Login HereTim Fite - "Away from the Snakes"
Good news.
More than half of U.S. doctors now favor switching to a national health care plan and fewer than a third oppose the idea, according to a survey published on Monday.
The survey suggests that opinions have changed substantially since the last survey in 2002 and as the country debates serious changes to the health care system.
Of more than 2,000 doctors surveyed, 59 percent said they support legislation to establish a national health insurance program, while 32 percent said they opposed it, researchers reported in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
Aside from politicians and big pharmaceutical,I guess the big insurance snakes just can't keep a friend these days.
What's on your mind tonight?

ES!
be nice if we had a system like they do in the uk.
eureka!
Hey hey Eureka!
The Docs are probably fed up with the maze of paperwork and the denial of services they recommend…!
Evening Eureka!
Snakes on McCain!
Yoo snake!
Hey ES.
Yup, I can imagine the doctors just shaking their heads as more patients are refused necessary intervention.
is Youtube working for you all? They were down for maintenance earlier.
Yeah. Good here.
ES, was working fine for me just a few minutes ago.
oops didn’t intend to be rude. evening, es *g*
working, nice slow song, and everyone gets shit on.
Just like our health care system.
just like the (formerly known as) middle class
Here’s the deal with doctors, they have all become employees. This has changed their culture and perspective.
The results of this change are a mixed bag.
OT but a Fascinating video from the Britannica Films
Where does our country stand on the scale now after seven years of Bush and Darth (Mr SO)himself!
Are they unionized?
All I know, in my narrow view, is that I’m apprehensive for the future regarding health insurance/health care. Right now I’m ok (municipal employee, union member) but things have got to change, because so many have so little.
I would be happy to Digg this post if someone would submit it.
I am still banned from submitting by Digg.
neuro, I’m with ya — I’ve never successfully submitted a Digg.
It is DUGG!
Thanks. I can Digg it, man.
thanks newton
With my online rep, I’ll be in the same boat as you soon enough. :-)
Doctor, doctor…
I dig you all, and thanks.
grrr, Digg keeps telling me I’m not logged in….so I keep logging in, and it tells me once again that I’m not logged in.
Is it possible that the Hippocratic Oath is kicking in after all these years of the Goopers and their enablers plundering the system?
Docs today have to be seeing patients, in poorer health from lack of maintenance, in exponentially greater numbers.
Digg hates me also. Gonna get me a shovel, and …
When I try to Submit a new post, it lets me get all the way through the process to the point of proving I’m not a human. First, it took away the box with the letters and numbers, so I had to use the audio feed. I had to use headphones in order to understand what they were saying, and it usually took me three or four times to get one right. Then, it started cutting off the audio after three or four characters, so there was no way I could complete the process.
Well, FDL posters can’t say I haven’t tried…*g*
Federal law prohibits physicians from forming their own national union, but they (if not self employed) can join a union if they punch a timeclock for someone else.
These docs joined the teamsters.
Digg is all f*cked up tonight I had tried to digg and when I submitted it the page just sat there spinning it’s wheels. And after giving up on being first I tried to use newton’s link and when I hit digg I didn’t show up… they screwed the pooch tonight… oh well
evening all
Well, they say when you find yourself in a hole, the first thing you should do is quit Digging…
Evening nahant
Earlier today I tied to do one and it kept yielding up server errors. Big.Red.Ones.
newt, that sounds ominous…
I’m giving up on Digg tonight. Sorry ES! I really do dig your post! *g*
Yep. Gotta sell my DIGG stock issues and invest in Green Stamps (the only solid currency in the US of A that will hold its value in the coming…)
forget it.
Funny that you mention Green Stamps. For some reason that came up at work the other day; a bunch of us old-timers were remembering how our moms would accumulate those books of stamps.
Blenders, patio furniture, steak knives.
We got our kitchen glasses from the “filling station.”
I am not a big fan of Maureen Dowd, but her column in today’s NYT is worth a read.
Genesis, featuring the brilliant Peter Gabriel…
Dancing with the moonlight knight at 5:20
Yes, newt! We had ourselves quite the collection of juice glasses from the filling stations, and other sundry items.
and 2:50
Huge and respectful disagreement.
About Senator Obama:
This is classic shit-shoveling MoDo. She has an ugly soul.
I do remember S&H green stamps and the glasses and mugs from the gas stations!
http://www.archive.org/details/Despotis1946… check out his video!
Please, let’s NOT talk about patio furniture…patio tables, anyway…
my mom liked to go to the places that offered both blue chip stamps and green stamps
Oh, yeah - my bad…
So, anyone seen jayt?
