Anyone under 60 and healthy?

Kid, never pick a fight with an old man, he will kill you. In my case, I would bring my cane up between your legs and kick your face in while you were on the floor groaning in pain. If I was really pissed off about it, I would gouge out your eyes so you could no longer be a threat but since I'm kind of lazy, I'd probably just put a few rounds in your head from my .380 pistol. ^_^

I watched a video made by a young Canadian woman about her family and her husband who is disabled due to injury. She said that in the Canadian health care system, her family is referred to as "Useless eaters." If Abomination Care is allowed to continue in The United States, the same sort of attitude will develop among the Affirmative Action morons who are being put in charge of the system. ^_^

How ridiculous. Let me know when you have a metric more solid than "probably" $500-700

Oh Killer Loon, you poor demented thing. You forgot that I've paid into the system longer than you've been alive. Are you Asian now? "We aready know you...." from your post is so funny. Anyway who is "We" and you've never defined this "TeaBillie on welfare" thing you call yourself. I'm sure everyone would like to know about your fabulous job that allows you to live in luxury. I barter for a lot of things, help people out and receive help in return which is something a putrid P.L.L.C.F. like you will never understand. I keep an eye on my roommates home, office, handle a lot of paperwork for him and keep the computers up and in good repair. I get to use the Internet service in return. I don't get paid but I share the bills. I'm no longer able to climb and crawl like I used to but I've a technical skill set which far exceeds any you may have that allows me to do things that don't require a lot of physical activity. I've been disable longer than you've been alive Killer Loon but I kept working and paying into the system until I no longer could. Killer Loon, you're young, in good health and believe you're invincible but you're not. I guessing you're in your early 20's and one day when you grow up, assuming the dope you smoke and the alcohol you drink doesn't kill you, your attitude and political beliefs will change if you're a normal human being. I really wonder if you'll last another 4 or

5 decades. I know it's hard for a human/livestock hybrid such as yourself to grok many concepts but keep trying and you may one day get something better than the minimum wage food service job you now have. ^_^

I bought an inexpensive Hi-Point CF-380 HC which is a lot of gun for the money. It came with an 8 round magazine but I'll have to get the 10 round magazine so it will fit my hand better. The last pistol I owned was a Belgian made NATO issue 9mm Browning Hi-Power. There are a lot of pro/con videos on YouTube about Hi-Point but it's a basic simple firearm with a lifetime warranty. The CF-380 is kind of heavy for its caliber so when you run out of ammo, you can bash in a dobad's head with it. ^_^

That's a good policy Adam but a crowbar or tire tool is sometimes called for when an attitude adjustment is necessary. ^_^

I kind of doubt it but I don't care. Malcom, Mitt Romney is a much better human being than you'll ever be but I'd like you to get up real close to the screen, move your lips if you must while reading what I've written and perhaps you can comprehend it. I'm not a Republican, Republicans disgust me but Democrats are special, they horrify me. I'll support members of either party when they're right but will excoriate them when they're wrong. Malcom, I realize that it's something you fail to grok but It's a characteristic of those of your ilk and perhaps one day, you'll grow out of it. ^_^

Joevan, that's fantastic but I can't do that stuff anymore and it's very frustrating because there was time when I could pick up a car engine. I'm actually going to get a cane and take Sandy, my trained attack Rotthuahua, for walks around our big back yard. ^_^

The guns aren't pretty but they're manufactured in The U.S. and Hi-Point gives all owners of their firearms a lifetime warranty. If it breaks, send it to them and they'll repair it free of charge. I can't afford a $500 pistol but the Hi-Point is so ugly, you don't have to shoot anyone most of the time, just brandish the big ugly gun and the critters will run. Hey, I made it rhyme! ^_^

It's a gun, it's not nice - certainly not nice looking

Take a look at the SCCY (pronounced Sky) compact 9mm. I bought one simply because of the "feel" of it in my grip. I didn't need another pistol or revolver but this one is...

US made in Daytona Beach, lifetime warranty, DAO, 10+1 and comes in under 22oz fully loaded. Great CCW gun or travel gun (I won't be happy but I won't flip out if some baggage handler rips me off. Just let the airline buy me a replacement for ~ $250)

It depends who is defining "healthy". Your definition and the insurance company's definition might vary. And, is someone who is "disabled" or even "crippled" necessarily unhealthy?

Speaking as a MD, I believe that if someone is taking prescription medication for a chronic condition, and that condition is being well controlled (no medication side effects and no detectable damage to any organ system from the chronic condition), that person should be considered healthy. (Examples might include well controlled high blood pressure and well controlled high blood cholesterol if they were diagnosed and managed soon after onset - among some other chronic conditions.) I regard those situations as no different than a person who requires prescription corrective lenses to see clearly with no evidence of other ocular abnormality.

And, on the other hand, someone may be taking no prescription medications because they have a serious medical problem that just has not become clinically evident (such as early adult onset diabetes or early stage hepatitis C). Also, some people with chronic mental illness either may be undiagnosed (and therefore untreated), or may refuse to take their medications. Those individuals are most certainly not healthy.

Well, speaking as a layman, I don't think I've ever seen a person taking prescription medication for a chronic condition in which the initial prescribed medication did not have deleterious side effects that required additional meds for those side effects. For example: take this for your blood pressure and if it keeps you from sleeping, then that this, and take that to help you wake up in the morning. Of course I'm not in a position to prove this, but would ask those reading this to draw on their own personal experiences.

Frankly, I consider most G.P. MDs pill-pushing quacks; although I don't blame them. I blame the "system" that has most of their later years (>10 yrs in practice) education being provided "free" by the pharmaceutical companies.

Unfortunate that everyone you know on chronic meds uses incompetent quack physicians.

Speaking as both an individual who takes prescription medication chronically, and someone who has treated many patients who do the same, I can say that my population sample size is likely to be considerably larger than yours and my experience contradicts your observation. With close observation and careful control of dosage, the overwhelming majority of patients who require chronic medication do not sustain complications that require additional meds to treat the complications. That being said, it is a consistent, widely reported observation that the more medications a patient takes, the great the likelihood of undesirable drug-drug interactions.

Your generalization about abuse of pharmaceutical company "education" as the prime source of continuing medical education is off the mark. Most states require a certain number of hours/year of continuing medical education for physicians to retain their license. Most states require that the majority of those hours be from AMA PRA category I sources. Pharmaceutical company sponsored activities rarely if ever meet that criterion. Also, in reality, G.P.s are not common any more. Most M.D.s today who treat all or most members of a family for all or most of their medical needs are board certified in family practice or internal medicine.
