@tayo
u say if i dont like my healthcare service i can change to another provider in a private market. u know why i dont blame u? u make the common mistake of people who are not in the health care field. to think that healthcare is another usual good/service that is operated by demand and supply. no it is not.

what do you understand by--if i dont like my healthcare-- how will someone know his healthcare coverage is bad? price?no. it's when u really need their service that u know if they are bad, i.e when u are really sick. then u realise they are not what u thought they are. . . .and then in that sick condition u want to change healthcare? and the other guy will take u in and provide healthcare coverage? these people dont like to cover sick people. they wont take people with pre-medical conditions. when they pay someone's healthcare they call it ''medical losses'' losses? doing what u were paid do to.

tayo, i'm really in deep pains. i will be in the US after my studies in the UK and i know i'm covered in the UK, i'm deeply worried. universal healthcare is not free. it is paid for. if u dont like it u have options but it covers everybody.

i am really sad. i wont be affected. make no mistake. i've been in the UK for 5yrs approximately, i've never had to see a doctor or nurse. and by God's grace i wont be ill soon. and i'll be very rich by the time i reach 40yrs. God willing i'm divinely covered but i'm still worried b/c i'm in the health profession and i know what i saw in nigeria when poor people cant pay for health care. . . it was one of the reasons i decide to do public health in europe--- to find ways of disease prevention.

sighs . . God bless America

ahaa, at last babe agbaala, very soon umunna ga agbafuta from nowhere

@ibime
i'm tired of debating this health thing. my greatest discouragement is the fact that the people who the govt is trying to help are not being forceful like the paid mobs from the right. if i'm poor and ill, i'll rather have the US govt handle my health care than the CEOs of Health Organisations who are only interested in their pockets.

i'm just tired of the argument. i tire to be honest. but if the democrats can get this right, with over 60 votes in the senate and clear majority in the house, then they should forget it for the next 8-I6yrs . . . . .

look, there is nothing like free health care. it does not exist. nothing is free. but it is free-at-the-point-of-use.

this means that payment is not reguired when it is needed but payment is made some other day somehow

i am not dehumanising u. u are doing a good job of that, u dont need my help.
no system is perfect but surely it would be wise to give everybody a chance . . . everybody. and unlike u, i believe health care is a right and i can tell u, life is nothing without good health and if life is a right, health care is attached to life and every human being on this planet should have access to good health care, food, water, housing. i'm not saying that govt should provide all these for americans, but health care should cover everybody and reduce the power of the capitalists HMOs

disagree. fine, but this is what i believe.

unfortunately, the democrats lack spine

i dont know how people use God to justify everything. this guy is recieving beatings in his own home and u want to blame him for it. haba.

guy, i'm sure God does not like divorce, i'm also sure God does not like domestic violence. if someone beats my sister, i'll ask her to leave him. if my wife beats me, or cheats on me, even when we have no child yet, i'll leave her.

but calm down, this is a serious decision, even more serious than the decision to marry her. can u tolerate her beatings? can u bear it? do u know the consequences of tolerating those beatings? what happens when she has children?

but pray though. i believe in prayers, but i'm practical too. take ur time, dont rush. endure for a little longer. if she is pregnant it may be due to pregnancy associated psychosis or depression etc. give her emotional support. go to a councellor, get professional advice, but the final decision will be urs

@thief of hearts

this was a post by pres-elect in post #28 check it out, i had already said it that God hates divorce. i dont change positions just b/c of gender/tribe/religion/sexual orieatation/body weight/ or any other vulnerable demographic

i am very objective. but i'm sure if it was ur brother, you would not only recommend divorce, you will attack the witch

this is sad. of course it is sad and unlike u, i wont deny that it is sad just b/c it came from tayo. it is sad.

but note that if it were in the US that man would not even live to see the child enter primary school at all as he will have no drug at all with no coverage. but the nhs has helped a lot of people who otherwise would never have been able to afford it . . . .and . . . wait for it. . . . even in the UK people who dont like the NHS can still have health insurance from private organisations.

yes, you heard me, even in the UK, those who dont like NHS can still have private coverage. that is what we are saying. i'm not saying private coverage should be wiped out. no. but with govt options, they will be forced to lower their costs and cover more people as a result.

all human beings should be able to get coverage in healthcare. all human beings. this should not be politicised and should not be a democrats/republicans issue.

if the democrats cant pass this bill(real health reform bill with public option), then their majority in congress is useless and should be taken away from them and given back to the republicans . . . . we can then have all the tax cuts and wars they may want.

