Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: " Barocky Road ."
It is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.
Its $100.00 per scoop.
It will be presented to you in a beautiful cone, but after you pay for it, the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you at no charge.
I'm a young American and I don't want healthcare. I'm willing to risk getting hurt instead of having to pay for something I may and probably wont need. I simply don't have the money for the extra tax... Are you suggesting that I should have this tax forced on me for simply being alive? It's simple economics, you have a shortage (and there will be a shortage of doctors due to lack of incentive), you need to ration care. Government runs nothing well.
And to finish with your football analogy, it is true, referees are needed to play a game. But what happens when a referee has too much power? The game gets too hard to play and the referee chooses the winner. This is an infraction on the American dream.
The unfettered free market didn't just take a giant dump on the economy...the governments encouragement of piss poor loans and the covering of their losses is what took a giant dump on us. In other words, government interference in the free market is what fucked us all.
@xxxchaindrive i couldn't agree more. This type of argument is never covered by the liberal press. They simply attack banks and even Obama himself suggested in his state of the union address that banks will suffer because of a (surprise surprise) bad decision by the government.
Freedom? Please... Even Canada has more freedom then the U.S. They aren't afraid of "offensive language" Sarah Palin crying about the use of "Fucking retarded" What a fucking dumbass. People in the US are childish little bastards, and the only people to not know it are U.S. citizens.
Yes, that buying insurance across state lines was a conservative gimmick. The dem rep said it best when he said "the republican health care plan for the American people is too die quickly." People that are against single-payer health care just don't understand economics at all. I'm all for less government in many areas, but not when it comes to health care.
Americans are clueless idiots... how can "the greatest country in the world" be so dumb?
BTW, the title doesn't really fit in with the video. Unless Brees and Manning paid millions to have healthcare stay the way it is then it'd be a good title.
If insurance companies are allowed to cross state lines that will increase competition and theoretically lower prices.
On the other hand, if we go with the public option, this will mean that the US Govt. will now be an insurance company and seeing that the US Govt is not looking to make a profit only break even, I see a tremendeous amount of people buying into this, but what happens when health insurance costs rise. Who will pay these cost increases?
I saw this interview live, and was hoping TYT would post it.
One thing I noticed about this interview is a change in posture and tone of voice. John Boehner is the unofficial leader of the GOP, and he usually speaks with conviction and confidence, but in this interview he's lost that command, and appears to be back peddling.
There were other examples of side stepping, and non-answering in this interview, I wish TYT would have shown them.
I'm surprised it took Cenk that long to figure out why they want to be able to go across state lines, its what just about every major industry has done when State lines have been broken down they instantly move to the states with the weakest regulations and set up base there. that is why Banks and Credit Card companies are usually set up in Delaware and North Carolina
Buying across state lines with federal regulation would be a great health care system. That would be a close version to Swiss health care.
But of course republicans have no intention of setting up a decent health care program for the people. How can conservatives keep voting for these guys. Ron Paul tried to bring conservatism back to a respectable level but our educational system and corporate media are just too powerful for people with good ideas for the people to win.
cenk says hes open minded, but he sees these ridiculous paranoid conspiracies whenever we propose something he almost was smart enogh to agree with. the only reason we want people to be able to buy across state lines is to increase competition and lower prices, we want to save the american people money while maintaining there god given unalienable rights, thats from the constitution, something which the democrats have clearly never understood
Unfettered took our current economy? you might want to look into that first. It is the federal reserve that injected tons of money into the economy that created this bubble. That is regulation that did that.
And refs are needed for games, no supply and demand. if you wanted to convert football to the economy, it would be like saying everyone in the stands got to vote if someone was off sides, some would say yes, some would not, but the people have the power. Called the power of choice.
maybe I am naive, but if i buy insurance from another state, and i go into a doctor and the insurance pays, how is that bad? Why do we need "regulation" on this? Does auto insurance have this too? Like i said, i don't know, but that is something you can get out of state.
