    I will be honest part of the reason I get hyper-smug is because I get pretty defensive about the health-care system

    It's why I am alive. If I was an American in an identical social/financial class and upbringing to the one I grew up in and every other aspect of my life was identical except I lived in the US instead of Canada

    I would not be alive. That is the truth.

    So I get smug/defensive about it because I will brook no argument and no implication that there is anything better about the US' health-care system for someone like me.

    the odd part is that there was no one attacking you??

    yes this is the downside of being sensitive and defensive about things

    stop it

    seriously though re: coffee, there was that TED talk with Malcolm Gladwell where he talked about how most people actually do prefer their coffee kind of weaker, cooler and sweeter but claim they don't because there is societal pressure to be a bad-ass who drinks black coffee.

    I totally believe this is true

    for the record I am not a coffee snob at all, I actually take full on cream and sugar in my coffee, even nice coffee that's made with a good press

    i really haven't acquired the taste for coffee itself, completely, though the coffee i make certainly doesn't need much sugar or milk at all even for me

    i also think middle-shelf bourbon is better than top-shelf scotch probably for similar reasons of palate

    I find that the setting affects things immensely. Piping hot black coffee is fantastic when Ive been sleeping on frozen ground or are really just outdoors in general. You've got gunk in your mouth, you're cold, and the heat and bitterness kind of kickstart your system. Whereas when I'm at home and have had a leisurely twenty-minute shower and brushed my teeth and have changed into some warm cotton undies, I'd prefer something a little more mellow.

    I am going back to black coffee, because I looked at how much sugar I was consuming in a day.

    Six packets of sugar per day is ridiculous.

    Like for instance right now I take seven pills a day to stay stable (three wellbutrin, two seroquel small dose, a loxapine, a large dose of seroquel)

    Without these pills the chances of my killing myself spike dramatically

    WITH my mother's insurance it is hundreds of dollars a month for all of these pills

    RoI, really, really can't be considered representative.

    And at the end of the day, a universal health care system doesn't exclude a private one as well, which sort of removes any real issue.

    I guess you could argue that public health care is overpriced compared to a theoretical private system, but evidence wouldn't back you up on that.

    i was gonna treat myself to dinner out for having taken my exam. but i'm so riddled with nerves and queasy from the test that i don't even think i could eat. it's kind of goofy. i really do have some fucked up class issues. being back on the path to getting a degree makes me so indescribably excited/expectant/afraid/anxious. i feel like patrick bateman. i want. to fit in. i want my degree. part of it's a vanity exercise but i'm too fucked up wrt class envy to even care at this point.

    i am real fucked up about money and social status i think. i hope getting a good job doesn't turn me into a terrible cunt.

    why would you drink sugary coffee immediately after brushing your teeth

  • PonyPony Registered User regular
    my meds, if I had to pay for them, would cost me north of $400 a month

    instead the pharmacy charges me a $2 "dispensation fee" per bottle, which at 2 bottles per month is a pretty extensive cost reduction from four hundred dollars.

    I'd like to note that one of the areas that Canadian health care does have a shortcoming is that drugs are still a matter of private insurance unless you are either on welfare or some other kind of social assistance (I'm on provincial disability support)

    ideally medication should just be comped for everybody just like all other healthcare but eh

    better than nothing

    My experience with the Canadian Health Care system is similar to Pony's: The few times I've needed it, it was there. Not only that, but it didn't fuck about. Between my heart issues and kidney stones, the ERs that I have been to and the doctors and nurses that were there were on the ball, efficient and made sure that I was taken care of.

    My GP, though, he can eat a dick. Good guy, I think, but terrible bedside manner. Or, at least, he didn't think my problems were worth his time.

  • KalkinoKalkino Buttons Londres Registered User regular
    RoI sounds a little like NZ - a socialised/universal coverage system, with a private insurance system running parallel, often with the same specialists doing both, so one can jump the queue as it were for not urgent treatments.

    I think my favourite part of the NZ system is Pharmac, which is the state drug buying company. It is pretty well run and does pretty well cocking a snook at Big Pharma

    Sugar and milk or cream in the coffee change the taste of the actual coffee. That being said, I do enjoy sugar with my coffee, but in the form of food on the side instead of in my coffee.

    Incorrect sir! I did move to Ireland in September of 2001 for work, while the tech disintegration was happening here. Left the country on 9/4/01. I'm an American citizen born in Maine, and haven't lived outside the country other than that time. While I was there, I traveled for work to Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Greece, NI, and the UK, at least twice each.

    GPs are a big problem in this country.

    We have a serious brain drain because we don't pay our doctors competitively with what they can make working in the US, so a gigantic chunk of our medical graduates here leave for the US and the dollah-dollah billz.

    As a result, we are constantly starved for doctors, GPs especially, with way way too many Canadians not having a family doctor.

    I just got a family doctor a few months ago after not having one for four years. Some people have gone way longer than that and still don't have one.

    The government has been trying to make it easier to verify credentials of foreign doctors who immigrate here, buuuuuuut that has it's own associated problems

    It's a crappy situation that can't easily be solved without raising tax rates and paying doctors more money, which are things the Conservative government does NOT want to do

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    For me if I want sugar or cream or black or whatever when it comes to my coffee depends on the particular beverage in question. Drip coffee or french press I like black. Cuban coffee? That stuff needs some sugar. Stuff like a cortadito can be fantastic as a side during a meal. Iced coffee I like black, but, I also like iced lattes on cold days, etc.

    The true joy of coffee is all the different ways you can prepare and enjoy it.
