How or why would someone spend hundereds of hours in the emergency rooms, doctors offices, and hospital waiting rooms? I am very close to retirement age and haven't spent that much time in facilities. I guess my neighbor with multiple instances of cancer has spent such time in facilities. He...
I agree with some of what you said.
I need to steer you from the anti-trust exemption so that you can speak to the problem without someone attacking you.
I looked into the history of anti-trust and insurance. All it means is that insurance companies can share underwriting information...
The quote below was the premise. Due to the uninsured, If they can mandate you purchase health insurance then they should be able to mandate you purchase auto insurance to keep the risk pool happy. They could mandate and mandate and mandate all in the name of public good.
After elected...
I agree with your argument. If the health care reform plan is constitutional, it is also constitutional to force city dwellers to buy auto insurance. The argument is made that at some point you will use health care. That is a false argument. There are young people that will be killed...
Smarterthanhick you are a real case. Narcissist comes to mind. It is not that you have won anyone over with reasoning and evidence. People get tired of debating with idiots. It is like trying to debate with children. Children pose such inane ideas that you are presented with nothing to...
I agree.
Please tell smarterthnhick that all over this country you have volunteer fire departments. Fire departments are not always a government entity. In my area we also have a private police department. It is a regional police department that can be purchased by any local government...
Can anyone tell me why smarterthahick posts this "100% of the time there is not a generic, and it is important to realize that older meds can address the same thing with a higher likelihood of side effects. Some of these are to a negligible degree, certainly, but putting others at risk just...
Rationed? That depends. Since I pay most all of my invoices out of my check book, it isn't rationed by any insurance or government entity. Perhaps if I have cancer like my neighbor and need $300,000 of care, my insurance company might have some say in the matter.
But for normal, "hey doc I...
Exactly and it is the reason I will no longer debate with people that can't understand the economics in life. They are in a dream world with Utopian thoughts but it isn't real life. SO they make obtuse arguments about the good of society and fireman and policeman, etc. They muddy the water...
Now it is clear, you just like to argue. It doesn't matter if you have your head up your you-know-where, you'll just argue for the hell of it. The statement below shows you have no idea what you are talking about. One hundred percent of the time there is no generic. You just showed me I am...
Using your theory of health people, why was America the most productive country in the world? We didn't have the NHS like the UK. The UK with their NHS should have been the big producer, the IBM, the Apple the Microsoft, etc..
Firehouses are not always free nor are they owned by the...
Twenty five years ago I wrote a paper on this matter. Union contract bartering is what started the entire mess of divesting people from the true cost. During each contract negotiation the UAW bartered for less and less out of pocket health care costs. That idea floated into the regular work...
RDD ----- do you ever have any financial thoughts on the matter other than what you've heard? In my life I have gone without health insurance and had to pay for things out of my pocket. You aren't going to die without health insurance. There are many things that will or can kill you but not...
Excuse me?!!!?!?! :cuckoo:
America was founded and grew as a great nation based upon individualism. It was not based on Socialist beliefs and was far from most of the European model of governing. It was not based upon taking money from you to pay for my stuff....period
Now we do have a crop...
