When he got his first job...he called one of his friends in JA to send him money for bus fare '********************* BUS fare...this is too damn FUNNY...when my cousin husband come up and started working...he was sending home every thing, but the DAMN kitchen sick...she had to put a stop to that, because his family was eating it up. It takes a very long time to figure out the whole income and expenses thing in the U.S. Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of! I mean we have had the 'talk' about sending money, barrels and kitchen sinks( ) home...but talking about it and the actuality of being here is two different things. We'll see. Lawny, I hear you on the not asking for help thing...it drives me crazy too! Ken is very independent and old-fashion hates the thought of asking me for help. I tried to tell him when he gets here it's just gonna be the two of us, so we are going to have to depend upon each other...forget that "Me Tarzan, You Jane" mentality! Again...we'll see. One way or the other we will make it work! Bless, Gill Gill	Forever Young	Female	Jamaica	2008-01-17 09:39:00

But one thing I DON'T get is the heath care system. In the UK, NO children have to pay for medication. For everyone who can afford it, there's like a $10 charge for ANY medication. Here in the US it seems to me that if you earn a decent amount, or you earn NOTHING you're ok. But there seems to be am invisible barrier trying to force people who are just scraping by into poverty. My son's paediatrician prescribed him some Prevacid. When we went to get it at the pharmacy, it was free for us but the amount the insurance paid was $150!!!!!!! Now HOW THE %#%$%&$ could someone with no health insurance afford that???? What broke my heart was imagining someone's baby spitting up and in pain and the parents having to make hard choices about which to buy, food or medicine. What was the final straw is that, the medicine DIDN'T even WORK! What I did was take the unused portion back to the paediatrician to give to anyone who needed it and would have had to pay otherwise. Then we had a looong conversation about that, she was just shaking her head, sometimes it breaks her heart to see the struggles her patients go through.. I finally found a civil surgeon who says they'll do it for $50......Some other VJers said he charged them $25, so will try at bargaining when I get there lol!! Driving over to see him today, fingers crossed lol JaEngy, I hear you!! It is a dyam disgrace that we can not come up with a National Health Plan for all in this great country!! When my parents finally decided to become U.S. citizens my father insisted that we all keep our British Citizenship...he pays into the UK's tax health system every year...just in case he should ever need to he can go back to the UK and have his surgery and not have to worry about the cost. Whenever my pediatrician writes out a prescription I feel ashamed asking him is it brand or generic!?!?! It shouldn't matter!! If a CHILD is sick...parents shouldn't have to worry about the cost!! What you said about the middle class was DEAD ON!!! Unfortunately, the 'middle class' is becoming a dying breed! The rich are good cause they have their D.C. cronies and lobbyists to ensure that they KEEP their money! The poor have certain services available to them...but those of us that get up everyday BUST OUR RASS just fi keep food pon deh table and a roof over our heads get SCREWED!!! Even dis likkle $600 hand-out they want to give us...seriously do they think that is REALLY gonna solve the HUGE problem with our economy!?!?! Don't let no one fool ya ...WE ARE IN A RECESSION AND HAVE BEEN FOR SOME TIME!!! The middle class is living paycheck to paycheck just to make it through another day and NO ONE in D.C. seems to GET IT!!! So, JG...to answer your question YES, I believe that Barack has a REAL shot at getting the nomination!!! I HAVE TOO!!! Because he is the first politican in a LONG time that I have heard addreessing the REAL issues!!! Trust me I am so over him being black...tell you the truth...up until a few weeks ago I was voting for Hilary! But when I actually heard Barack speak...I changed my mind! I think that sometimes we are afraid to believe that anything is possible...can you blame us? We have been sold a bill of goods over and over again by politicans and we get nothing but pushed deeper in the hole! Barack has dared me to dream and believe that their are still politicans who are good people out there that actual give a dyam about the American people! * Gill, is now getting down from the soapbox (Jengy thanks for letting me borrow it! )* Sorry for the rant...but what JAEngy said touched a nerve and I had to get it out! Let me guh look fuh mi chuckle fi post! Love ya'll, Gill I just shake my head......I guess it's really sad to think that one of the wealthiest countries in the world can be this way towards its own people.....Are you sure that paying national insurance contributions will entitle your father to treatment??? I would advise him to make SURE this works!!! I have not informed the UK I've left, trust me if need be, I'll be back on the first plane lol..... I hear you on Obama. My personal feeling about him is that he seems to HONESTLY want to help America. He seems to be about making it a better place rather than just wanting the power that comes with the presidency. My husband is going to vote for him, always been for him. I hope with all my heart he wins, because I feel Hilary wants the power and the glory of being the first woman president more than she wants it for the good of the people. I also think she wants this to prove to herself she's better than Bill, not a bad sentiment, but not one that benefits the interests of the American people. Gurl, My father is RELIGIOUS about paying his UK insurance tax...I still have my dual citizenship and have applied for Britsih passports for my sons! Hey it's always good to have a back up plan!

Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 5)	QUOTE (Jomo @ Jan 29 2008, 09:29 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, I agree with you both on the healthcare industry. I don't know if any of you have worked in healthcare in the US or know of someone that has; but the way the pharmaceutical companies wine and dine the doctors and staff to use their products......and then to know how much those products actually cost the consumer.....well, it's sickening. What you mentioned JAE, the cost for the uninsured, ironically, it would most likely be less then those who have insurance. The price scale is all over the place depending on who and how they are charging. Again, sickening. While I think you did a wonderful thing by returning the meds, JAE, I doubt they did anything but throw them away. If the patient they gave them to would come down with any kind of reaction or whatnot, the insurance liability to the doctor would be incredible. I doubt any doctor would take that chance. Those lawsuit happy people in our pasts have ruined even a freebie! I don't know the answer. National healthcare also has it's pros and cons. And, in the end, even free healthcare, free prescriptions for anyone, including children, are not really free. Someone somewhere pays for it all. And, like Gill said, it's definately not the rich, nor is it the poor. So, again, it's all on our shoulders. I'm kindof getting a hunchback by now! Gill, I was liking Hilary as well. I still think she has her good and bad points. Wish we could morp all the good stuff together from all of them and make a perfect president who reall did do some good things. (Sigh) Gurl, I was just thinking the same thing! I love Edwards passion about the Health care thing...Like Hil's experience (Although Bill is on my BAD list right now ) and I love Obama's desire to seriously make a change in Washington! Can't we have 3 president's PLEASE!!!!! LOL Gill	Forever Young	Female	Jamaica	2008-01-29 09:45:00

After I finished my happy dance, I wanted to share. Watching tv last night and I saw Zyrtec (allergy meds) went OTC. Last year, I thought I was going to die cause I stopped taking them. My co-pay was $45 a month, there was no generic for them, nothing else was working, and since sometimes something has to give, I had to quit taking them. I suffered miserably. Today, I am excited about the coming spring. Checked out Walgreens and it was $18.99 for a 30 day supply. And, I see them on sale often. Even if I only take them every other day, I'll be in so much better shape this year. Woo Hoo!!!!!! Ok, OK.......slow day for anything exciting. You just have no idea how happy this makes me today. Jomo, mi dear, I am so happy for you! My Sister suffers horribly from allerigies and I couldn't imagine her not having access to her meds.

Gill ***************************************************************************** Wanna Take It With Mi There was a man who had worked all of his life and had saved all of his money and was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now listen. When mi dead, mi waan yuh fi tek halla mi money han putti inna deh casket wid mi, because mi waan fi tek hit tuh deh afterlife wid mi!...Zeen?" And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him. Well one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait, jussa minute!' She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. So her friend said, "Gurl, mi knoa seh yuh nuh fool enuff fi put halla em money inna deh casket wid em?! " She said, "Mi Love, mi cyaan lie. Mi promise em I wouldda put halla deh money inna deh casket wid em han I ham a ooman of mi word!" "You mean fi tell mi seh yuh put halla deh money inna deh casket wid EM!!!!?" " Yes, Man!" said the wife. "Mi check em a check!!" Edited by Deyoungting, 28 January 2008 - 09:11 AM.	Forever Young	Female	Jamaica	2008-01-28 09:10:00

The American said, "Whenever I collect the offering and the service is through, after church I put the money in a box- go outside- take a stick and draw a line on the floor and throw the money in the air. Whatever falls on the right is for the Lord and whatever falls on the left is mine." The Chinese said, "I put money in box, I dont draw line - I draw circle! I stand in center, throw box wit money in air- whatever fall on outside is mine and what fall inside is for Lord." The Jamaican then replied "Mi naw draw a circle, mi naw draw a line.

There was only a handful of "ok" posts in amongst numerous posts like this...so sad that this is what people really think and experience - and these are just the recent ones. QUOTE January 17, 2008 10:43 PM EST I was in Jamaica last year on a cruise. This is a very sad country. We traveled from Montego Bay to Negril and saw how the locals live. We also talked with our tour guide and she told us there are not enough jobs for the people that live there. We spent the day at Margaritaville and had a guard watching us the whole time. I am glad I was there but I would never want to return. January 24, 2008 07:54 PM EST We had a group of seven people who went to Jamaica last year. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Sunspree in Montego Bay and did day trips out to other areas. I would not recommend leaving the hotel security unless you had a guide. It would be unsafe. We left the gated hotel area and ventured across the street to shop. I would never do that again. We were mobbed and harrassed by the locals. If you buy from one, you have to buy from the others. We went there to be a blessing to the children in the orphanges and take them things. I was so glad to get back to our country. January 17, 2008 09:09 PM EST NEVER AGAIN!!!! Do not go to Jamaica. Nothing but criminals, drugs and god only knows what. They don't care who you are, how old you are, DRUGS will be offered to you. If you don't get out of that country without getting something stolen, then you are lucky. The only people that like Jamaica, are the folks who are from there or live there. We took a cruise that stopped there, we will NEVER take another cruise that has that as one of its stops, or we just won't get off the ship when it's in port. Very dangerous place, I would never take children there. I do not reccommend that country to ANYONE! January 17, 2008 08:43 PM EST Nearly lost both my kids. Thugs, drugs, never again Some clown at the resort invited my two 15 yr olds to go to a party with him. He gave them huge joints. They thought they were soooo coool. Had they gone, we might not have seen them again. Busboy stole our camera. Lousy place. Burn it down Yea Yardie , I hear yuh pon dat!!
