No John. I am stateing rather clearly that even with the insurance our health care system sucks and that everyone regardless of weather they are climbers or not should help their friends and family when they get sick or hurt. I have insurance but certainly can't afford to get sick or hurt. It costs a lot and does not cover a whole lot. Not to worry. your social security and medicare is on the chopping block next. you might not be so cocky on this subject down the road a bit.

Just don't come back to the climbing community and ask for donations for surgeries and rehabilitation. That's part of the "risk" one assumes.
Amen brother.

how much did they spend moving intersection rock to the other side of the highway?
4) Super Topo reader snorted coffee all over computer and himself because of funniest comebacker on thread.
Victim never lost grip of coffee mug, and did not appear to sustain any physical injuries.

Worth noting that WR is no longer rated v3?
Nor should it have ever been.

So someone moved the rock danger at the base, BFD.
OMG !!!! the nature of the problem is now changed.
There's no more danger that you might hit that rock with your st00pid head and end up in a wheelchair for life anymore.
OMG!!!! we must preserve all this st00pid sh!t ...... rolls eyes

It's pretty easy to get a health plan. I don't know why one would participate in a hazardous sport without it. Get a high deductible, it will provide some peace of mind.

Doesn't it defeat the whole point of having health insurance if you can't afford to ever use it?
But I think what you meant is that it's pretty easy to get a health plan if you have lots of money. And that having a health plan, along with lots of money, will provide some peace of mind. And that's certainly true.

in 102 posts this thread has traversed from the initial accident report to moving a boulder to the sacred national parks to liability to what seems to be gang member images to injuries to health care to paying for health care and I probably missed something. Nice.
I can always find something interesting to distract me from work on the Taco. Keep up the good work.

tradmanclimbs, Sorry to hear that. Never good to lose a job when there is a mortgage to pay.
I have a teacher friend who has cancer. She just returned to work after being out for over a year. Husband is a stay at home dad. She is not a rich f*#k like me, and they are not on the verge of losing their home. All I'm saying is you're just an over-generalizing dck f*#k...

Moosehead is $4.49/six-pack here. Molson's $3.99. What's it go for in Canada?

Ooooooh, Chaz. Don't get me started on Canadian beer prices. It's bad enough to make one stay out of the country. Cali wine wasn't too bad when we were there in 2012.
Ques: Do the stratospheric beer prices energize a serious home brewing culture in Canada? I'd be all over it at those prices.

One of my favorite paces to eat is a joint right on the Canadian border in Blaine called Big Al's Diner.
Right across the street - right on the border practically - is a little convenience store with a 75' sign you can see from Canada advertising their "deals".
Budweiser $18.95/12-pack
Butter $6/lb
Eggs $4.49/dozen
Anywhere else, except maybe Alaska, you'd keep prices that high a secret.
