Other than medicine what 3 things could you absolutely not live without?

Please serious answers only.

Based on the current health bill, available on-line, it states on pages 57 thru 60 that a data base is to be established that will include an individuals financial ability to make co-payments, the individuals medical information, and other information relevant to maintaining cost and treatment options for an individual.

I am pretty sure that the vast majority of people are unaware that this will allow the government to not only locate but track an individual and also allow the government to seize an individuals funds to pay for things other than health care.

The bill also stipulates that the NEW program will NOT have to comply with FAR's (Federal Acquisition Requirements) nor will it be required to be part of the budget oversight process. Its first year budget is set at 10 Billion dollars and may be adjusted as directed by the Secretary at will every year after that.

It also will not be required to provide any form of Dental or Optical care unless an individual is willing to pay for a Premium Plus program over and above the basic, enhanced and premium programs.

Last but not least unless qualified everyone would be required to pay a co-pay PRIOR to receiving any treatment or medicine.

Health Reform sounds more like Nationalization of Health Care and the national registration that social security didn't quite cover.

What do you think?

Living in a paradise with no hate or war but no religion of any kind?

Living in the deepest dankest pit filled with hate and war but lots of religion?

Please state your religous affiliation if any.

What is taking so long? Any time I try to leave a detailed answer it keeps popping up with YA is taking a breather. What gives?

It has been said that Obama doesn't have enough experience, neither did Washington. Clinton has a scandal in her past, so did George. McCain has and is using his military background, so did our first President. Final note Washington believed and supported slavery before his election and had many heated discussions with Thomas Jefferson on this subject.

You know your sweet spots but does a light touch work better or does a firm grip send chills all over? Oil or lotion or none at all? On the floor or on the bed?

It appears that Christians have more intolerance for other beliefs than any other religion or spirtual practice. They carry this to extremes more than anyone else. Does anyone really Know why? I am a Pagan by choice.
