FixedBusiness 407 Posted July 14, 2017 I drove by the ambulances near where Jimmy Carter was working (yeah, I live in Winnipeg...) Freaked me out since I knew he was here today but glad to hear he is okay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FixedBusiness 407 Posted July 14, 2017 Jimmy Carter out of hospital to attend the 8 am devotional at the build site of Habitat for Humanity, then left for further rest. Looks pretty good. There is a couple of pictures here including shaking hands with the Mayor.http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/jimmy-carter-hospital-winnipeg-1.4204869?cmp=rss 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted July 15, 2017 Hmmm Not planning on picking JC anytime soon - wouldn't rule out a 100th birthday for a guy who still seems so engaged with life. Seriously, he's likely doing more significant lasting work for the planet in retirement than the current president is doing in post. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted July 26, 2017 Carter predicts U.S.A. will eventually have single payer healthcare. I think he's right on this one, I feel like Obamacare was set up to pave the path for single payer healthcare in the future. I wouldn't necessarily say Carter is credible in his "predictions" though, I recall him predicting presidents will one day have 6 year terms. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a single payer system in Norway and it is wonderful. EVERYONE pays for health care through their jobs, unemployment or retirement pay. We chose our own doctors, can change them up to twice a year. You can chose the hospital you want to be treated in - most chose the local hospital though since driving times are far in Norway. Small co-payments for doctor appointments and emergency room visits - free when the 350 dollar limit is reached each year. No costs for hospitalization. Free prescriptions AFTER one pays that first 350 dollars each year. Everyone is covered. It requires that everyone be legally registered to live in Norway and have a Social Security (Person ID) number. (Free clinics for illegal aliens, they somehow get registered off the books - a sore point for those who pay for the health care system.) I paid more taxes when I lived in the USA than I do now in Norway. Cheap in the long run when everyone gets treated at earlier stages in their diseases/illnesses. Carter is a visionary. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeffreyTheSuperSnail 66 Posted October 1, 2017 I was able to see him at church a couple of weeks ago, and I think that he's in excellent shape for his age. He was standing up and walking around the entire time he was teaching, which was about an hour. He was also aware of current issues, and actually compared them to verses in the Bible. There was a session before the Sunday School lesson where he had a few conversations with the people attending. Overall, a pretty fun experience. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,940 Posted October 22, 2017 After the joint snub of current US president Trump with the other five that are alive he decides he fancies a trip to North Korea to hold peace talks with North Korea https://www.thedailybeast.com/jimmy-carter-wants-to-be-trumps-north-korea-envoy I suppose he's too old to give a fuck about being taken as a political prisoner?
