  1. Absolutely, just luck at the massive benefit to society legalized marijuana has been.
  2. Exactly. Let the people that use it, pay for it.
  3. While drugs are a hole people fall into, many of the people involved, particularly traffickers are doing what they want. What is saddest about attics is the number of well-meaning people that do more harm than good.
  4. I like using a desktop PC as well, but getting it down to the ATM for a cardless withdrawal is a hassle.
  5. I was talking more about people that actually pay the bill with their own money, but many would quit buying travel insurance if medical care was free, yes? No, the principle of insurance is that many pay a bit in the event that they are one of the few that need it.
  6. So is "THAI NEWSROOM" an Asean Now company?
  7. Do you think that everyone needing emergency medical treatment is broke and without insurance? No, but they are certainly not going to pay for it if it's "free". Yes, so all the responsible tourists pay for the irresponsible tourists, brilliant.
  8. You can seriously believe that the cost will not go up if medical care is made "free". That's more ridiculous than calling it a "human right".
  9. Yeah, I don't believe that I think the idea is ridiculous. Is food a human right? Housing? Transportaion? Internet?
  10. Unless you like dark colored cars, or sunroofs for that matter.
  11. Why do you assume it's Thailand that does not have it right?
  12. Therein lies the rub. Yes, people should have valid insurance and I driver license, I think we all agree on that. The issue is what's to be done about the irresponsible few?
  13. So when everyone that comes gets free medical do you not see that 0.04% rising significantly?
  14. The problem typically arises when the person renting is irresponsible, putting the onus on them will not pay the hospital bill. So as long as they have a copy of anything they're clear?
  15. I may be wrong, but I think most westerners visiting Thailand do not need a visa, so making insurance a visa requirement will do nothing. I also think it a good bet that most people traveling to Thailand for holiday either have insurance or a little money or both. It's not like the medical bills are astronomical, this guys bills are less than $20K.
  16. How is a small rental operator in a tourist supposed to know if the license they are shown is even real? You can show the most anything. I gave a "license" I got from the Autopia ride at Disneyland to a police officer and he took it. If it's up the operator to check licenses or insurance, they'll be someone down the street selling licenses and insurance. Compelling the rental operators to carry insurance to cover medical would be a better strategy. Let the people renting motorcycles pay for it.
  17. The kind you like to stick your..........in.
  18. That's what I said in a previous post, you must have missed it. And it would be no different in a government or any competent hospital.
  19. As always, the responsible many will be punished for the actions of the irresponsible few.
  20. Is there not an app for that?
