Intestinal blockage?

[LeneSouthAfrica]

Glad ur feeling better and had it taken care of.
Wow. Never knew it was this common...anyone know why bowel obstructions happen so often with CF? Is it the indigested fat, too many enzymes, the mucus?
(go cleanprep! Mixed with water+juice, tastes much better than gastro*puke*graphin and works in a few hours)

Lene,

My wife was recently in the hospital for the same condition. The university CF clinic physician called her case "constrictive colitis". Unfortunately he did not give us any other information and advised us that he had to call a friend of his in London that has had experience treating CF patients with these symptons.

Hey guys. This post is a great example of how crappy Canada's socialized medicine really is. This poor man had a bad medical situation, and obviously waited as long as an hour to not only be see, but to also be triaged, intaked, and had full diagnostic tests performed on him, and have his problem diagnosed!!! OH MY GOD!! WHAT A CRAPPY SYSTEM!!!! It's such a good thing the U.S. operates on a for profit system...I mean, in this exact situation, I would obviously be able to be seen much quicker right???


Oh ok, there goes my sarcastic side. Recently (all of maybe 2 weeks ago), at our local hospital, my brother in law who was fully insured *THAT WORKS AT THE SAME HOSPITAL AND HAS FULL INSURANCE* took several hours to finally be seen, diagnosed, and processed. It was determined he was having a gall bladder rupture. After the entire hooplah (a ton of waiting), it took X amount of time to be seen, diagnosed, have surgery, and then go home.

Guess what? I did research on these statistics regarding this condition...Guess what? The Canadian system actually took several hours sooner to do *THE SAME EXACT THING*...*AND IT WAS FREE*...When I say "free", we all know the funding comes from somewhere. Currently I pay around 25% in overall income taxes, social security, and tons of other BS just from work. There is a movement in the U.S. trying to make our taxation a FLAT tax system, where our income is not touched, but everything we buy would be taxed at about 22% taxation. This way EVERYONE pays into the system. Drug dealers, scammers, and everyone else, has to buy stuff. And in turn, pay into the overall system.

I'm just so sick of the hardcore right types saying socialized medicine won't work. And would ruin our country, and the quality of care is so substandard...
Here is what I propose: I personally don't believe in a "free ride". Everyone, regardless of status, should either pay into, or in some way contribute towards the cause that they benefit from. Medicare is a joke. Medicaid is a joke. Private for profit health care is a joke.

If you benefit from a system, in some way, you should contribute to, if you can. If you are incapable of financially putting into the pot, you should to some extent, volunteer your time to make up for the difference. If you aren't able to financially put forth your share of the payments, then you have to do X amount of time doing whatever you can, to whatever extent capable, to help others in our society.

And when all that is said and done, our system contribution for *TOTAL 100% CARE* should be based on a small percentage on our income. If you work and you "make" 2000 dollars a month, you have to pay a percentage for your total health care. Let's say you have to pay 50-150 dollars a month. As long as you financially contribute a universal percentage amount, you are 100% taken care of. No private insurance spokemen will come around and kick you our of your hospital if you flag the profit actuaries by being hospitalized 3 times within 9 months (it happened to me). Whatever your doctor says, goes.

granted, to make things fair, if someone makes 8,000,000 a year income wise, the percentage should stay the same. Let's say it's a static 5-10% of your income. Do you have any idea how much financing would develop due to just this basic model? Even at a low percentage of actual workers, who have a flow of income to feed the system, it would feed a system that is very healthy. Those who are covered, but don't use any if not a majority of their coverage, would help pay for those who have a catastrophic illness.

It makes perfect sense to me. And it also makes me laugh when I hear those who condemn the other socialized medicine models out there. I'm shocked that most people don't understand how a contributed system would not work. It's just comical to me how people blindly embrace their own political crap that others have fed them and defined for them, and won't see how we (the U.S.) is the most powerful, able country on earth...And yet our healthcare system is run by profit, share holders, and oh yeah, profit.

Free ride? NO. Responsible contribution? YES. Problems exist in this system? YES. But nowhere near as bad when health care = association with profit.
