So EB players and team members , where do you go to school or what is your degree?

Two years at St. John's College, Annapolis, dual major in philosophy and classics; I was planning to go for a commission in the US Navy once I graduated. Got horrifically sick and used my tuition money to pay for hospital bills, so I took the OTHER route into the Navy. I'm getting out the Navy in about six months, whereupon I'm going back to St. John's through the wonders of the GI Bill. May buck for a commission yet, though I doubt it; I've been eyeing the graduate program in Eastern linguistics at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.

SICKO? did you watch it... hope you don't get sick anymore, if you do - just go to EU or Canada or even East Europe - all is free or cheap here - and get your health back on track

"I'll pass", I think, is all I'll say to that.

Well, "I'll pass" and "thank God for Johns Hopkins".

Yeah, non-Americans are pretty much the only people who say things like

So, we could tell.

Cheers.

Its all very true actually, I live in Serbia whose GDP is less then 3,500 $ per capita and I get free health and my medicine - and to tell you something, no body who get's 'horrifically sick' uses his tuition money to pay for hospital bills!
We all get it from the state ! - oh, and yes, my country doesn't spend billions a year for 'plastic' - and insurance companies actually have to report to the goverment and public without a moto - 'less care' - more 'stock's up' - abd share holders...

and sorry, this is my finall post to this subject.. anyone with health problems can come to my country - no one will refuse to give health care if he needs it - that is the law here - and practise

that is all from me ... I wont be addressing in this post again

If I lived in Serbia I'd probably have been dead. Actually if I'd lived anywhere except London or Maryland I'd probably have been dead; if I'd gotten to the hospital an hour later it'd have been too late, and even then I happened to be lucky enough to be rushed to a hospital with one of the foremost experts in his field.

That's what I meant by the "thank God for Johns Hopkins".

Sorry if I came off as hostile; that wasn't my intent. I have a soapbox on this subject (public vs. private health care systems) that I try very hard to stay off of; obviously I didn't do a good enough job. Mea culpa.
