Well yes. I suppose Americans are rather primitive. As long ago as 1914 even. However, it is my understanding that your Austrian ancestors were mass murdering undesirables as late as 1945. And the Americans, Canadians, Ozzies, and Brits had to murder rather a lot of you savages before you would giv...

And we here have more smokers than you have in the US. So that makes up for your other issues. Also according to Msimon, more drugs make you healthier (self medication), so if you really have more illegal drugs, you all should be much healthier there.
LOL

Of course they have a risk. You're insuring against the risk you'll develop a need for medical care. For God's sake, did you think about that statement at all before you wrote it? Did you really try to understand my sentence? No you did not. I meant that if they are trying everything so they never ...

Now that EMC2 has the money to determine if polywell will work or not, it would be nice for John Slough to get some money for his FRC concept, in the event that polywell does not work out. True that would be nice, but lets not get greedy here. It is already a small miracle to me that this much fund...

I also want to add that with the more we learn about the human genome, the bigger the chance will get that insurance companies will want a gene test before they insure you (or wont insure you). I see the number of uninsured people in the US go up.

Yeah and that at much more thrust... At least from what I understand. Pretty cool if it works. Still, you are effectively limited in the amount of acceleration you can do (for manned flights anyway) with it. E.g. you wont be doing much more than 1 g for polonged periods of flight. You might be able ...

I didn't see those, but the MSM is overwhelmingly leftist so most likely they are giving only one side of the story. Generally what you find in these cases is that the insured lied about their medical condition. People have some strange ideas about what "insurance" is. You can't buy fire insurance ...

Well, I still dont agree that these victims should not get health insurance. It just is wrong. Anyway, here in Austria they get it, without questions asked. Whether drugs are the right treatment for their problems are a entirely different topic (though we had that topic drift in here before). I just...

I can't figure out why a .8T pulsed machine is going to cost $8 mil. Unless it is very big. Say 2 m or larger coils.

Maybe an experiment to veryfy the scaling that Dr Bussard predicted?

Yeah, I think that by this time we all know that the only thing that will ever ignite in ITER is money

Then victims do not take responsibility. As I said earlier - victims were often abused children. Then they grow up and incite situations to repeat the abuse. Are they really victims? I find this a quite disturbing way to look at things, Msimon. Sorry, but this is quite perverted. Putting the guilt ...

Well, in my world view the victims are always the ones that deserve protection. No matter whether the guy was looking to get mugged, the mugger was not forced to mug him after all. I also want to point out that while the abused abuser picture gets held up very often by lawyers, it rarely is the trut...

They can be sued, which can cost more than the treatment even if they win, and such cases generate bad publicity besides. I posted some more examples from the Washington Post. Well maybe they are "fact challenged" too. I have a feeling though that they both are true. Insurance companies have entire...

It's not an unimaginable scenario, but I doubt it's common, or has even occurred. It is one of the nastinesses of domestic violence that victims usually dont talk about it. Most never gets reported. That is a fact. So it does not seem a far stretch to me that victims would not report it to the insu...

No, not denial of treatment, but denial of coverage. If domestic abuse is handled as a preexisting condition, then they can deny coverage if they think that you widthheld that information during application for an insurance. After all, they can generally deny you coverage if you widthheld informatio...