Why can't it be, if i have insurance, and I go to a doctor, the insurance foots the bill? what regulation needs to be put on?
"Why can't it be, if i have insurance, and I go to a doctor, the insurance foots the bill? what regulation needs to be put on? "
With no regulation, there is no guarantee that your insurance will actually "foot the bill". Your insurance company could easily say that whatever medical treatment you need isn't covered by your policy and there would be no way to hold them accountable without some sort of government regulation.
Which is easily tied up in court with the numerous lawyers the insurance company, unlike you, can afford. All while you die. But, sure, "free choice", it sounds sweet. Like unicorns and fairy songs.
along that same lines, couldn't you do that with anything? Can't the auto insurance companies do that too? What about when you return a product to a store, couldn't they do that also?
So if all these other areas can do it without regulations, why is medical. Also with medical, you are often treated before the bill is paid, and if the contract says it is covered, wouldn't it be the hospitals responsibility to get the money from the insurance company, like it is now.
Of course auto companies, and pharmaceutical companies and internet book deals and anyone who sells across state lines can do that. Thats an argument for not regulating how?
As for your assertion that most often you are treated before the bill; well, that may be true. And thats fine for pizza delivery. But with health insurance, "often" is a few % points short of "all the time". Just ask rape victims.
My apologizes, for any medical condition that is an emergency, you are always treated before you have to pay the bill.
And if we want to go to extreme cases, we can look at Canada in Onterio were wait times are 2-7 hours, and you cannot get basic stuff done unless you have a family doctor, which is a 5 year waiting list.
I agree, my ability to spell Ontario is lacking, but not so such on the misinformation. I was watching an independent group take in a hidden camera into a hospital in Ontario and film exactly what they said. I am talking about exactly, on film, what the hospital is saying, which was things like, "how long is the wait" to which the response was 2-7 hours.
Have you ever actually read an insurance contract? And no, there usually isn't a specification of what is and isn't covered; it's usually purposely vague so the insurance company has as much opportunity as possible to deny you coverage.
Furthermore, even if the contract was clear, I'm not sure what good that would do the consumer, as you're unlikely to know exactly what medical treatments you'll need in the future. You can't plan illness around an insurance contract.
based on insurance, and the point of it is to manage risk, wouldn't you just pick up a plan with X deductible and the rest is paid for anyway? Right now with health insurance, the one question that is never asked is "how much does it cost" because we assume it will be covered by insurance.
But I can see the need for regulation I guess. As long as it was very loose. Like patients need to pay the first 1-3k then the rest is covered.
"Right now with health insurance, the one question that is never asked is "how much does it cost" because we assume it will be covered by insurance."
But do you not see that consumers would be safe to assume this, provided there were regulations requiring insurance companies to cover all treatments, regardless of pre-existing conditions or any of the other ways insurance companies try to weasel their way out of providing coverage?
Yeah, I can see that, and it makes sense. But at the same time, without asking those questions we end up losing capitalism and thus prices rise up. So I guess I would be for regulation like that, but I think the key thing that needs to happen is the first 1-3k is paid for out of pocket. That or the first % based on taxes, so you have to pay 5% of your income before insurance covers you.
How else do you introduce capitalism into the health care system.
I think health care is one of the few industries, in a civilized society, that can't be effectively managed solely by capitalism. We're only one step above saying that only the people who pay up front and in full for their expensive surgery will be the ones operated on. I don't think the U.S. government's job is particularly to preserve capitalism in every instance. Looking at it pragmatically, the health care system would be a disaster for consumers if it was left solely to capitalism.
True, I can see that, but without capitalism, how do you value doctors? not all doctors are equal, so how do you reward doctors that spend longer periods with a patient?
In capitalism, you would be asking a doctor (at least family doctors) how good their reviews are from other patients, how much they cost, average time spent with patients, but because we do not pay, we don't ask those questions. I would be fine if emergency health care was free. And I mean real emergency, not "I was coughing".
