Pre Existing Conditions Speaks To All Americans

I'm just going to say this right now, and I'd love for a GOP response:

I pay money. I've paid a lot of money taxwise.

Why does the GOP try and actively **** over people?

Now I'm not supposed to be covered for several different things that I've had coverage for for the past decade? Unless I pony up some more cash...that's coming after the New Year, according to the correspondence.

Because Trump says he has a better plan. The same "better plan" that he and McConnell have had 4 ****ing years to implement. Yet they have nothing. Because they want nothing. He just keeps saying the same thing to placate the masses.

And @pgabriel and others think this is just A-OK?

 

I love this. So much.

 

are you saying it was voodoo medicine and not real?

Hippocrates introduced numerous medical terms universally used by physicians, including symptom,
diagnosis, therapy, trauma and sepsis.

In addition, he described a great number of diseases without superstition. Their names are still used in modern medicine, for instance diabetes, gastritis, enteritis, arthritis, cancer, eclampsia, coma, paralysis, mania, panic, hysteria, epilepsy and many others.

As for clinics, availability and costs to poor:

Every Greek city had not only one or more public medical men in the municipal service, whose duty it was to visit the sick in the city and suburbs, but there was also a large dispensary, iatrium, where the practitioner, aided by his pupils, held consultations, performed operations and distributed the needful medicines. Beds were reserved for patients who could not be removed, or for very serious cases. The rich being able to be cared for at home, those who needed the aid of the public dispensary were the poor. Yet in the state of society at that period, the isolated poor, those without patron and without brothers, as the phrase went, meaning those who were not members of a society having a mutual benefit fund, were not numerous. But what poor there were, we are assured by historians, were faithfully attended to in accordance with the precept of Hippocrates. Inscriptions show that it was an obligation that was gracefully and generously fulfilled.

You should watch your language. It is not a good look for you.

 

So basically you don't want to actually converse with anyone, you just want to be a belligerent ******* with an axe to grind.

It's cool, I've been that guy before, we all have, but you should maybe chill and step back and stop it for a while.

Mellow out a bit.

 

so, you read that carefully, right? Would you call that Fake Medicine, like you did to @malakas?

They even had diagnosis and treatment for your Diabetes.

 

Last post from me because apparently if people continue to argue with you they are dubbed dick riders....

As I said all services including security and government itself cannot exist without people willing to do the job. Same as healthcare. If you say there is no healthcare to provide without doctors I could say there is no government to provide security without government employees.

 

med schools today have the best hosptals and clinics????

Here's a description of doctors making a living in their own practice ... a Greek Talent is significant cash

(According to wage rates from 377 BC, a talent was the value of nine man-years of skilled work.)​

The typical physician in the classical period was like an itinerant craftsman (Edelstein (1987) [1967], pp. 87ff). He travelled from city-state to city-state and offered his services (just like the sophists, who appear in the fifth century as itinerant men of higher education and taught various subjects, most famously perhaps methods of persuasion). The physician received his training through apprenticeship, which he may have had to pay for. A few became personal physicians of powerful men. Finally, some cities paid a physician to be their “public physician”.

Particularly famous is the career of the sixth century physician Demokedes: troubled with a harsh-tempered father at Croton, with whom he was unable to live, he left and went to Aegina. Settled there he excelled over all the other physicians. In his second year, the Aigenetans paid him a talent to be their public physician; in the next the Athenians hired him for a hundred minae; and Polycrates (tyrant in Samos) in the next again for two talents. While serving under Polykrates, he was captured and enslaved by the Persians, and later came to be used by the Emperor Dareios as his body physician. He managed to escape from the Persians and returned to Croton, but had to leave again towards the end of his life because of political difficulties (Herodotos III: 125-131). In other words, Demokedes experienced all three ways of earning a living mentioned above, as well as being enslaved.

Demokedes was of course exceptional. Some additional wealthy physicians are known (CohnHaft, 1956, p. 20 with n. 58) but we have very little information about what the income of an average physician would have been.​

About 35 years. Unfortunately most died due to pre existing conditions not being covered by Athens Blue Cross Blue Shield

 

what that has to do with free healthcare?
There was FREE healthcare for everyone even slaves back then.

And yet you dont think you deserve it.

Now that I read up more information on the subject I couldn't help my LMAO with this detail
They VOTED for their doctors in elections.
