Yes, it is.

That would be good. I couldn't find
his name at either the AAI site or the
AMGA site. I'd like to know where it's
published also.

Interesting:

Hey, Jeff: did you really *drive* to Alaska?

Oh here it is!

dead link.

So it is. Sorry. It was the supposed to be the google groups link that
would display this very thread, thus proving Jeff's claim that his
mountain guide status was indeed published on the "world wide web."

I have charts and diagrams if you think that would help make it funny
again

Yes, it is.

Why is it that every right wing kook on the interwebs *thinks* he's an
expert on Canadian heath care? And why are they always invariably wrong?

Something in the water, perhaps? Lack of Fluoride?

Canada has 30 million people, the USA has 300 million. Any complex
system like health care is not linear therefore trying to extrapolate
from Canada's system to a future US centralized system is more than
useless. Complex systems require bottom-up principles of operation.

So? What the **** does that have to do with whether Canadian health
care covers an ACL repair?

Any other irrelevant factoids you'd like to share?

Think a little...a top-down principled system can not allocate
resources properly so it rations resources (e.g. no acl repair for you!)
The ultimate rationer was the USSR. And there was something about a
Russian Gal in this thread too. Try to get out of the box.

Ummm..

You're simply wrong about "no acl repair for you".

I haven't had the repair done because my orthopedic surgeon has
suggested that it might not be the best thing for me.

Russian Gal in this thread too. Try to get out of the box.

Try to get on topic.

zOMFG! Teh commies wre BAD!!!!

Is that all the drivel you have to offer?

The FACT is that acl repair is covered, despite your desperate attempts
to spread lies and misinformation.

As I said before, "invariably wrong".

I never stated what you say I did:

Where did I state the ACL repair was not covered?

Where did I state I was an expert on Canadian health care?

Where did I state I was a GWB supporter?

I simply made an observation that may be beyond your knee-jerk
reactionary conversation-mode thought-process.

P.S. aF(x) F(ax) and F(x) + F(y) F(x + y) no matter what you
learned in public school.

Do you even read the **** you write?

It does if F() is a linear function. But what is F() here, and what
does it have to do with the topic at hand? Just another red herring as
far as I can see.