I don't see it as an all-or-nothing situation when it comes to integrating competition and capitalism into the health care system. The plain truth is that you need regulation to maintain capitalism's efficacy in such an industry.
As for asking around about doctors, I'm not seeing how that would be affected by capitalism (or the lack of it), unless you mean doctors assigned by insurance companies. Whatever the case, I think the first priority is to make sure people can actually get treated.
the asking around is because when there is a cost to the person, capitalism type questions will start to get asked. Not all treatment is equal, and even "just get treated" doesn't work, as my wife was "just treated" 2 times before the third doctor said her appendix burst. That is right, 2 x-rays, 2 doctors, and both said nothing wrong. So there is a quality difference, but when there is no cost to the person getting treatment, we don't ask about quality. Without that, bad doctors stay in biz.
"that's what courts are for. Regulation mandates policy, courts settle disputes in contracts. "
....and it would be much more plausible, efficient, and cost-effective for consumers to just sue insurance companies in court every time they are denied coverage...
You're either being completely disingenuous, or you're very naive.
@refuckulate420 What a ridiculous response. Have fun in ur nonsensical dream world.
@ xadam2dudex My analogy of another insurance market was better than credit cards. No need for sorry. You're wrong. We should also do away with anti-trust exemptions for health insurers set up in the 40's but that's not going to happen either. Politicians are not going to offer a workable solution.
i don't understand this comparison between referees and the federal government.
When do referees in the NFL ever threaten to incarcerate those who refuse to pay for their services? When do they even get a security team to tackle an offensive line-man for a holding call and send him off to prison where he will either be raped in the ass or rape the smaller guys in the ass?
There is a slight difference between regulations when they are done voluntarily vs when they are done obligatorily.
I don't think you're getting it at all... maybe taking it too literal... ref's are there to enforce the rules, which is also a role of government (law enforcement etc)... and ofcourse there are plenty of punishment ("penalties") ref's can dish out... their just not the same as law enforcement.
Actually, it would be more like Payton Manning pulling out a Mac-10 Oozi and spraying down half of the field, thus destroying the entire game due to a lack of regulation and rule. Similarly, the bank execs threw around too many CDS's that were leveraged way too far, thus destroying the entire economy.
Do you see why my comparison is much more fitting? The global economy was almost collapsed. Manning would go to jail if he almost destroyed all football games in the world, would he not?
Unless you can prove beyond reasonable doubt that the average guy on the street holds a business degree from Wharton and a law degree from Columbia, i'll stick with him being smarter than the average! :)
@lloydreggie lol any fool can get a business degree, and if you notice his opinions on the ressesion or healthcare are always stuff you can read anywere and he passes it of as his own origional ideas lol, and the way he was so nieve about Obama not delivering on his promices (i like obama btw) anna is far smater than cenk, i would say jay is too.
Revelation's Chapter 13: Verse 3, "and I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth was amazed and followed the beast"
Obama has 7 creeds/heads (Islam, Communism etc...) of which one, Christianity, was fatally "wounded" when SATANICAL 666 was drawn and shared front pages' news with his victory headlines, thus cursing and revealing him evil
yo genius, what does nieve mean? what about promice? What about ressesion? What about anywere. You say you can read it "anywere", but something tells me you don't read too much.
@Mary77577 then why don't you be the first to fire the first shot at your own countrymen?...stupid bible thumping secessionists...i hear australia is taking your kind...
The unfettered free market didn't take a dump on our economy like Cenk says. We've had a managed market for almost 100 years. Dems & Reps have screwed us on the economy during that time. We have laws against fraud acting as ref. Unfortunately we have politicians on both sides tweeking things to allow abuse.
the criminal corporate elite have gotten themselves appointed as the refs and have gutted the rules thus there what use to be a free market is now a fraud scam market of one ponzi scam after the other.. there have been so many corporate insiders running the government u get run away corruption.. as an insider Paulson planned the bailout scam to cover the asses of his buddies
Opening health insurance across state lines is a great idea and it doesn't necessitate federal regulation. CA State auto insurance regulation has been good for consumers. Google auto insurance regulators - 3rd link - 15 years of...
