Not necessarily by your insurance. In fact, some of this "stimulus" money went to help make up for the lack of bills. There was about 50 mil in late payments that were being given to our state hospitals. Whats sad, is the fact that the state was going to use this money elsewhere, my father almost got laid off because of this. Luckily (for him) there was a change of heart from our local government.

Medicare, to help catch up on their payments, also short change the hospitals. Lets say a procedure costs $8,000. Medicare would pay $3,000 or $4,000.

Maybe he was too stinking drunk to know he was bitten.

So what is this "wish of the American People" that Obama wants to "override"?

Recognizing that Palin is not a good role model goes in your favor though, really it does.

come rob me and ask me out

What St. Louis is doing about the vaccine:

CREVE COEUR, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - Parents listen up: your child may be able to get a swine flu vaccine at school in a few weeks. The St. Louis County Health Department is offering the flu shots to every school in the County, parochial, private, or public. It's being called a preventative campaign. Swine flu is highly contagious and targets children from six months to 24 years of age. Administrators and health staff from school districts throughout St. Louis County gathered at the co-operative school district headquarters in Creve Coeur Tuesday to figure out how to get students immunized.

Dr. Michael Williams, Director of Disease Control Services for the Health Department says there's no pressure for school administrators to accept the offer, but he's hoping they will.

"There's no obligation. There's no coercion. We just believe, in fact, we know this virus targets kids."

The manager of health services for Parkway School District, Lisa Harnacker, says Parkway is already making plans to set up a health clinic at the schools in its district.

"I was notified by my superintendent last week that this might be a possibility and from what I'm hearing it's going to happen."

The county health department is getting a large shipment of the H1N1 vaccine in October with direction that children and young adults get the shot first. That's why health officials are offering the vaccine to every school in the county and are educating school administrators and health staff about the virus.

During the meeting, administrators asked health officials a wealth of questions including how long students should be kept out of school if stricken with the virus. The superintendent of the Ladue School District, Marsha Chappelow, wanted to know when to close school in the event several students get swine flu.

"We don't want to create a panic. We want to keep our schools open so students can learn."

Many schools are already taking steps to help keep their doors open and prevent the spread of swine flu by making sure students wash their hands frequently. Administrators will decide whether to set up flu clinics in their schools. Parents will decide whether their children will get the shot.

You sure you aren't related to the Palin family?

That's what I was thinking - they were getting paid in a somewhat reasonable amount of time. I've seen what they get paid though. Sometimes the small amounts are shocking.

It isn't going to happen period, only the sick and mentally twisted would think of it in the first place.

I am even a fan of assisted suicide and I wouldn't think or consider along those lines.

The people who have come up with the idea are the sickos and it sure as hell wasn't Obama or the healthcare counsel.

He's saying it like it's fact and not opinion and there are fools in this country taking it as fact.....which is Rush's plan. That's the problem.

Oh you mean those Liberal Judges you always ***** about!!!!!!

WOW great response if Barry was caught Dr shopping and lying to investigators!!!!! Rush should have lost all his rights just like everyone else who commits a felony in Florida!!!! PERIOD ENOUGH SAID!!!!!

The Coke was left over GWB anyways!!!!!

I'm getting sick of the bashing on all sides personally. There is very little tolerance these days. Even if this was published...I can decide not to read it if I want

I think there's a big difference between offense and the possible loss of life. Does the university have the right to make a conscious decision to avoid violence and possible injury, does it not have the obligation. Just asking...

Yes we should deal with what drives someone to violence but you see how far we have gotten with that study over 30 years and we still have a very long way to go. And people that create such comics certainly don't make that job easier or faster.

I am just not so sure that some of the things we call free speech really are free speech when they cause death or violence.
