Never got it. So, by your own technical explanation, you mustn't have sent one. But is that it? Is that why you say over and over and over again, post after post after post, thread after thread after thread, day after day after day that I am a "liar"? Is that why you do it? Because I never read one of your PMs?

You are mistaken. And I am not lying about this.
Is this all you've got, though? THIS is your reason for calling me a liar ad nauseam?

Scriabin summed it up nicely w/ this quote:
So I doubt the authenticity of this FMF character altogether. I would speculate that this person is, in fact, either a male with gender problems, or a female with no gender discernable, lacking even the basic identifying characteristics that usually characterize that gender.
When it comes to the question of chlidren, our FMF appears on totally foreign ground --
the "immense" satisfaction FMF gets here is that of a predator. a bloodsucking emotionally dead, machine-like paranoid bent on venting their spleen by hunting and seeking to kill using this forum as a metaphoric jungle.
well, enough of this for me. so long as the rest of you folks want to amuse yourself with this pathologically paranoid person representing themselves at times as a male, at times as a female, but never as an honest person, you may do it to your heart's content.

You didn't "get" a joke, weeks and weeks ago, and you have been harping on and on and on and on and on about it ever since.
Hundreds and hundreds of people here, including all the people I've played chess against, know what's what. Except you, generalissimo and joe.
OK, so you missed the joke on a few occasions long ago. To call YOUR misunderstanding, MY "lie" is daft. Was there really a rabi in the brothel? Or was I lying about that too?
But the question remains. Why does my gender matter so much to you? I detect a slight dysfunction here with you.

Go back and see what? What thread? What lie?
What lie about Cuba? Just say what it is. What lie?
'See my lie FOR MYSELF'? Are you for real?
What are you prattling on about?
can we get back to the thread's topic now? or do you have to continue with your disingenuous act?

All health systems are rationed. What is your problem?
The question is how they are rationed. Are you insured? Is your policy fully paid? Does it cover this condition? Does it cover this treatment and its consequences? That is rationing.
Of course, that has the downside of increasing costs and squeezing out those who cannot afford it. So, you need to strike some sort of balance. But, we can't just pretend that there's a set amount of healthcare out there and it has to be rationed among the people.
Is there some rationing now? Of course. The question is whether this plan will increase rationing to an intolerable level by cutting down on the amount of healthcare produced by discouraging providers from opening clinics or even entering the profession.
Incidentally, I'm not sure of the answer. But the issue is not that cut and dried.

It really isn't that bad. The worst part of it is when the funds start getting low. When that happens, rationing takes place. If a person has a life threatening condition, they will be treated. If not, they may not get seen by the doc or certain expensive meds.
The rationing that is scary for socialized medicine for the nation would be eugenics oriented. That might not happen now or in the near future, but down the road who can say? I don't want big brother creating a situation where funds are short and government decides a person above a certain age can get limited treatment. Or how about this: if a person smoked he gets no chemotherapy. Or, if you werent wearing your seat belt, no ER. If you were buying certain groceries no tripple bypass. If you owe back taxes you are out of the healthcare system. These are pretty extreme scenarios, but eventually government will use the necessity of healthcare to control the populace. I mention this as they may one day try the single payer deal and Government will call all the shots.