States could regulate health insurance. It wouldn't matter if health insurers settled in a state biased toward them. Consumers could choose from 49 other states. That's competition we don't have now and still wouldn't have with Dem reform. Boehner is a tool though.
I hate to tell u this but u r wrong..do u have a credit card ? if u do then u might notice that they are mostly incorporated in a couple states Delaware being the main one.. they do this because of state laws which allow them to charge all manner of fees and interest rates since the courts decided that the company is subject to the laws where the company is inc ..that is why they can charge u 30% interest on ur credit card if u are late paying ur electric bill ..these companies are criminal
There needs to be federal and state limits on those interest rates. When you can get a better deal from a fucking loan shark, that's when there's a problem in the system. People can't afford that kind of shit, and there isn't enough competition to keep it in check, by itself. Government needs to step in here.
It's not like these rates are so high because of extensive risk with the transaction taking place between company and consumer; not in this scenario.
the rates are high because the government now allows the credit card issuers to charge them..like everything else the regulations have been gutted.. what use to be usury is now common practice.. the foreclosures on homes were mostly fueled by the excessive high interest rates on the adjustable mortgages which tripled or quadrupled the monthly payments which the people couldn't afford..those making the loans knew what they were doing but since they now sold the notes they didn't care
Please...state lines is a pathetic ass answer to the skyrocketing costs of health insurance, denial of coverage and other issues with insurance companies. I'm sorry but tort reform and state lines is an ignorant republican talking point and actually solves absolutely nothing in the long term.
Both tort reform and state lines is a joke...it makes it clear that republicans are pandering to corporatism..some dems do it to though not nearly as bad.
So insurance companies will continue to rape us as premiums go up and they rake in MASSIVE profits.
yep.. all political talking points to distort the truth in favor of their corporate masters ..they are protecting the $300 billion annual profit of the health insurance companies
Some idiot woman posted a comment on HuffPo and said that if any health care bill was passed, she would move out of the country. Ironically, there would be no where for her to go where she would not have health care coverage! See? This is the kind of stupidity we're dealing with.
Here's the real question to these republicans: if they felt health care was such an important issue, why didn't they take that "reform" they're currently campaigning back when they were in power for 8 in a half years ago and the 8 years that followed? It seems sovereignty is more important the extending free markets, there's your "libertarian" capitalism you feel represents you right wingers who represent you so well.
Cenk, Obama addressed this issue during the Q&A. He stated that some form of regulation must be in place to ensure that the insurance companies aren't just cherry-picking the healthiest customers while denying coverage to the sickest. If people were allowed to buy across state lines without regulations, then the insurance companies would have an even bigger pool of people to choose from to pad their customer books. Likely with the healthiest people to boot.
Correction Cenk, THE FED took a dump on are economy. Theres no free martket when the fed controls both interest rates and the money supply America hasn't had an "unfettered free market" since the 18th century. Mixed Capitalism is what e all want.
The modern Republican party is every bit as Anarchist as the punk rockers in the 80s. But the punk rockers in the 80s were so much more sensible.
They don't want any rules, they don't want any restrictions on their ability to take and take and take from people. They tout Greed as a virtue, and claim to be religious. And when it comes to the 7 Deadly Sins, Greed, Lust, Envy, and Vanity are really all the same thing.
Hey Guys, I was just wondering if you would check out my channel. My VIDEOS ARE KIND OF LIKE A MIX OF THE YOUNG TURKS AND SXEPHIL. I make videos everyday and it would really mean a lot if you just checked it out.
our politicians do not make laws that protect the citizen. even if you think its a law to protect you, you pull that shit back and look under, and its a lot of bs under there, like, US drug laws.
well if there were no refs they probably playing another sport one with better rules, then nfl would look have to either pay them more or set rules, look at boxing and wonder where all our heavyweight monsters have gone(nfl) even mma have snactch up some what could have been great entertaining boxers if they were competing across state lines they would compete against one another because people are not dumb especailly when it comes to there pocket books.
