The rumor now is that

Michalek + Gryballs

For Delzotto and a cap dump.

Kind of sucks because I thought Michalek has been pretty good lately and returning to form. Would not surprise me if ge starts to tear it up in NY and earns himself a huge contract.

Oh great, back-to-back on the road and now we're going to get a post coaching tantrum effort from the Oilers. Shame they couldn't have won on Saturday vs the Blues so the whole city of Edmonton wasn't taking a random Monday nighter as a referendum on the Oilers franchise and the state of fandom in the city. ;)

I see this a lot. The issue is, when people who can't afford it go to the ER or something and can't afford that, the costs get passed on to the rest of us via taxes.

I literally cannot afford to pay for health insurance for the foreseeable future. It's not a matter of not wanting it, I have a gallbladder that needs to be removed and soon.

What are their contracts like? I'm not sure the Rangers can afford this. We're super close to the cap.

Cam Talbot starts for the second night in a row tonight.

You guys already like hockey. Just move up to Canada where your favourite sport is more appreciated and you don't need to pay anything for healthcare :)

I would love for our tax dollars to cover nationwide health care but that isn't the way it works in scenario you quoted. That person still gets billed and since they have no way of paying it, they get screwed over and the tax payer gets screwed. My broke sister has about 5k in unpaid medical bills right now and her credit is fucked because of it.

...that wasn't my point. I have no issue with taxes.

I don't like the "I can't afford healthcare but when I go to the ER, other people who can't afford paying my costs have to" thing.

Edit: what var said. The rest of us are stuck holding the bag on it.

Same reason I don't like the "I'm an illegal alien, but when I go to the ER it's a free buffet.". Then you have some dick politician saying how we can't give them health care either.

Would be wonderful if the GOP didn't label the exact same thing as a terrible thing when a democrat proposes it then.

Then tell GOP politicians to stop making becoming a citizen so hard and more people might get their tax documents and numbers, Sanjuro.

Didnt mean you did. And if everyone is paying tax at the tax bracket for what income they make why does it mater? What your saying does not make sense to me. This is not how it works in other countries with socialized medicine. Poor people pay less tax than wealthy people.

I guess that is just a fundamental difference between us and you. You don't want to pay taxes for healthcare that would benefit people that cannot afford it? Are you not already doing this for people on welfare etc?

I'm from wacky Liberal-Land. Everything here is non cannon in the story books.

That's the joke. At the same time, most of those people aren't going to rush to become citizens anyway.

Yeah. It can be frustrating. I had to deal with some nonsense years ago. Once Romneycare kicked in, things became much simpler. Thanks, Mitt!

I'd like to think if this was handled by a gradual state-by-state mandate it could have been accepted a bit easier, but it's foolish to think anything would work like that.

People's ignorance on taxes and where they go in this country is mind boggling. I know someone who drove his pregnant wife to Montreal a few days before she was due because he thought medical attention is Canada was cost-free.

This is the funniest thing I've heard all day.

I'm actually curious how mind-boggling stupid you have to be to actually think this....

Just go to H&R Block. The person there will tell you everything you need to know before his/her shift at McDonalds.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's out as long as Torres is supposed to be. ~4 months.

Fuck Dustin Brown.

Edmonton is so fucked. Just really hard to watch. I went to the game a few weeks ago (vs. VAN) and it wasn't even close. VAN straight up dominated them. Then last night I see that STL beats the crap out of the them as well.

This is like 8 years without the playoffs. That must suck some serious ass.
