3/01 This is a serious question, please don't erase it. My mother is about
55, and I would like to get her health insurance and such. I personally
have Aetna Medium PPO, which my company pays at 100%. However, since
my company doesn't pay for my mother (yes, no company would) I would
have to pay out of my personal expense. What is a good health plan for
my mother that is affordable? THANKS!!!
\_ Send the bitch to work.
\_ FHP, BlueShield, Kaiser all have pretty affordable plans. but
at least $300+/month.
\_ funny, I thought the "individual plan" for kaiser topped
out at around $200/month. But you have to be initially
\- getting health insurance for one is going to be pretty expensive
due to adverse selection due to information asymmetry. --psb
\_ This makes absolutely no sense.
\"this doesnt make sense" != "i dont understand you"
\_ That is correct. What PSB said makes perfect
sense and is correct. (However, it is unlikely
to communicate any valuable info to anyone since
the vast majority of people who would/will
understand it already do.)
-PSB fan #1026 (aka crebbs)
\_ Are you saying that insurance for one person is more than if
you have two combined? No shit. You don't have to word it
like a fuckin' lawyer. FUCK YOU PSB. YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK.
\_ Wow. Can Dave suck your dick too?
\_ was not worded like a lawyer....rather an economist
\_'Yer mother' barbs now center around information theory.
Is this bad or good?
physically okay to get in.
\_There are plenty of Asian companies that do in fact treat
parents as dependents in this respect. It's just our morally
bankrupt society that assumes its younger workers will neglect
their aging parents -TEC
\_ There are plenty of Asian companies that do in fact treat female
employees like garbage in all respects. It's just their morally
bankrupt society that assumes its female workers will accept
this form of abuse forever. -anti-TEC
[anti-Asian trash nuked]
\_ There are plenty of Asian companies that do in fact treat
females as total garbage in all respects. It's just their
morally bankrupt society that assumes its females are
worthless subhumans deserving no better treatment.
[go ahead, keep deleting this you hypocrite. I have it on
file and will keep restoring it as long as your pro-asian
bullshit myths are there. If I lie, refute me. Don't be
a pansy coward and just delete it. Find some third world
oppressor state if you want hardcore censorship instead of
debate.]
\_ Watch who you are calling a hypocrite, woman. I am
not the person who was deleting your response. -TEC
Note: although i have never engaged in it, deleting
the MOTD.pub hardly qualifies as *hardcore* censorship
\_ The entire motd was not deleted. Just my comments.
Wiping the whole motd every few days is an act of
kindness to us all. Selectively deleting comments
one disagrees with, whether they are true or not, is
censorship. Hardcore is a subjective term. Although
the scale is small, the repeated selective deletion
is extreme. If this were a newspaper instead of the
motd, most would consider that sort of thought purge
and squelching of public debate to be hardcore. Also,
and squelching of public debate to be hardcore.
\_ And if this were a public monument, instead of the
motd, and your worthy words were carved in granite,
and I removed them by means of powerful acid and
shaped explosive charges, most people would gasp at
my sociopathic vandalism. I'm not disagreeing with
your original comments, I'm just saying that I find
it consistently amazing how people will foam at the
mouth and use strange overreaching analogies when
it comes to an essentially trivial thing like the
motd.
\_ The loss of free expression (especially something
innocuous such as the motd) is a loss to everyone.
Preventing the free flow of ideas through any
medium, no matter how minor, is a breach of all
our rights. Little things count. If you allow
the chipping away at basic freedoms in little
ways, what is to stop the loss at a greater level?
IE: I trust you don't want your newspapers to be
censored, but is it ok to censor a college rag or
\_ There are some people here who want to do that;
they don't think that the Daily Cal should be
entitled to be read unless it agrees with them.
HS newsletter? Where do you draw the line? I
don't feel it's ok to draw such a line and say
some forms of censorship are ok because the target
doesn't reach a great many people.
Also,
I was not assuming that you, TEC, did the deleting.
You should avoid assuming I'm a woman just because I
find the treatment of women in many countries to be
detestable.
\_ oh shut up and go away
\_ I'm stunned into silence by your sharp wit and
over abundant cleverness. You're a Cal student?
\_ oh shut up and go away
- another person
\_ what do you consider "affordable"?
\_ Since your mom is probabaly not a dependant, you should try to
inquire directly to an HMO about signing up. You should also try
to see if your mom belongs to any groups that might offer medical
insurance.
\_ Move to a country that has half a clue about what to charge
for health care. Sure, we have all the latest research and
what not here, but that means absolute shit when you consider
that bureaucracy and greed appears to drive the health care
"industry." |
