And PP doesn't bill insurance or refer them to people who do? By the way, the Harrington Cancer Center has treated my daughter without charge to her so I'm quite familiar with them.
Without charge or out of pocket expenses? Big difference. Not picking a fight just a need for clarity, as we have MANY cancer survivors in my family, and the biggest factor was early detection. But some of the younger generations don't have the benefits of employer based insurance, nor access to programs to help them get to see a doctor.
That's why I ask and question, because I need to know. Specifically did Harris refer her to a program or did she have medicaid?
Specifically, a doc at a large, pay clinic took my daughter in for care with no insurance or Medicaid and through his network got her the best care available, gratis - including the cancer center. She had no insurance, no income and no Medicaid. Eventually she got care through district clinic when her health stabilized.
Planned Parenthood and the benevolent libs in California damn near let her die, which is why I bristle at the mention of PP and their "health care."
Hello again,
If it was ME, I wouldn't be citing the needs of THIS criminal organization as a reason why we should do ANYTHING! In fact, the MORE they protest it, the MORE we should DO it.Quote:
Britain’s most senior Roman Catholic cleric, Cardinal Keith O’Brien, has been accused of committing “inappropriate acts” in his relations with three priests and one former priest, the newspaper The Observer reported Sunday. The accusations, which date back to the 1980s, have been forwarded to the Vatican.
Look, speaking as a fellow criminal, I don't mind smoking a joint or two, but I draw the line at f**king children.

There are potentially criminals in every organization . NYC school system has scores of predator teachers they keep in rubber rooms because union rules won't allow them to be canned .
You freqently see stories of teacher -under age student relationships . Does that mean the teacher's unions issues are not legit ?
So next time I hear teachers issues brought up by the unions I'll say "If it was ME, I wouldn't be citing the needs of THIS criminal organization as a reason why we should do ANYTHING!"
Proof of that would be interesting.Quote:

As if we don't?Quote:

Hello again, tom:
You must BE a Catholic...
Look.. When CRIMES occur under one's watch, and one COVERS IT UP, and DOESN'T prosecute it to the fullest extent of the law, one is PROMOTING that behavior...
excon
You are right Ex they keep covering up and hiding crime because they think they are above the law
Hello again, tom:
You're not saying, are you, that the NYC school system is PROTECTING child f**kers, like the Catholic church is protecting child f**king priests??Quote:

I think you ARE. Now, I'm sure you're Catholic.

No ,I said the teacher unions are .Quote:

Tut you haven't been following the debate the Union is protecting abusive teachers you know what it is like over there it is like the ACLU, protect the abusersQuote:

Arbitration is legally binding but it doesn't necessarily exclude other avenues of legal action. Your Constitution guarantees a number of protection for 'law abiding citizens', but the other side of the coins means that criminal defendants also have the same protection. You cannot complain that your rights are being taken away, while at the same time showing an eagerness to take away the rights of someone accused of wrong doing. But I digress.
Litigation is used is used in the area of criminal activity while arbitration is used in the area of Civil matters. In other words, activity that is deemed less than criminal is handled with under Civil law. It seems to be a matter that is consider negotiable between the individual and the organization.
The answer is of course to change the process where by the union gets to have the greatest influence when it comes to picking an arbitrator. The answer is is to toughen up the penalties that are handed out by the arbitrators. The answer is for the state to implement criminal proceeding against teachers who partake in criminal activity.
What we have here is the usual beat-up on unions. What we have here is the usual web-site journalism whereby some journalists justify their salary and the loyalty to the boss by surfing the web for a story and then sensationalizing it as much as possible.
Tom, I am prepared to discuss The Wall Street Journal Article, but not the other nonsense you posted.
Hi tut I think we have come to the point where those who commit a crime forfeit their rights
Whether they are teachers, priests or anyone else, any person of trust who violates a trust should immediately forfeit their rights. The law is an if it protects such people. Now I know what this means is that certain people cannot be allowed to hold a position of trust, but that's the way it is. Users and abusers have to go, pushed out of positions of trust, because such people cannot be reformed
Hello again, tom:
I'm sorry.. I just don't believe that NYC cops are doing NOTHING if child rape was happening... I just don't believe it... They stop and FRISK black people, but let MOLESTERS ride??
Nahhh.. I don't believe it..
excon
Probably correct. However, I think my above post #1345 goes some of the way when it comes to answering why such problems exist.Quote:

The issues are complex enough with the need for sensationalist and misleading information by the media.
Why would you not believe it in cases of teachers ,but believe cops did nothing about predatory priests ?Quote:

I am just concentrating on NYC . You think this doesn't happen all over the country ? People here yuck it up and joke about cases of female teachers seducing under-age students. It is a problem . But in no way does it reflect on the whole profession any more than the few cases of priest abuse reflect on the priesthood.
Hello again, tom:
I DON'T believe cops did nothing... I believe the hierarchy of the CHURCH did nothing.. Show me where a priest was exposed, and the cops did NOTHING...Quote:

Secondarily, clearly you ARE a Catholic... You make EXCUSES for them. Don't you realize that it's people like YOU who allow the criminals to continue to RAPE children?
Excon
I'm making NO excuses for them .see my 1st sentence above. I'm all for accountablity . What I'm not for is the broad brush painting you are doing ;and using that as a pretext for violating their consitututional rights.
I think it's a sad state of affairs that equates unions having a process to handle complaints to what cardinals, priests, and bishops have been caught doing for decades. Then you holler about civil rights? Yeah victims have rights too, and when evidence in a civil hearing is passed to authorities we get charges, or dismissals.
Unlike a clergy deciding behind closed doors to handle their crimes internally. Mudding the waters with innuendo and silly comparisons is just not a cool way to say "everybody does it", so its okay.
Hello again, Tom:
Ordinarily, I'm NOT a broad brush painter.. I do NOT believe an organization is responsible for the crimes of its members...Quote:
What I'm not for is the broad brush painting you are doing
UNLESS that organization has SHOWN me that it would rather COVER up the crimes instead of PROSECUTING them... And that's exactly what the Catholic church did, and is doing to this very day.

Sounds exactly like the Democrat party to me...Quote:

“Now we face anonymous, faceless, nameless individuals from right-wing sources seeking to destroy a lifetime of work,” Menendez said at Shiloh Baptist Church.
“And their smears are false. I have worked too hard and too long in the vineyards, too long with my hands, for the harvest to be soured.”