Most people are dumb. That is a statistical fact. Let me run this by you as an example. Why do you think so many people patronise large auto-isurance companies that provide the same services and policies as other companies for up to five times the price? Is it because they "are not dumb when it comes to there (thier) pocket books" ?
well its not that they are dumb, there is a lot of choices with car insurance its a matter of choice they prefer the well known company and probably can afford it. The cool thing you mention there is choice thats why alot of them are so inexpensive, and nearly anyone that drives a car can afford one.
Notice when you look at a name and the arrangement of letters remember they are not arbitrarily thrown together. In fact this is how we distinguish between each other. I hope this helps.
@bcourter82 my bad sorry for confusing with nudbil wouldnt want to do that with anyone, just when republican or demcrat get baged on that means everyone is like that, republicants and dummycrats are both the same if u ask me there is maybe a few from both sides(that wish they can get out of labels) that are truely tring to make real change, their ideals might be a little out or alot there, but hey look where we are at now.
Why can't so many people see that the Republicans (and many Democrats) have no interest in the American people. Common sense would suggest that killing reform is the absolute worst thing to do, especially after right now. We just got shown what deregulation does. People are greedy and if no one is watching they'll take and take until there's nothing left.
the politicians that support these types of ideas, filled with loopholes only large corporations can take advantage of, may not be fools at all.
simply put, they are likely working with a different goal in mind than they swore they would. rather than serve the government and its people, they serve themselves and the powers behind money, behind institutions that, while under the government, strive towards as much power and control as they can over government.
Oh they can do it them selves. Like the bankers did it themselves with the America's money? huh like that? The way they gambled with our money? gambled with companies that they had no money in if they failed.
John Boehner is making all Ohioans look stupid and that is why he wont be back at his job after November's midterms. No one likes him,he has no ideas and he doesnt or will not talk to the people who did vote for him. He doesnt support anything that Obama wants,but he is clueless about what he really wants. This George Hamilton wannabe will be tanning somewhere else,but it wont be in Washington,D.C.
I didnt vote for him and will never vote for him. I know people who did vote for him changed their mind and now will not vote for him in November,which is the change that we need in Ohio.
You're describing bad management, not excessive regulation. I agree that the Fed shouldn't be able to regulate the market like that though.
(You lose credibility when you say the FDA is more of a problem than a help. I don't want the safety of my food or drugs being managed by the market and profits, thanks.)
Probably because it is common knowledge by now that both Obama and Boehner are pwned by the lobbyists. They will never support a bill that doesn't secretly benefit a special interest group.
Except that you CAN'T research the issue by yourself unless you either are an expert in the specific field, OR rely on information on the media, which is owned by the same people who own the politicians.
That's why it's good to group up and argue what's true or false using sources. It's hard to do that without having a few dumb people pop up without any evidence and say and say shit like "everything against America is propaganda". Dumb twats like that are everywhere.
The Republicans are the biggest hypocrits in government. They are Pro-Life and yet against government regulation. How do they expect to make abortion illegal is there's no federal regulation?!?!
We need to do the same with automobiles. Every state can have their own factory and regulations, and you have to buy a car from the state you use it in.
That way people get a choice, and their state government will make sure they get a good car.
oh gawdd I hate the right and religious right so much. Especially after hearing my Nursing teacher said "obama is cutting medicare for the elderly" and everyone in the class is so blinded by religion i feel like if i speak out (atheist) ima get disown by my peers from groups projects and fail somehow.........................
Well I don't want to duke it out with a teacher who is in-charge with the nursing program at my school, and also the teacher that I'm going to have for three semesters.Trust me if it wasn't her I would put a stop to other people such as fam, friends, and students. Give more benefit of the doubt than that dude I just don't want her to hate me when I only see her once a week for class, as it is she is a bitch.
