			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a citizen of Russia (lived here all my life). I was visiting my brother on vacation last year in USA and had a seizure and small stroke so I had to stay in the hospital for a few days. They did a <a href="http://www.radiology-technician-schools.com/radiology-technician-schools.php?keyword=mri+schools" title="MRI SCHOOLS">MRI</a>, Cat scan and other things to see what&#8217;s going on. I am 60 and have a history of strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes so before I went on vacation, I purchased in Rusia health travel insurance for K. My hospital bill in Houston was K so I thought there will be no problem.<br />
Last week ago, I received in Russia the hospital bill for K because insurance didn&#8217;t want to pay because of &#8220;preexisting condition&#8221;. My question is what can happen to me? I am very, very worried. My salary here in Rusia is about K a year so it&#8217;s normal that I can&#8217;t pay K hospital bill. My brother in USA says nothing can happen but I am really worried. I can&#8217;t believe anybody will just leave me alone for this much money. Can you please help in any way; what can they do to me? Thank you so much!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i find this case very interesting becuase its one of the most shocking unsolved murders.Ive been studying this case for the past two days and have came up with my own theories bases off the 2 page letter the Ramseys found on their stairs about Jonbenet.<br />
 here is the letter:</p>
<p>Mr. Ramsey</p>
<p>Listen carefully! We are a group of individuals that represent a small foreign faction. We xx respect your bussiness [sic] but not the country that it serves. At this time we have your daughter in our posession [sic]. She is safe and unharmed and if you want her to see 1997, you must follow our instructions to the letter.</p>
<p>You will withdraw 8,000.00 from your account. 0,000 will be in 0 bills and the remaining ,000 in  bills. Make sure that you bring an adequate size attache to the bank. When you get home you will put the money in a brown paper bag. I will call you between 8 and 10 am tomorrow to instruct you on delivery. The delivery will be exhausting so I advise you to be rested. If we monitor you getting the money early, we might call you early to arrange and earlier delivery of the money and hence a [sic] earlier delivery pick-up of your daughter.</p>
<p>Any deviation of my instructions will result in the immediate execution of your daughter. You will also be denied her remains for proper burial. The two gentlemen watching over your daughter do not particularly like you so I advise you not to provoke them. Speaking to anyone about your situation, such as Police, F.B.I., etc., will result in your daughter being beheaded. If we catch you talking to a stray dog, she dies. If you alert bank authorities, she dies. If the money is in any way marked or tampered with, she dies. You will be scanned for electronic devices and if any are found, she dies. You can try to deceive us but be warned that we are familiar with law enforcement countermeasures and tactics. You stand a 99% chance of killing your daughter if you try to out smart us. Follow our instructions and you stand a 100% chance of getting her back. You and your family are under constant scrutiny as well as the authorities. Don&#8217;t try to grow a brain John. You are not the only fat cat around so don&#8217;t think that killing will be difficult. Don&#8217;t underestimate us John. Use that good southern common sense of yours. It is up to you now John!</p>
<p>Victory!</p>
<p>S.B.T.C.</p>
<p>Based off this letter i can conclude that the killer was someone who knew John Ramsey and knew his salary at that time.I know for sure that it was not the parents.I strongly believe that it was more than one person involved.These people were smart and familair with law enforcement.These ppl were secretly watching the Ramseys.They clearly said that they would kill her if they were to call the Police and the Ramseys did and so therefore they beheaded her.One possibility is that they could of taken her and the two men were keeping a watch on the Ramseys to see if they were following their directions.Once they found out they werent they killed her and placed her in the basement.Idk but its a possibility.This murder was planned out well and the killers must of hated John since they never mentioned Patsy in the letter.The killers said they would call them about further information but they never called according to the Ramseys.They never called because the Ramseys did not follow their directions and so therefore they killed Jonbenet just like they promised and so therefore there was no need to call.I have a lot more conclusions but its too much to write.<br />
What can u guys conclude about the murder based off the letter above??</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been trying to figure out what career in psychology I want to pursue for awhile now. I have been interested in being a cognitive neuroscientist, although I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;d enjoy working with CAT scans and such, though I do enjoy research. I love almost everything that deals with psychology, although cognitivie aspects such as memory, thinking, language, etc. are my favorite. I have also considered being a therapist, though I&#8217;m worried I won&#8217;t be able to help the person or something. I also enjoy writing, and I have no problem with working towards getting a Ph. D., so the degree you need for the job doesn&#8217;t matter too much, nor does the need for a minor (such as neuroscience). If you have any info on psychology careers and advice, please let me know <img src='http://www.radiology-technician-schools.com/radiology-schools/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Including salaries, good classes to take, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A profit based system requires that money is paid to investors. Executives running a for profit company put investors first. Investors will get a dividend quicker than workers get a pay raise. Companies having to meet wall street expectations have a fiducary responsibilty to maximize the return on investors money. In a hospital to cut costs they can hire less nurses, this results in each nurse being responsible for more patients. In the whole system the less being paid out be it building improvements, salaries, equipment upgrades the more money left to pay back investors in the form of dividends.</p>
<p>In a non-profit those actually working in health care are the only ones recieviing monetary gain. Everyone from the administrator to the cleaners. Money would also go be used to improve the buildings, and purchase new equipment.</p>
