Virginia GOP gubernatorial candidate (and state attorney general) Ken Cuccinelli thinks health insurance shouldn't cover routine doctor's visits... -- (link) - Don Homer Jul 11, 08:19 11

  - Sort of like car insurance and chips in the windshield? - Was Bar Was Jul 11, 08:35
  - what argument is that? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 11, 08:33 5
    - That insurance is meant to be for the unusual and expensive, I suppose. But I think it's misguided to treat health and property the same. -- nm - mara Jul 11, 08:36 4
      - Right. The argument is that the insurance system should be for catastrophes but that routine procedures should be paid out of pocket. - spamlet Jul 11, 08:46 3
        
        great. i'll just wait over here for "routine procedures" to actually be priced like routine services -- nm - charlie Jul 11, 08:58 1
        
        And part of that problem is dealing with insurance companies. - spamlet Jul 11, 09:08
        
        cause routine checkups mean a lower reduction in catastrophic incidents? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 11, 08:57

Hey Jim, is there any concern about IT staff that these salary adjustments won't be sustainable? - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 11, 08:08 5
- Not that I'm aware of...they've been pocketing plenty of cash off of us for years. In the 7 years prior to this... - Jim Jul 11, 08:14 4
  - I would think that reduced turnover costs would pay back a large part of increases. -- nm - amanda Jul 11, 08:27 3
    - The thing in the back of my mind right now, though, is (spoilers) - Jim Jul 11, 08:32 2
      - So, are you guys hiring? - Will Hunting Jul 11, 08:59

      - maybe, but - tRuMaN Jul 11, 08:21
