    I am off home, to listen to the SCOTUS audio. See you all later!

    Actually, I'm worried enough that I'm not sure I can bring myself to do it.

    The Utøya camp is tomorrow.

    Couple of people are talking to each other on facebook status update comments.

    More than a little heartbreaking to read about how they're struggling with moving on.

    But they're going back, atleast.

    If there is one thing the West Wing plays to often it is when POTUS calls and an oblivious secretary goes "It's for you, someone named POTUS?".

    Oh, I haven't been keeping up with comics lately but I was wondering what was going on with the Marvel character Amadeus Cho. He's an Asian-American superhero whose super power is being really good at math. Ethnic cliche lolz but the last I heard of him, he teamed up with Hercules to beat up some gods.

    @Mazzyx My personal experience was with Ireland, where they also have a dual model of public providers and private hospitals. The public ones were basically a terrible ghetto option for the poors, and the good care needed to be purchased. Everyone who could afford it carried private health insurance out of their own pocket in addition to the universal public care, because they felt they needed it to actually get healthcare.

    Ireland has overhauled their system recently as well. Part of becoming the Irish tiger. I am not describing a socialized hospital system, which exist in the US anyways, but a nationalized health insurance program. I am taking insurance out of the private sector where it has profit motive to limit and reject care to the public sector where its priority is the health of the patient.

    The Swiss system is interesting because it doesn't remove private insurance but makes it have minimum requirements and to be sold not for profit.

    I was there from '01 - '05, the height of the Celtic Tiger. It was shit healthcare. Doesn't' the system in the Netherlands also have the same private insurance system with minimum care and low-cost plan requirements?

    As someone who lives here now, it's pretty still pretty awful.

    @spool32

    Nice breakdown of some of the insurance systems from News Hour. Including the Netherlands. Netherlands current program sounds very similar to ACA. There is a mandate. But it is hard to keep prices down and not have one due to how insurance pools work. I think that is the biggest part, either everyone pays into one pool(national insurance) or are required to buy insurance thus the healthy subsidize the sick and when they are sick their care is subsidized by those who are now healthy. I think this is an important aspect we forget.

    I sneaked up on a deer once. In clogs. It noticed me when I was standing a foot behind it, just turned its head around and froze.

    And I was like "u lucky I nice guy and not hunter" and then it bolted away.

    Well if it is part of your taxes he is right. He is forgetting that when he needs help the person who needed the hip replacement is paying for his medical care. Because that is how insurance works. You pay in to subsidize those using it when you are sick, and they do the same for you.

    Hell that is what they do in the states, there just is a 30% cut off the top and a lot less access.
