The only thing Amir0x has done for the poor is buy cheap drugs from poor drug dealers.

I thought right wingers preferred workfare to welfare, should we not be commending ami for patronizing locally owned businesses that employ the disadvantaged instead of some neo-Victorian charity charlatan? :ohhh

So GAF hates Giant Bomb's Dan Ryckert? Why is that? I never cared for GB at all, but it's funny how people hating on him bleeds to other threads.

Eh lots of people love him as well in the gb thread, and he is pretty funny. But he's very much the kind of guy who's proud of his ignorance and not caring about things, which is also what makes him funny. But of course some GAFers will get hurt when he dismiss anything with "but i don't care, who gives a fuck".

Let's be honest: Dan brings energy to GiantBomb, without him it would be Jeff and Brad being bored with literally everything that is going on. He might not be the smartest man, but fuck who cares; I bet a bunch of stuff he is ignorant of a bunch of other people are even amongst those that pretend to be offended by him.

I'd rather have a beer with Dan than with a bunch of other people

He brings dates to hoodslam, so already there he's a pretty awesome guy in my book.



and I'm not sure he's that dumb really. He plays up his persona and enjoys people getting upset at him I think. He is needed for giantbomb to be bearable after Vinny left the office.

I'm not going to disagree on religion. Obviously it was made by man to control the people. How many empires has god defeated? 100?

Healthcare isn't a human right. It requires trained humans to perform, this isn't fucking shoveling snow. Presuming to cap or reduce salaries on medical professionals because YOU think it should be free is not feasible unless you want us to be like Canada and your herpes can wait 40 days to get medicine for. Because of this healthcare nonsense some of our best doctors have already left the country and the medical schools aren't seeing the talent they were use to even 5 years ago. Be careful what you wish for.

This is why I support an NHS style system being established asap.

Ideally it would function more like the Soviet Union's right to healthcare (IT WAS IN THEIR CONSTITUTION) but I'll take what I can get.

Having the best doctors in the world doesn't help you if you can't afford to go there.

I'm not saying it should be free but in a country with so much it's deplorable that people essentially opt to die because they don't have the money.

Look, I'm all for reducing the impact of the cost of treatment on the end user. Absolutely must be done. However there is the fine line between treating your doctor like a doctor and treating your doctor like "Company Worker #4" who likes to take long lunches and half asses on fridays. Not sure anybody wants a doctor like that. Unmotivated and unable to acquire wealth for his time and effort put into studying the profession.

The problem is the system. So long as there's money to be made it will continue. Which is why I'm not a fan of Obamacare because it just changes who's paying, not the underlying problem. I've consulted for every facet of medical care and I can tell you everyone is pointing fingers at each other, insurance companies point at hospitals who point at doctors, who point at pharmaceuticals who point at CROs who point at pharma manufacturers and they're all getting rich while doing it.

There are some very basic things we could do to ensure top quality healthcare for all but it will take a centralized system to stop the finger pointing and make it happen. Obamacare does nothing to fix that.

I don't disagree. I've been on the board at a large hospital for a few years. The finger pointing is obnoxious but it doesn't change the underlying fact that humans get into this field to make money for their families. An abrupt change to how they are monetized isn't going to help anybody.

If I had to rank the biggest "issues" in my opinion when it comes to pricing it goes like this

1) Insurance
2) Doctors
3) Big Pharma (they impact but not on the macro level of the two above)
4) Improper salaries from years of plucking talent from each other has set the market too high
5) Management at hospitals (less responsible than you think, they are at the mercy of #1 and #2)
6) Government involvement.

Third-party pre-payment plans aren't insurance and are as transparent to the consumer as Manute Bol's skin.

I secretly enjoy when people ask how much something medical will cost them and the person responding is all like  :mindblown "how the fuck should I know?!?" And the person who asked doesn't understand why other than "companies."

Yeah, the Soviet experience clearly shows that the UHC model is unworkable. If only someone else, like every other first world country on the planet, could give us a choice of alternate UHC models that have been proven workable by decades of providing better health outcomes than the US at a lower cost.  That's the world I'd want to live in anyway.
You miss the point. The point is to clearly establish who The Party elite are and who the undeserving proles are. And the Soviet model is much better than the NHS or Canada.

Who gives a shit about health care results or costs?

But religion IS false and holding back humanity and healthcare IS a human right.

I'm not going to disagree on religion. Obviously it was made by man to control the people. How many empires has god defeated? 100?

There's a difference between natural human rights (no JayDubya) and second degree human rights provided to people in a society. Like we'd all agree that people in a society have the "right" to be protected from criminals, wouldn't we? We still have to hire, train and pay cops to do it (obviously that's another can of worms in the US).

Most people in the first world have decided that health care is a right the way police protection is.  In the US, there is,  unfortunately IMO, still some disagreement on the subject, though few seem to ever have the balls to tell those who are wont to die that they should do so and decrease the surplus population.

Well said however I don't think there is any dispute on the need for affordable healthcare (except from the far right and richest of our party, which are civil distinguished mentally-challenged fellows) but people who scream "no pay for healthcare" don't understand the impact of that decision.

Yes we do, it's called intelligently rationing health care. Increasing supply will just lead to higher costs as more people want MRIs and stuff they don't really need. Or more hospitals in their area. Limiting those things and setting price controls below costs will do far more for consumers than letting doctors run off with money they didn't earn charging patients for things they don't need or want.

I'm not gonna get into an argument with you, my angry friend. But I don't believe going several thousand miles overseas to a completely different culture is an option for every talented doctor.

And yes, I am aware of the inherent conflict between trying to have the best possible thing and making it available to the broadest number of people.

Edit: The Walrus made a point much better than I could.

Medicare for all, outlaw private practice and insurance, outlaw non-Medicare payments for health services, establish a lifetime cap on medical payments. All problems solved. Let the Republicans oppose the greatest success story in policy, Medicare, and let the bodies pile up in their states if they want.

UAB is a place where those among us who can afford it go to get healthcare. It's the major leagues. If I am a top 5 doctor in my field I can make two choices.

work 40 years in the USA to make a half billion dollars

or work 5 years in the UAB and make 2 billion dollars.

I don't like it either, but pay to play isn't going anywhere. Not do I blame them for making that decision.

Go in, make your money, train your replacement, have enough money to support 10 generations of your family, come back home and open a local practice.

    When you report this PM and some politically correct twenty-something bans me, you can resume being a punk bitch on the internet. You and all the other millennial fairies.

LOL, you think you could win with nationwide medicare? Come on man. Even the most liberal among us don't want to give the government that much power over this. Right or wrong it would be political death to come out and say that.
Even the Tea Party loves Medicare. It's basically a center-right position to expand the benefits of Medicare to more people. As the far-right George W. Bush Administration showed.

The Tea party? You know what else they support right? Come on, bad example.

If you want to close hospitals, go that route. Yes your healthcare will be cheaper but your closest emergency room will be 100 miles away.

Give/Take

edit: It takes me roughly 2 hours at the BMV to get a license for my kid. (Now serving number 1,228) Do you think I want that fuckery in place if I'm taking my daughter in because she broke her arm? Nope.

Anyway I digress, nothing is going to come out of discussing this further but finger pointing and insults. It's a tough thing for everyone.

But religion IS false and holding back humanity and healthcare IS a human right.

We were but it's only a matter of time until a fellow opinionated hot head steps in and starts screaming obfuscations.

Speaking of things to outlaw, religion, especially the harshest most intolerant and violent religion of all, atheism.

Or at least tax it at 150% or something.
