lol what a mupit

, how can you claim that preventative care would cost more mony? i mean what the fuck research is that bassed on.

im fairly confident that if u prevented cancer detected it early in just 10% more than what u get now from that alone you would reecoperate all costs.
although having sead that i guess now people just have it and die as they cannot afford insurance or basic helth care in usa.

Yes, the poster person for the GOP, is also Liar of the Year. What does that say of the Republican party these days? While it often joked (or even cynical behavior) that all politicans lie, this person took it to a whole new level. She didn't lie, because the issue was important, but just for cheap political points (and to help sell her book, 'Going Rogue').

Yeap, why do we STILL allow Republicans in the US goverment? Can't we draft a law, to draft all of them and send them to the front lines in Afghanistan? After all, they are the biggest whiners of the US pulling out of Afghanistan. Why not have them fight it? Oh yeah, cus they can't put their money where their mouth is.

Yeah Sarah, you finally won a real achievement!

The reason why preventative care for cancer can cost more is exactly because it prevents people from dying young. This is why smokers on average cost our system less than non-smokers. Many of them develop lung cancer before they're retired, and die of it quickly. They pay into the system while they're young and healthy, and skip over the last few decades of life when they would need the most care.

Of course, I'm not using any of that as an argument against preventative cancer screenings or anti-smoking campaigns. We just have to remember that the point of health-care is to improve and save our lives, saving money is secondary.

i would have thought that evan though those people die young a good prapotoin would have to go back to hospital have repeated chemo , see varouse speclists. but fair enoughf maby for cancer due to numbers it dosent balence out. but there are manny manny things that if detected early would be easy and far cheeper to cure.

engin how much usa would save if they had proper sex educatoin.

The problem here is the way the segment is presented.

Anyone not paying close attention just watched a 'lying' segment where Obama featured twice and Palin featured once, conclusion democrats lie twice as often as republicans.

If a report was supposed to show the truth, they should have tallied up all the recorded lies, and used that ratio, so if they had 10 republican lies for every 1 democratic, show that.