<p>Individuals would pay a weekly, monthly or yearly premium. Employers would pay a tax just like they do on social security for each worker to cover laid off workers. To cover the lazy non workers a basic  fee for things like doctor visits prescriptions and emergency room visits, tests such as <a href="http://www.radiology-technician-schools.com/radiology-technician-schools.php?keyword=mri+schools" title="MRI SCHOOLS">MRI</a>, Cat scan, and blood work.<br />
it seems interesting to me that people equate health care to staying in a hotel or buying a car. After purchasing a policy from a for profit company, I do to the doctor who orders a number of tests, my insurance company refuses to pay for the tests saying they are unnecessary, that doesn&#8217;t say much for customer service.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Would it mean that all jobs in USA would cease immediately? No? People would still seek employment, and companies would still hire them?</p>
<p>2. Well how would the employees be &#8220;compensated&#8221; without corporate healthcare insurance plans? There is a thing called a paycheck. That would be the way to compensate the employees.</p>
<p>3. So how would people get health insurance without having it given to them by their corporations? They would buy it on the open market. That&#8217;s how they get groceries, and cars, and houses. So they would go to the market, pick out a policy. Sign it. And start paying premiums. The glove fits, so wear it. Each glove fits each customer. Wow, it&#8217;s like tailoring! What a concept!</p>
<p>4. How would this affect healthcare utilization? It would make it more moderate, more appropriate. If I have to pay for my own coverage, I&#8217;m likely to go for a high deductible policy with a Health Savings Account as backup. Very efficient &#8212; and all the tax breaks come to me, not the corporation I work for. When I need care, I just get what I need. Not those extra PET scans and CAT scans just to see if they can find something, two or three times a year. Not those luxury discretionary operations and treatments. Just what I need. That way, my premiums stay low, my health stays OK, and I have  million in coverage in case of catastrophic illness, or accident (with a ,000 deductible, covered by my Health Savings Account, from which I get a taxbreak).</p>
<p>All corporations are always insatiable greed machines. So any contract or arrangement in which a corporation participates is going to be slanted mostly so that it benefits the corporation, not you, even though you think you&#8217;re getting a big freebie. They would have to pay about 15% to 20% more in salary to attract employees if they did not offer healthcare insurance. So, cutting out the insurance is revenue neutral for you, but you get a much better deal, and you participate in lowering our national expenditure for healthcare, so maybe it doesn&#8217;t go all the way up to 25% of GDP in the next five years, which is where it&#8217;s heading now in five years time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I lived in Canada for four years, the health system was great. My sister-in-law has lived there three years, her biggest complaint is that she only gets a dozen mental health visits a year. (Imagine that, health coverage the includes mental health!) </p>
<p>I worked at a school in Canada and I was a sports coach so I went to the hospital frequently with injured kids. I was injured myself once and had to get a CAT scan. I never had to wait, I could go to any hospital I wanted.</p>
<p>I had a coworker who injured his eye ask me to take him to the emergency room. I thought it would be like a typical American Hospital and take hours. We were in and out in less than an hour, stitches and all. When was the last time you were in and out of an emergency room that quickly? </p>
<p>I house sat for a physician. We talked about there health system and he loved it. Sure, he made a slightly more modest salary than his American counterparts. But he drove a BMW, sent all his kids to private school and lived in a Victorian era home that is worth well over a million dollars so he was not hurting for money.</p>
<p>So what is the deal with all these horror stories? Where are they coming from?<br />
Someone said: &#8220;you cannot compare big cities to smaller cities and towns, operating rooms, ERs and wards are being closed all across Canada in smaller cities and towns,&#8221;</p>
<p>I lived in a town, village to be exact, of 4,040 so my experience was not exclusively of big cities. Although my sister-in-law lives in Vancouver, so I have experience in both environments. I wonder what Province you live in? Perhaps Alberta?<br />
&#8220;I SAT in the ER for &#038; hours with a broken back, I saw a woman go into a diabetic coma while waiting to see a Dr in ER. My daughter started having seizures and was told she had to wait 2 YEARS to see a neurologist, she ended up in ICU with 4 seizures back to back and THEN she got to see one sooner. My friend waited 6 years for a hip replacement in SK .. &#8217;nuff said. &#8221;</p>
<p>This is how your story would have gone in the US. Your wait time would likely be the same if not longer in the ER with your broken back. (Last time I was in the ER in the US I did not even get a proper bed for 36 hours, I was in a holding tank.) </p>
<p>The woman in a diabetic coma? She would not have gotten treatment in the US at all until it was too late. A Canadian woman can get treatment no matter what, poor Americans lose limbs all the time to diabetes because they get no treatment because they have no insurance.</p>
<p>Your daughter would have gotten treatment in the US, then you would be bankrupt, even if you had insurance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a citizen of Russia (lived here all my life). I was visiting my brother on vacation last year in USA and had a seizure and small stroke so I had to stay in the hospital for a few days. They did a <a href="http://www.radiology-technician-schools.com/radiology-technician-schools.php?keyword=mri+schools" title="MRI SCHOOLS">MRI</a>, Cat scan and other things to see what&#8217;s going on. I am 60 and have a history of strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes so before I went on vacation, I purchased in Rusia health travel insurance for K. My hospital bill in Houston was K so I thought there will be no problem.<br />
Last week ago, I received in Russia the hospital bill for K because insurance didn&#8217;t want to pay because of &#8220;preexisting condition&#8221;. My question is what can happen to me? I am very, very worried. My salary here in Rusia is about K a year so it&#8217;s normal that I can&#8217;t pay K hospital bill. My brother in USA says nothing can happen but I am really worried. I can&#8217;t believe anybody will just leave me alone for this much money. Can you please help in any way; what can they do to me? Thank you so much!<br />
I guess people don&#8217;t seem to understand that I DO NOT LIVE IN USA. I live in Rusia. I was in USA only on a vacation. I don&#8217;t have credit report, social security etc. It&#8217;s like you getting sick when you visit China.</p>
