• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Universal Healthcare for all

It was only in the 70s that medical insurance companies were permitted by the government to be for-profit industries. Before that, they had to be non-profit companies. We could roll back to that, too.

True, but that still leaves the problem of each insurance company defining their own contracts, networks, payer policies, authorizations, etc. that tie member and provider hands, increase costs, and just make everything very complicated. Authorizations create an entire middleman industry on its own.

I'm privileged that I don't have to pay $$$ for medical care here in Australia. I have paid for operations in private hospitals but I get money back from that because I have private health insurance. The only public thing I really have to pay for is for MRIs. But my appendectomy only cos $2600 here in Aus...if I had the same operation in the USA it would have cost me $30,000 at least.