Boehner is Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than Boehner could ever be. She is also MORE MAN than he is for Boehner wears the skirt in his family while his wife wears the pants! Palin will ensure that government stays out of healthcare and will kill all reform! She will also privatize Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and all liberal government programs in order to cut all pork!
Are you really sayng that we should privatize SS, and medicare/medicaid? Just take your life savings to the casino. Easy to see why you would vote for Palin.
The tea party group aren't stupid, just massively manipulated by former republicans and special interests.
However "smart enough to figure out health care insurance rights" is something the average american does not think about in the slightest. So about 90% of the American population would not be able to know what regulations exist in their state, nevermind other states, protect them from health insurance companies.
The way Baenor answered the question allows hard right conservatives say to anyone who questions that.
"Do you think the american people are stupid?"
This for most people will get the kneejerk reaction to say know and allows them to support their claim that unregulated health insurance companies are okay because americans are "smart" enough to be informed about health care insurance regulations that they decide to sign up with.

Because it sounds logical?
What it sounds like isnt always what it is.
Insurance can just screw you over if allowed to follow only the regulations of the state they prefer.
So if a states people want to hold Insurance companies responsible to a degree, the Ins comps can bypass that.
Companies choose the ins anyway, not employees

"Why can't it be, if i have insurance, and I go to a doctor, the insurance foots the bill? what regulation needs to be put on? "
With no regulation, there is no guarantee that your insurance will actually "foot the bill". Your insurance company could easily say that whatever medical treatment you need isn't covered by your policy and there would be no way to hold them accountable without some sort of government regulation.
Just answering your question.
me213516 2 years ago
Wouldn't it be in the contract that you sign up for, disclaimers to what is and isn't covered, a contract of sorts?
bluefootedpig 2 years ago
Which is easily tied up in court with the numerous lawyers the insurance company, unlike you, can afford. All while you die. But, sure, "free choice", it sounds sweet. Like unicorns and fairy songs.
eirefrance 2 years ago
along that same lines, couldn't you do that with anything? Can't the auto insurance companies do that too? What about when you return a product to a store, couldn't they do that also?
So if all these other areas can do it without regulations, why is medical. Also with medical, you are often treated before the bill is paid, and if the contract says it is covered, wouldn't it be the hospitals responsibility to get the money from the insurance company, like it is now.
bluefootedpig 2 years ago
Of course auto companies, and pharmaceutical companies and internet book deals and anyone who sells across state lines can do that. Thats an argument for not regulating how?
As for your assertion that most often you are treated before the bill; well, that may be true. And thats fine for pizza delivery. But with health insurance, "often" is a few % points short of "all the time". Just ask rape victims.
eirefrance 2 years ago
My apologizes, for any medical condition that is an emergency, you are always treated before you have to pay the bill.
And if we want to go to extreme cases, we can look at Canada in Onterio were wait times are 2-7 hours, and you cannot get basic stuff done unless you have a family doctor, which is a 5 year waiting list.
But again, that is the extremes.
bluefootedpig 2 years ago
You are completely misinformed on the health care situation in Canada. And on how to spell Ontario.
Azure807 2 years ago
I agree, my ability to spell Ontario is lacking, but not so such on the misinformation. I was watching an independent group take in a hidden camera into a hospital in Ontario and film exactly what they said. I am talking about exactly, on film, what the hospital is saying, which was things like, "how long is the wait" to which the response was 2-7 hours.
bluefootedpig 2 years ago
Have you ever actually read an insurance contract? And no, there usually isn't a specification of what is and isn't covered; it's usually purposely vague so the insurance company has as much opportunity as possible to deny you coverage.
Furthermore, even if the contract was clear, I'm not sure what good that would do the consumer, as you're unlikely to know exactly what medical treatments you'll need in the future. You can't plan illness around an insurance contract.
me213516 2 years ago
based on insurance, and the point of it is to manage risk, wouldn't you just pick up a plan with X deductible and the rest is paid for anyway? Right now with health insurance, the one question that is never asked is "how much does it cost" because we assume it will be covered by insurance.
