Excuse me, but that' not what I asked. I asked what
****tion of *your* paycheck is eaten away by health
insurance premiums.
Clovece uz zase?? Me je u rekta co a kolik ty platis. Cisla mluvi samy za
sebe.
Kvalita vasi medical je znama celymu svetu. Precti si above.Kolik platite
a
za co.
A ze nemate fronty v ordinacich bez se podivat do LA tam uz zavreli i
hospitals pro
pathetick sluzbu, kde pacienti vyzadujici prvni pomoc zemreli na lavickach
v
cekarne.
A kdyz by jste nekdy poskytly narodu to jedno ze zakladnich lidskych
prav,
povinost statu
poskytnou "bezplatnou" lekarskou sluzbu i tem 47milionum nepojistenych tak
se ukaze
kde ma koza med. A moje zkusenost s US medical je abhorent. Ale to je jina
vec.
Tohle by melo stacit i takovymu hnupovi, jako je Feeeb.
