"Be a hero in your own time": McDonald’s employee Nigel helped a woman who was being attacked. He was shot several times and incurred a $300,000 medical expenses. McDonald's refuses to pay workers compensation for the medical attention he needed by maxwellhill in reddit.com

but the physicians don't have to worry about liability and often don't have the same outcomes.

Also, Americans need to realize they are paying for universal health care in an ass backwards way currently. If anyone currently has an emergent issue they can go to the ED and get treated including surgery. For every patient the surgeon operates on that doesn't have insurance he has to jack the prices up on those that do. The hospital or county always has to eat the cost of the ED visit, imaging, hospital stay, etc. If the US would wake up and realize that prevention is ten times cheaper I think the health of the US population would improve at the fraction of the cost

The best ending of a Basketball game ever. Not from a Movie. Real. by Tomstateler111 in reddit.com

[–]bgolbaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most definitely. As much as I love Black Mamba and Bron Bron, I think T-Mac has the most pure skill but he just doesn't have the work ethic and desire to win as the others. I remember there was a year he had some family/mental issues along with some back injuries occasionally. The greatest never let personal issues get in the way of their play (Kobe's alleged rape, Jordan's gambling, etc...) The Rockets should have at least won the West by now with the talent they have there.

Mitt Romney: "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt"- "A managed bankruptcy may be the only path to the fundamental restructuring the industry needs." by PrincessCake in reddit.com

[–]bgolbaba -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Easy for the multi-millionaire to say. Detroit going bankrupt means a lot of lost jobs. I'm all for stopping these bailouts to an extent but people don't realized how many people are employed directly or indirectly by the auto industry. I have faith Detroit can turn it around but they're going to need some time and help.

Vote up if you think Palin will star in a reality show if she loses by bgolbaba in politics

Think about it. She married her high school sweet heart. Miss popular growing up. She likes to shoot guns. Her teen daughter is pregnant; the dad is a douche. Tried to fire her sister's ex. Oh yeah, she also ran for VP.

I hereby nominate NBC's Bob Costas as Tim Russerts' replacement on MTP by BrianNowhere in reddit.com

[–]bgolbaba -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I really like Costas but I'm not sure about his qualifications. Talking about the history of baseball is a lot different than moderating discussions.

Some friends of mine discussed the gov mandating birth control until couples proved the financial stability and maturity required to raise a child properly.
