[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21009659]Except for apparently overbooked doctors[/QUOTE] Doctors that are so overbooked that they have [I]five months worth[/I] of broken bones to fix before you. Let's see, just being generous here, lets say a doctor can set 4 broken bones a day, just for the sake of argument. That would mean that the doctor would have to treat over four hundred and forty people with injuries equal to or greater than a broken bone. If that many people were breaking their bones, then that would mean that literally [I]hundreds[/I] of people would be dying from infection and other ailments caused by the injury. There would literally be people dying in the street.
They never should have invented that bone-breaking machine...
guys my brains were literally falling out of my ears and it took a doctor 4 hours to see me public healthcare sux
So what if AT&T has to spend a bit more (I'm sure they can afford it) or cut back slightly on their employees' benefits? At least they still [I]have [/I]health insurance and now a lot of other people will have it too.

[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;21013417]One billion is a million million.[/QUOTE] No, not in the U.S. A billion is 1,000,000,000. A trillion is a million million (I seem to remember the U.K. calling our trillion a billion).
