So my question: Why did he lament that he had to work so many hours as he had to recover from doctor bills from his study time when he had not an insurance ???? This provoked my question. If the system works as good as we have here in Europe, no reason to oppose. Just say: o.k. we have a similar system here. Roger !
To compare our European fee in EUR with yours in USD is insane, as dollar remains dollar for you and EUR remains EUR here, but if you come to Europe it is horrible expensive for you for a factor of 60% while it is nearly half for us if we study there. Also: playing loudly with open windows with the neighbourhood quite distant in rather suburban areas cannot be compared with the situation in appartments or condos in the cities. One must not see ones own circumstances alone but also get informations about others. And this has to do with hornplaying as horn playing makes noise even by a perfect player. And I repeat, practising LOUDS passages over & over - just TO BE HEARD in the concert - is insane, unhealthy & waste of energy & destroys every feeling for music besides destroying every feeling for the fine nuances of the embouchure. This energy is better put into practising piano & pianissimo passages which come rather as forte or mezzoforte my many players. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Gross Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2008 3:56 PM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Dangers of Playing Loud (Hans) Many universities do offer low cost Student Health insurance. The student must take the modest effort to enroll and pay what to me in the 1970s when I was in Graduate school were very reasonable fees. We also had an on campus clinic with 24 hour health care and physicians on staff during the day. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of hans Sent: Friday, August 01, 2008 12:06 AM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Dangers of Playing Loud (Hans) Question. Why dont students not have any health insurance in your country ? Here in Germany & Austria all students have to join a given health care system, paying a very, very just nominal fee, otherwise they will not be enrolled as a student. So the situation for (ex- or still) patients like you is very different. Does it come from the "profit comes first" philosophy of the society ? Or "being rich means being pius" ? ============================================================ _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans%40pizka. de _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
