One of the biggest issues for the 2008 presidential election. What kind
of healthcare system do you think should be implemented in America? Here are the options: Universal-Everybody is covered, at the cost of increased taxes Mixed-Government intervention where necessary. helps the poor, but can cause an overall rop in the quality of healthcare Dual-all the benefits and problems of universal except some of the burden is taken off of the system by allowing people to have a higher standard of care by paying extra Privatized-The free market solution, allow the market to determine costs. may leave poor without care, but decreases tax burden Personally I lean well towards universal or dual, because the evidence I have seen suggests those to be better than the other options, that and under the current system my pre-existing condition (the aspergers) causes my family to have to pay more for coverage, which is extrememly annoying. Also when my father had to get his gallbladder removed it cost $10,000 before insurance if I recall correctly. |

Hello

Well, better let it all out and hope for the best. I'm 19 and looking
for a long term relationship, with the possibility of marriage (marriage is not really a requirement). I also am very odd, shall we say. What I mean by that is I have a mental "illness" called asperger('s) syndrome (why different sources spell it differently I'll never know). With me th effects have been far different from what those at The Autism Society of America and Cure Autism now would have you believe: I've had a booster to the IQ, but at the cost of fine motor skills to a large degree (my handwriting is a scrawl and my typing goes slower than normal and is often interspersed with typos) and enough loss of social skills to make me a timid creature in the real world, but such is the way of my life (some people with the same "condition" are better off in the social dept., but otherwise qite similar or to me in that respect, in fact most are quite similar to me in that respect and are quite successful in their lives). I participated in what is known as the autism rights movement for a short time, and left because the discussion was on subjects that didn't interest me. Speaking of my interests, they incude politics an political systems, video games (to a far lsser extent), the internet, socialogical studies, and a bunch of other things. I'm really after someone who understands me and can love me for who I am, while being able to deal with the issues that will inevitably arise. Due to the fact that I am an aspie (the asperger's) I have no dating experience whatsoever, so that will be an issue, but, on the bright side i'm the last one you'd see begging for sex. (is location necessary or recommended?? If so i'm in the North Rialto, CA area) |
