I believe it is $150 for a developer license.

Thanks for the correction. I'll have to post some updated information!

That is a good point. Treatment has to be regulated, and some would call that rationing. But it's no different that what goes on now. Only now, it's a heartless for-profit entity that makes the decision instead of a heartless government run entity.

Sicko doesn't wholly convince me either. But it surely is a shame that those 9/11 rescue workers were given quality treatment in Cuba (for free), when they were unable to secure payment for treatment after their insurance company denied their claim in the US.

It is also a shame that the inhaler needed by one of those rescue workers costs $150 in the US and is only a couple of dollars in CUBA.

Whatever happens, they need to find a way to lower costs in the US before they bleed us all dry. For private insurers, that goes against the for-profit mentality. So maybe a non-profit insurance company is the way to go.

I was denied coverage today. My dentist sent me to a root canal specialist to get looked at for a borderline root canal eligible tooth. After 2 Xrays and an exam, the specialist said, "Na, I don't think it needs it".

Delta Dental denied coverage for the exam saying that I cannot have 2 exams in 1 month. I'm glad we have "good" health and dental insurance, but they don't ever do me any favors.

You can do the tracking yourself, but you need to employ a method of doing that tracking. Here is a good service to use, <a href="http://cli.gs/Bt8U6s." target="_blank">http://cli.gs/Bt8U6s. It allows you to set-up each ad, and gives you custom HTML code to give your publisher that tracks everything about your ad.

Hi Rick, I have found that you really need to use a service to manage your tweets. I use this one, and after evaluating all the free services, none of them do what you want. To accomplish what you are asking about, you really need to use this Tweet manager. --> <a href="http://cli.gs/L4yhj7" target="_blank">http://cli.gs/L4yhj7

No problem! We all have opinions, and I knew this topic would bring out both sides. Thanks for the comments!

It's been working great. I think I like it. Surely an improvement over the default comment system.

This is why I generally stay out of political discussions.

Perhaps what I said isn\'t meaningful or insightful at all. But I think the message I am trying to convey is that when someone has their back against the wall, they will say anything to get out of trouble. The insurance and pharmaceutical companies are spending millions on lobbyists and advertising to try to spread \"misinformation\". They are trying to keep things from changing because they are afraid of losing money. I say, don\'t believe everything they say. Do your own research.

Sicko is one place to get a different point of view. Before deciding how you feel about it, you should be exposed to several possible alternatives.

I don\'t necessarily think that government should run our health care, but no one will argue the fact that health care costs are out of control in the USA. I think it centers around for-profit corporations charging as much as they can get away with so as to increase their profits.

At the core, there is our system, and it needs to be examined.

Even with my Blue Cross PPO plan, medical costs are still very restrictive. I pay nearly $400 dollars per month for insurance, and still my co-pays for tests and treatments are more money than I can afford most of the time.

I don\'t know what the right answer is, but I stand behind a further examination of the issue.

I really like your policy of 1.5k max outstanding. I think I will adopt a similar policy. It seems to be a way to protect yourself and still be able to work with companies with a net30 payment policy. Thanks for the comment!
