What is the difference between Health Insurance and Health care Program?

  2. gedimindtrix says:

    HEALTH is dope and if you can’t appreciate their sound then you’re probably not very musically adventureous and you should just go back to watching maroon 5 videos or something, get off this page bitch! jk….

    Okay, I read most of that and didn't see that you pointed out that you thought it was the anal gland… did you? Sure it's the vet with the degree, but he's still human right? If they didn't want to hear your opinion or suggestions, then it's time to get a new vet pronto! Vets should not be so haughty as to not listen to a really concerned pet owner. At first I thought you were taking the cat to a vet who specialized mostly in bigger animals like horses (like my first vet), but when you said it was a cat only clinic, then … geez, what was the problem in looking at his behind a little more closely? They've certainly seen claws and teeth before from a cat or two in pain. I personally can't believe you paid them another $120 after the $480 that failed to correct the problem. I sure wouldn't have. And furthermore, they shouldn't have required any further payment.

    i like this band because by far they are the most original sound i have heard in a while.

  7. sukkyatlife says:

    i suppose you listen to some mainstream pop crud huh???

  8. Illegal Smile says:

    This is so funny & true in so many ways! I'm an Aries, I never thought about it before, but I too think Hard Headed Women by Cat Stevens was an Aries.
    If somebody held a gun to my head & told me not crack a smile, they would just have to shoot me if I saw a 35 year old sucking their thumb. LOL!
    This question seems to ruffle the feathers of the Scorpio, except for tomboy101013. They must have that sugar hysteria going on with the chocolate. :)
    A star for you!

  9. paintmask says:

    yeah i guess i listen to everything from mainstream pop to alternative, metal, hard rock, classic rock, folk, rap, abstract, techno, elctronic, drum abnd bass, and this band, is by far the WORST check out my youtube page, i mean just because we disagree about this band being good doesnt mean we wont agree on other things. but yeah Health sucks a fat gonorea dick.

  12. hiimdaisy says:

    Originality and progression are what’s important in music, and these guys definitely have both. Bonus points for the kickass music video, one of the best ive seen in a long while.