There was still a Greenstamps redemtion center in my home town into the eighties.
Never heard of blue chip stamps.. Must be hoity toity (sp?) California stamps. *g*
Once when I was a kid we went on a cross-country car trip with my father, for whom it was a business trip. My mother went to the trading stamp store and bought all the camping gear we needed with trading stamps she had saved up. It was a great trip.
You gotta just love the French Military
Of course this being ‘Ought Eight”, that was a long freakin time ago.
Holy merde!
I tried to follow your link, but the YouTube wouldn’t play. Said they were performing site maintenance. Then it kicked me clear out of FDL. :(
Clear off the Internet, in fact.
Assholes and elbows gettin the hell out of there!
That would be the canadian military. Harper buys great equipment with my money…
I don’t know if it’s just me but I have had a lot of trouble with FDL this week. Reloading the front page can take twenty minutes if I don’t just give up and reboot my computer.
Like you, as I indicated, I don’t care much for Maureen Dowd. But, what I found interesting in ths column, isn’t what you focused on, which is, frankly, the MODO schtick that aggravates me, but rather, the interesting observation that Hillary is the best thing that ever happened to Obama.
I like this solo from the same album…
Jeez, we’re old.
Rut Ro the toobz is acting up tonight… is that an indication of the NSA f in with us??
I just tried the link and it worked just fine for me… Nero they got your number :>)
I don’t dare click on that…
Well, I have mentioned the unmarked white van that has been parked out in front of my house a couple of nights this week…
You too?
If there is a You tube at the top of the post it takes at least five minutes before I can get to the point where I can THEN click on the comments,which means it has to do it all over again.
Last night when I would try to submit a comment it would boot me back to the main page and I would have to start all over again.
Enough to piss off the pope.
Just a little simple guitar from Steve Hackett…
And I couldn’t load it at first either, so I did a hard-ref and it came right up.
Me three.
I thought it was my damn computer.
Yes, and it’s the only site I have troubles with this week.. I tried to tell RBG, but he didn’t have the same problem.
everyone turn, smile, and wave to the nice nsa monitors
Ah yes, one of the best solo in prog music. Mister Hackett is quite amazing.
Saw Genesis with Gabriel five times.
Are you telling me to bend over? /s
I know part of it is my old laptop, it just hates you tubes on web pages, anybody’s, especially here because they have the animated advertising, which it also hates.
Double whammy.
Someday I’ll get a newer laptop, in the meantime I am just tickled spitless I can get here at all.
8)
i was refering to where the phone lines come into my house is behind so i would turn around and wave
your milage may vary
Just fought my way back here, elbowing my way past the NSA types at the gates.
I’ve also been having problems with FDL lately. Takes a while to load with all the ads, and the digg is ridiculously long to load at the end.
On the NSA front, we have our own little bunch of spies here in Canada, who are getting their first exposition in the news. The politicians approach it dainty, same kind of talk as you’ve been getting in the states… In these times of terrorism, individual liberties are taking a backseat to security. Something tells me Harper is listening to all his opponents, like Cheney does…
The age of the compter has something to do with it. I am fortunate to have access to several computers and the newer they are the better they do here.
You missed a fun fellow I posted a couple of nights back.
I got one for ya,
the stupidest fucking guy on the planet thinks we’re all assholes.
I have a message for him, too.
Disclaimer, serious blogwhore on the second link, you can skip it, lot’s of bad language.
I swear Feith is Gollum reincarnate.
I SO want to see him prosecuted and incarcerated!
Truly, Busted - If you don’t let out, it will eat you up. :-)
Yoo too.

Merci ES, merci Suzanne, merci tout le monde.
Dayum, ES, that guy is good…sorry I missed it at the time! Damn 12 hour daywork shifts…(cussing)
Doug Feith can go find himself a nice patio table to get friendly with.
Bonne nuit Q, and bonne anniversaire (sp)
busted, i saw this (over at the treehouse) and immediately thought of you
This is my second favorite youtube of his.
I thought you would like him..)
I doon’t know about yours, but my patio table has this huge, free-standing concrete mount for the umbrella under it.
I broke it.
It says 0%
ROFLMAO!
Bustednuckles, I like your second link.
A lot.
Thank you.
I try not to hold back.
ES, the YouTube isn’t cooperating for me at the moment :-( I gotta get out of here, as it’s late — but I’ll come back in the AM and check it out.
Thanks, I like his sound based on that first vid!
busted, i do have to admit that the tags you use always bring a smile to my face
RBG laughs at ‘em too.
I love it !
Busted, that was brilliant…rock on!