Hairat007:
I think u need serious prayers, run 2 ur pastor ASAP u guys need counselling.

u cld live wit some1 for 30 years without knowing who he or she really is tank God

u found out timely. This trauma called MARRIAGE may God deliver us besides

wat is in the heart of a sober man, is on the tongue of a drunkard. Good luck

lol.

the way people run to pastor in nigeria na wa o. what if the pastor and his wife are fighting . . .

shesi:
what are some ppl talking about courtship courtship

dont u know women? women have faking down to a science. they fake everything from humility to orgasms during courtship.
it is after you get married that she will start handing you magazines with stuff like 'how to improve ur performance' in it *hint hint*
notice none of the women have said anything about courtship yet? cus they know themselves.

@OP, divorce her. for what better or for worse. abeg. the bible is not meant to be taken literally. so if you wife is a serial killer, you continue being married because the bible doesn't mention that as a ground for divorce? puleese

lol

i'm not sure they were forced to live under the bridges, i guess they were denied homes anywhere near children. if they were able to, they would have built homes in isolated places without children, but they cant, so they can only manage under the bridge where there are no children(hope so)

so poverty had a little role to play there too.

@tayo

ur problem is that u hate obama soo much that u will oppose anything that comes from him. this is not about obama. this is healthcare. if the US can afford it, why cant everybody be insured? this is a country that spends billions of dollars every day in a useless war, why cant money be invested in its own people. 46(?) million people without health coverage is sad.

for all u say about canada and britain, these 2 countries have better health care than the US. ask WHO. US ranks way down compared to other rich countries. but b/c U hate Obama(now u call him pharoah ) and probably u hate me now(no wahala) b/c i express my opinion which is different from urs, u let this hatred completely overwhelm ur rationality. na wa for u

anyway, like i told david, i'm tired of a debate in which the people who need help most just relax while hoodlums reign supreme at town halls.

kaput

so when republicans mess things up, they claim govt can run things

but govt runs the military. perhaps that too should be privatised. anyway they have started that already and that is why there will always be war. the lobbyists must chop.

that happened under bush. if u didnt know, obama came in, changed e few things, improved funding for dept of veteran affairs, improved allowances for the vetreans, made another[b] ''GI bill'' [/b] which was signed into law recently. stopped wasteful spending like the f-22 jet bullsh-t. diverted the money into more sensible projects.

and talking about govt run issues. it depends on who is running the govt. bush or obama (or clinton)

Bushmessed up the veterans.

can u believe that even some prisons in the us have become privatised? there are correctional establishments in the NYSE. then they'll lobby congress for harsher laws--->more imprisonments--->more business for them.

lol

dont blow him up o. he is not a jew.

keep ur violence for paul wolfowitz. i loath that man

how about the veterans, many of them are white. they are not treated well when they return. i once went to a vetran affairs hospital in ohio last 2yrs. i wanted to cry. my relative was working there and i saw how soldiers were treated. even the way they talk to them. and i'm not talking about the deception in thier documents they signed b4 joining military with regards to benefits they thought they will recieve when they come home. they are whites too. and yet they usually vote republicans

well part of the reason is thata it is a short form of a longer name.

the name is actually a paragraph but the last sentence of the paragraph goes like this: inachoikukamgborozhizhimmuokaishiokwute . . . . i cant even write the full name which will take three lines. but my great grand father used to call me the full name b4 he died. i'll just wait for him to stop talking, then i'll know he has finished calling me.

now u know why i dont know the meaning?

nigeria's poverty cant be compared to america's poverty. but it is not only sex offenders who sleep under the bridge in the US

exactly.

davidylan:
The very first response to your like Pres, was so funny had to paste it here . . .

