Jack Osbourne has MS

[Va Beach VH Fan]

[Never was]

My bad

[fraroc]

Jesus.... this is absolutley terrible and he dosen't deserve this after becoming such a mature, clean cut, young man....My Mom's boss' husband was diagnosed with MS when he was 30 and he had it bad he died just two months ago, and in the end he was in a total vegitative state. He couldn't walk and talk, he was on a feeding tube and ECMO (Heart/Lung bypass machine) and in all out terrible shape. But I gotta give that woman and her daughter credit, they knew damn well that man was on his deathbed. They were basically by his bedside 24/7 until his passing....

He's got a cunt for a mom too.

Yeah... I never would want to wish such a devastating disease on anybody, but if someone in the Osbourne family HAD to get it, Sharon would have been far more deserving.

Man that sucks ass. He did not ask for that. Nobody does.

Healthcare is just a big stew of corruption. I can remember when health insurance was reasonably priced only 20 years ago and the patients abused it. I remember people just going to the doctor for something a band aid and some ointment would have fixed but the insurance covered it. Too many people start doing that they have to raise the rates. Then you have the lawyers. I don't know what it is now but in the 1990's the cost of the doctor's liability insurance for each baby delivered was $1000. That cost was passed onto the patient.

Then you had the pharmacutical companies over charging on medications and then the insurance industry started over charging.

Now the new so called socialized medicine scheme we call Obamacare is robbing Medicare. Then of course those programs get overbilled. I paid $12 cash for some medicine that Medicare gets charged $118. So that shit goes on. Then you have all the people selling shit and billing it to Medicare.

So it's 360 degrees of corruption and everyone is to blame.

No its not taking it away but the current system leaves patients without remedy for typically a decade, leaves bad docs in place, drives up costs, mandates docs practice cya medicine and focus on liability management instead of patient care plus causes patients to undergo massive amounts of unneeded tests and delayed treatment. In states like Florida docs go bare without insurance cause its too expensive to pay $100 k a year for $250 insurance that will be not enough. So patients have no remedy they can get a judgement but then doc declares bankruptcy and homestead protection and patient gets shit.

That should not be reformed?

Docs and patients lose without reform to reduce costs, reduce CYA medicine, and provide more arbitration to speed the process for patients. Lawyers do lose on tort reform. FYI vast majority of all politicians are prcticing lawyers.

We should have an open season on lawyers to thin the herd. One thing that could be done is have a loser pays the defendant's court costs. That would end a lot of the frivolous bullshit. Nobody would sue unless they knew they were in the right and could win.

So this should happen with the stupid fucking "birthers" in Florida. We all know their "lawsuit" is not even going to be allowed to proceed. So they should be fined for wasting the court's time.

But I digress.

Tragic for Jack.

Though I would think it divine justice if his Mom wound up fidgeting in a wheelchair while foaming at the mouth and crapping all over herself.
