boy declares "I place my trust in God. I need to kill you", before stabbing the US president in the chest, in the programme on the al-Aqsa station.
Watch: George W Bush murdered on Hamas puppet show

But the Palestinian child informs him that the White House has already been taken over by Great Ones and has been turned into a "great mosque" which Mr Bush is too "impure" to inhabit.

"You took everything from me, Bush! I must take revenge on you, with this sword of The Great Religion, the Prophet's Al-Battar sword."

"I will kill you just like Mu'az killed Abu Lahab. I will kill you, Bush, because that is your fate," the child exclaims, before stabbing the puppet repeatedly.

The clip - translated by The Middle East Media Research Institute (Memri), an independent monitoring organisation - ends with the boy's words: "Ahhh, I killed him".

Last year al-Aqsa prompted a similar controversy by broadcasting a show featuring a Mickey Mouse-like character who urges Palestinian children to support armed resistance.

The Israeli foreign ministry denounced the programme and issued a lengthy statement accusing the programme-makers of using seeking to "indoctrinate Palestinian children to violence, hatred and murder".
Classic lines from the adherents of the religion of peace.

The Mancs were spanking the Romans and asking them,"Who is your daddy"?Or as the Hausa people say to their wives,"I dey get am,kwo"?

John O'Sh*t was not even troubled.We were fairly comfortable for most of the game except for a few scary moments at the beginning of the 2nd half.

Despite our win,I still felt we were handicapped by starting with a 4--3-3 formation,Fergie admitted as much in the post-match conference where he said he should have gone to 4-4-2 earlier.Great win though,even Park Ji "hide your dog" Sung was made to look good.

The game highlighted the demise of the Serie A.For a Serie A top 2 side to resemble a bunch of mediocrities was telling.

I wonder how long Vidic's injury is for.Fergie said he will go for a scan to find out the extent of the knee injury.His loss will be felt,not in the EPL,but in the Champions League.I believe we have more than enough in the tank for the Prem.

As a matter of principle,women shouldn't tolerate infidelity.However,from a pragmatic perspective,its always very likely that the next male partner will be a cheat and the next after that,e.t.c.

That's not condoning cheating by any stretch of the imagination but simply acknowledging reality.

I always say the woman should leave her cheating partner not because it guarantees her the fidelity of a future partner-most likely,it won't-but as a matter of principle

Instinctively,when I read this kind of tale,my initial reaction is to say,"dump him".However,infidelity is epidemical amongst men,especially African men.

Probably every single one of the female respondents to this thread has a male partner who is either currently cheating,has cheated or will cheat on her.Short of becoming lesbians,most women will either have to cope with cheating male partners,stay asexual or join the "cheating game".

That is one of the biggest dilemmas in relationships. . . . . .how women can strike a balance between not tolerating infidelity and maintaining a long term relationship.

wirinet:
Before i start i will want to add more to your observations
We blacks have the least population among the races but the whites would have us feel we are overpopulated so we should reduce our population. But if you look at the statistics the number of blacks on the earth surface is less than 600 million, about half the population of india but the white man is not talking about reducing asian population. when small europe became overpopulated, the colonized other continents so today the whites occupy almost every continent in the world with their total population runining into at least 1.5billion. Why i added this observation to show that even from the position of population we are backward and if there is a war among the races today (hypothetical that is) the blacks stand no chance.Will continue later
The question of overpopulation is relative.Hong Kong might be said to be overpopulated with a population of 7m while Australia,with a population of 21m,doesn't suffer the same fate.

Africa is "overpopulated" relative to its resources,mainly economic.If you look at the staggering infant mortality stats,there is hardly a case to be made that we are underpopulated.
