What will happen to your seat heaters?

Check out "life proof" cases. I have fallen on mine, dropped it down 8 or so concert steps had it flung off of a mule at top speed and it's prefect. They are pricy cases but worth it. Also customer service is top notch. They are replacing my front free of charge because the rubber is separating. O and did I mention it's waterproof to 10 feet. I have only tried a foot or so and it's dry and functions like new.
Didnt hurt mine
I took the USS Dig-Dug out this weekend too...ask Andy how cold the water was
Watch Andy, then skip to 2:55 to see my voyage...
Looks like fun
Now, imagine your nose drops 2 feet and all you see is water on your windshield...welcome to the Avocado crossing that cost me a pair of shorts!Nice job in tracking the nose correctly, you really did a good job keeping the bow wake in place and protecting your passenger side fender/intake.
From where I stand and watch the health care mess we would have to climb a long way up out of the ravine to get to the ditch level. But that's just my .02 worth American Health care has become one of the only profit area's in the economy. Just check out any small town or city the biggest and finest buildings are going to be health care facilities. Long way from County Doc's in there buggies. True: back then health care was not as good.... but you never heard of someone being bankrupt by his mandated by the state medical treatment . Alas then you pay for what you get it's just I would like to option of choosing not directed by some federal politically correct demigod.
ask the Canadiens how they like their socialized health care systems.
$48 bucks for a case of bud is cheap!
And for those of us that live an active/healthy life style.
We may go years without seeing a DR but that weekly/monthy fee we pay will go towards the treatments of drunks, drug addicts, smokers and the diabetic at Dennys who just ordered another tripple stack.
the war on health care...
will it have a better ending than say the war on drugs...or the war on terror?

The real problem is once the goverment owns your healthcare they own you 
also a lot of problems with insurance today stems from the fact that originally health insurance was set-up to cover catastrophic or major unexpected conditions not to cover every little doctors apointment and perscription as it does today. It is no longer insurance it is a healthcare plan, hence why the cost have gone up so much. Why the change you ask? You guessed it goverment regulations forced insurance companys to cover the cost and as a result premiums went up. Just as they are going up this year with the new regulations in Obamacare that requires insurances companys to cover people with prexisting conditions among other things...... my wife and I's premium has gone $120 a month due to the new regulations

Well, in fairness...the concept of managed care is to prevent the major incidents by providing the smaller, incremental services to prevent the major problems. If you said simply: you are on your own for everything but major medical issues a majority of people would spend less on every day care and end up in larger, more costly and dangerous situations.
Preventative medicine is really better for people...and it costs less if done correctly. Isn't medicine meant to extend and improve quality of life? I believe it is.
I simply think Americans are less likely to take care of themselves, less likely to exercise, and are willing to take for themselves (entitlement).
Shouldn't I be allowed to smoke, drink, eat fast food and still be thin, healthy, and live forever? WHY? Well, because I am an American!!!
If you saw the mentality in other countries you would be ashamed of the American attitude. We are so intent on not being controlled or told what to do, but we are less free in so many ways than everywhere else. It is the ultimate government boondoggle.

In fairness insurance and managed care are two completely different concepts...... I am a fan of insurance in its original concep, not managed care. If people aren't accountable for their selves that is their issue and should not be the burden of others. The line of reason you are displaying there reminds me of the nanny state concept, were as goverment has to "baby sit" its people because left on their own they are too dumb to make the right descisions. Which is where I am afraid we are headed, to many people have come to believe the government is the answer for all their problems, resulting it a total lack of self account ability.
as my good buddy Thoreau said, "The best government is that which governs least!"

That's also why the govt is cutting military spending but increasing welfare benefits...the united states of babysitting....go ahead man sit on your ass it's ok someone else will foot the bill

Yes sadly if you ever take the time to read about the founding of our country and the thought process used by our founding fathers, you would be utterly appalled at what we have for a goverment today. Set up as a goverment to be small in scale, balanced, and limited in powers so as not to impede our individual liberties and pursuit of happiness, to today's monstrosity with goverment pertruding into every aspect of our lives.... it makes me sick to my stomach
"The Obama administration plans in the current fiscal year(2011) to increase welfare spending 42 percent above where it was when George W. Bush submitted his last budget in 2008. The 2009 stimulus removed work requirements from the food stamp program and increased eligibility requirements, which has contributed to this increase. As a result, the Obama administration has almost doubled spending on food stamps since taking office, increasing spending from $39 billion when he took office to approximately $75 billion this year."
There you go sir
LBJ started welfare under the guise of a "war on poverty" but all it has accomplished is creating a whole new class completely dependent on government handouts and a solid democrat voting block
I still think a CCC type plan would work better. If you can't/won't work but want government subsidy then go to work for them. Earn your keep, get drug tested, or don't get help. Half of our parks were built this way (by people out of work, put to work by the government). We have a large unemployment/welfare issue, we have an infrastructure problem...I think these two things could solve themselves
The interesting thing to me is it is almost a cultural mindset in America now. We think we are so free that we shouldn't have to work. We think that we deserve the best healthcare, infrastructure, etc. Then we turn around and refuse to pay for it. Lower taxes, less government. Do you think a private company is going to build a road? Nope. If they did, there would be a toll, and it wouldn't be pretty.
Government is needed, but it is needed in the areas governments belong. Infrastructure, commercial regulation, taxation, healthcare. We just got too far into personal life and we need to step back and realign out government needs with reality.

How does this relate to health insurance if everyone is required to pay for it and if you don't it comes out of your paycheck?
I'm not of the policy Me, Myself, and I. I believe in We the People, We are our brothers keeper, do onto others etc...

agreed, if we are going to give out hand outs atleast make them work for it!! I'd love to stand outside a welfare collection office with a bag and collect all the celll phones on their way in....Priorities people
not sure what you are saying??
I do agree with you on "We the people" not "we the goverment", it is not the goverments job to take care of us; that falls squarely on the shoulders of us
