Re: Edward Snowden support thread
As Mr. Snowden contemplates million dollar book deals I cant help but think something is critically wrong here philosophically speaking. Moral schizophrenia keeps popping into my head.Expecting or rather demanding absolute protection especially after 911 and then being shocked that those you demanded it from use a full court press with technology and any other means in order to ensure it.
Ps- I don't pay for anything medical.;D

You pay $10 a month or less for a prescription. I think multiple prescriptions are $10 too. Under 16s and over 65s don't pay anything.

Which is typically one type of pill and many conditions require more than one pill. Each prescription is paid seperately and so if you have to take say 4 different pills then you are paying quite a bit. It is far from free which is the assumption many people overseas have.

Re: Edward Snowden support thread
But most working people will have to pay for the prescriptions and often it is paying for a bunch of prescriptions. It adds up and though cheaper than America, is still way more expensive than here. I know exactly what I am talking about. I was in England last year and keep abreast of everything through my media too.
Re: Edward Snowden support thread
Working people with conditions that need an ongoing prescription do not have to pay.
Re: Edward Snowden support thread
Well, that is nice and as it should be. It still isn't a free health service though, when you have to pay extra for your medicine.
I see America has been spying away on the E.U. Isn't it about time the world banded together and started to treat America as a pariah along with its crony allies? Absolutely off their rockers and of course Snowden should be hung, drawn and quartered for his 'criminal' acts. :rolleyes:

They're currently doing a three-for-the-price-of-two pallet deal.
