  - True, and with LANDL underperforming, it should have pretty smooth sailing until ICEA3. - Jelly Jun 6, 11:27
- Trek, Transformers, Harry Potter (maybe). -- nm - JaxSean Jun 6, 11:13 1
  - While I'd love for Trek to do that...I think it ends around 260. -- nm - Remlik Jun 6, 11:16

- I love jumping through hoops to get my heart medication paid for. I would really miss the begging I do. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 10:37 15
  - though in all fairness, in most of canada you'd have to pay for non-lifesaving prescription meds - mafic Jun 6, 10:41 13
    - I think redmond's are life-saving. But even if they weren't, they'd probably only cost ten bucks. - Beryllium Jun 6, 10:43
    - Well the prices are cheaper because you don't honor patents I believe. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 10:43 11
      - That might be part of it, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 10:44 8
        
        sort of. we do *honour* patents, but they don't last nearly as long with pharaceuticals. -- nm - mafic Jun 6, 10:50 7
        
        I wonder when "Happy Birthday" will enter the public domain? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 10:55 6

        You leave me out of this!!! I have nothing to do with patents!! - Walt_Disney Jun 6, 11:16

        Didn't Sonny Bono push legislation to extend stuff like this too, before he died? -- nm - Tim Jun 6, 11:04

  - I'm not sure there's much of a difference. - Dr.Vermin Jun 6, 09:58 41
    - I believe that full and complete health care is a basic human right, and you shouldn't be afraid to seek medical attention - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 6, 10:17 21
      - I see your point. - Dr.Vermin Jun 6, 10:22 18
        
        I see your point, too - unfortunately, I am violently repulsed by its inherent sociopathic evilness. - Beryllium Jun 6, 10:33 11 3

        Our Country is so rich we provide Red Bull to our poor. Top that! -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 10:30
      - Agreed. The cost to society to keep people healthy is far smaller than the cost to society when people are sick. - TWuG, First Apostle of our Lord and Savior Musubi. Jun 6, 10:21