But I can see the need for regulation I guess. As long as it was very loose. Like patients need to pay the first 1-3k then the rest is covered.
bluefootedpig 2 years ago
"Right now with health insurance, the one question that is never asked is "how much does it cost" because we assume it will be covered by insurance."
But do you not see that consumers would be safe to assume this, provided there were regulations requiring insurance companies to cover all treatments, regardless of pre-existing conditions or any of the other ways insurance companies try to weasel their way out of providing coverage?
me213516 2 years ago
Yeah, I can see that, and it makes sense. But at the same time, without asking those questions we end up losing capitalism and thus prices rise up. So I guess I would be for regulation like that, but I think the key thing that needs to happen is the first 1-3k is paid for out of pocket. That or the first % based on taxes, so you have to pay 5% of your income before insurance covers you.
How else do you introduce capitalism into the health care system.
bluefootedpig 2 years ago
I think health care is one of the few industries, in a civilized society, that can't be effectively managed solely by capitalism. We're only one step above saying that only the people who pay up front and in full for their expensive surgery will be the ones operated on. I don't think the U.S. government's job is particularly to preserve capitalism in every instance. Looking at it pragmatically, the health care system would be a disaster for consumers if it was left solely to capitalism.
me213516 2 years ago
True, I can see that, but without capitalism, how do you value doctors? not all doctors are equal, so how do you reward doctors that spend longer periods with a patient?
In capitalism, you would be asking a doctor (at least family doctors) how good their reviews are from other patients, how much they cost, average time spent with patients, but because we do not pay, we don't ask those questions. I would be fine if emergency health care was free. And I mean real emergency, not "I was coughing".
bluefootedpig 2 years ago
I don't see it as an all-or-nothing situation when it comes to integrating competition and capitalism into the health care system. The plain truth is that you need regulation to maintain capitalism's efficacy in such an industry.
As for asking around about doctors, I'm not seeing how that would be affected by capitalism (or the lack of it), unless you mean doctors assigned by insurance companies. Whatever the case, I think the first priority is to make sure people can actually get treated.
me213516 2 years ago
the asking around is because when there is a cost to the person, capitalism type questions will start to get asked. Not all treatment is equal, and even "just get treated" doesn't work, as my wife was "just treated" 2 times before the third doctor said her appendix burst. That is right, 2 x-rays, 2 doctors, and both said nothing wrong. So there is a quality difference, but when there is no cost to the person getting treatment, we don't ask about quality. Without that, bad doctors stay in biz.

When do referees in the NFL ever threaten to incarcerate those who refuse to pay for their services? When do they even get a security team to tackle an offensive line-man for a holding call and send him off to prison where he will either be raped in the ass or rape the smaller guys in the ass?
There is a slight difference between regulations when they are done voluntarily vs when they are done obligatorily.

Opening health insurance across state lines is a great idea and it doesn't necessitate federal regulation. CA State auto insurance regulation has been good for consumers. Google auto insurance regulators - 3rd link - 15 years of...
States could regulate health insurance. It wouldn't matter if health insurers settled in a state biased toward them. Consumers could choose from 49 other states. That's competition we don't have now and still wouldn't have with Dem reform. Boehner is a tool though.

There needs to be federal and state limits on those interest rates. When you can get a better deal from a fucking loan shark, that's when there's a problem in the system. People can't afford that kind of shit, and there isn't enough competition to keep it in check, by itself. Government needs to step in here.
It's not like these rates are so high because of extensive risk with the transaction taking place between company and consumer; not in this scenario.

the rates are high because the government now allows the credit card issuers to charge them..like everything else the regulations have been gutted.. what use to be usury is now common practice.. the foreclosures on homes were mostly fueled by the excessive high interest rates on the adjustable mortgages which tripled or quadrupled the monthly payments which the people couldn't afford..those making the loans knew what they were doing but since they now sold the notes they didn't care
