Revolver has the sort of appeal I think as well.
Ease of cleaning, careful reload, etc.
Webley~ Surely the most fitting weapon for a British man.
Yeah but a wonder 9 is more practical
guns bad
@Wayward Lone he looked like he enjoyed that

NICU btw is Neonatal intensive care unit
This was the bill for a 4 week stay for a baby that needed ICU support
this is america
WHy does an infant need speech pathology services and who charges 140k for 4 weeks of nursery service? That's 35k a week.
I know
And if you click on that and go through the replies its not a one off case dude
Theres loads of peeps talking about how much it costs and what they got billed for
My point is they are clearly overbilling. It happens a lot because they know the customer is only going to see the deductible.
at least they have the option of paying that money for life saveing services that didn't exist in the past.
also yes there is overbilling but that is caused by government and insurance programs.
you think the hospitals just eat the loss when the government says "we are gonna only pay you a quarter of what we owe you"?
by law meany hospitals must serve people reguardless of weather or not they can pay, so you end up with alot of people who don't pay their bill and the government won't pay that bill either so the hospital has to make it up somewhere else.
This sort of thing is paid for by the governmeant, also I don't know if this particular bill is real
But yes, if your kid suffers from saw sort of rare disorder it might be expensive if they end up in the ICU
All emergency care is essentially paid for
EMTALA only applies when someone goes to emergency care... not sure if that'd apply to a scheduled appt
The intensive care unit is emergency care, but other things are also paid for
Roughly half of all healthcare is paid for by the governmeant in the U.S.
And if you are below the poverty line, you automatically qualify for medicare and medicade, which acts as your health insurance
So, if you don't have a job you still get medicare or medicade
insurace reform and medicine reform are needed
^
if you serve the military for a couple years you get free healthcare
Healthcare isn't free, it's paid for in some capacity
within context
But, health insurance is paid for by your employer
Most people get health insurance through their job, which is mandated by law as long as the business is large enough, which is most people
This is roughly half of all healthcare spending, and the other half is from the governmeant
If it was 100% paid for by the governmeant ironially this would shift the burden off of businesses and on to regular taxpayers, which would be a bad thing
Hence 100% governmeant paid for healthcare is problably a bad idea
It sounds great on paper, but in practice is not a good idea