Solution.Any Senior who disrupts the meetings with their ill informed stupid screeching and screaming,should be sent a letter the next day that says.

Dear Sir/Madame:
The Government of the USA,has removed you from the medicare and medicaid socialized health care system and subsidized prescriptions lists,effective immediately,at your request.Your entitlements have been transferred to one of the 50 million uninsured, immediatel y.You are now free to subscribe to any high premium health insurance company of your choice.Rest in Peace and we hope you have no existing preconditions. You can also contact Rush Limbaugh or one of your republican or blue dogs democrat lawmakers to assist you in attaining insurance from one of the highly competive group of insurance companies/ cartel. Hap py Health and have a wonderful retirement!

lol.

davidylan:
i already know it wont pass but at least government will say they tried but ideologues chose to kill it. Its sad to see a country i once thought was a nation of brilliant intellectuals reduced to a nation of fear-mongers, liars and uneducated hypocrites. They claim the govt cant run anything but they spend millions of dollars running for posts in that same govt?

exposure to reality huh. i was so ashamed when i went to america and people ask me where i came from and i say united kingdom, then they'll ask . . .where is that? i thot i was used to the thinking africa is a country but i wasnt prepared to see that americans dont know where UK is. (they know england/britain but not UK) . lol . . .

anyway, their ignorance is too bad

i wonder why these people cant see that republicans are terrible people. can u believe the 2 journalists released from north korea, everyone seems to say it was a good thing except fox news. their own concern is that the north koreans had a chance to sit with an ex-US president. that has been a foreign policy disaster. terrible thing and a failure of obama admiknistration. b/c it is not their relatives. aint it?

yet people follow them

sorry dave, that would not happen. have u heard of the blue dog democrats. 52 of them in the house of reps. they threatened to vote against a reform with a public option. if 52 democrats and all republicans in the house vote against the bill, it wont pass the house.

of course there are enough senators to kill it off. including democrat senators.

it's so pathetic, what reform will it be if no public option is there. this is a moral issue. i thought they said the govt cant run anything and yet they are afraid of competition from govt healthcare option

if u guys thought poverty was in africa alone, think again

i have decided to talk . . .

everybody talks of peace but no one talks of justice (forgot the source of statement)
there is no peace without justice
peace is not just the absence of war but the presence of justice(MLK)
Palestinians were also created in the image and likeness of God
God loves the palestinians too.

this is not right

i no talk

lol

well david, 

tayo and co believe germany and spain are socialist countries and america will not subscribe to such evil ideaologies from godless europe

i have lost interest in this healthcare debate. why? the people who really support this thing just sit at home and let the hooligans run around town halls dominating the debate. full of ignorance. someone even shouted to a govt official, ''keep ur govt hands off my medicare'' . . . pls, can u laugh with me http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/get-your-goddamn-governme_b_252326.html

if i were the democrats, i'll end this reform and let things be as it is. if the people they are trying to help just sit at home and allow hooligans to dominate the debate, let it be, afterall the democrats in congress all have good coverage

Roughlen:
Pray and fast hard for her to change back to who she use to be. Also, talk to her and try to get to the root of her attitudinal change.

and who can tell ''who she used to be'' , who said she changed? perhaps she is only just bringing out her real self.

they say love is blind, but marriage is an eye opener

infidelity
insecurity . . . acceptable causes of divorce.

if u really love her, from the bottom of ur heart, u sure wont mind the beatings . . _{did i say that? anyway} , however, if a man/woman is under domestic violence. the person should remember that there are people who love him/her even b4 he/she met his/her partner. for the sake of ur family/loved ones, come out of that marriage asap.

as they say, once he beats her, he will beat her again . . . and again . . .and again. (and vice versa)

i'll add, once he/she cheats . . . he/she will cheat again . . and again . . .and again . . .

do not trade ur happiness for some silly excuses as what will people say, etc run for ur life, one day she will use a weapon and end ur life
