  3. Obamacare and hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, republicans often use the "how are you can to pay for it?" when it works to their advantage. The reality is, I'm sure you know, that congress (both sides) always finds the money (borrows, prints...

    Just like they fund everything else they don't have money for. On the back of the

  5. Obamacare and hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, that is my point. Why would we trust those evil republicans, and even the god-sent democrats, to run a cost-effective, efficient, and non-corrupt Medicare for all? As for most of everything else...

  6. Obamacare and hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I make it a rule not to discount information based solely on the source, but it's worth noting the context of AHIP, which is the lobbying group for the for-profit health insurance industry. Their job...

  8. Obamacare and hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If we are all already paying into medicare already, but only a small portion of us are using it, how is it going to be more "financially robust" and sustainable if all of us are now using it? And,...

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Interesting. I guess we can't count you among the "it's Bush's fault" crowd. By the way, awhile back in this thread I asked you how medicare would become more financially robust and sustainable if...

    I saw the video (and others) for myself, and I don't need someone else to interpret it for me. If I did, Johnathan Chait might be one of the last people that I would have do it for

    No. I was referring to the whole discussion. In fact, let me expedite this discussion and refer back to Mandate; what's the alternative? - pg.4 | allnurses My reply to your above post would be along...

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How about I save everyone the trouble, and refer them to our conversation of October, 2013. It pretty much has everything I would say, and everything you would say in rebuttal: Mandate; what's the...

  15. Obamacare and hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I must be missing something. Now, it is only providing care to the oldest and sickest, generally. But we are all paying in already. So, how is providing care for more people going to make it more...

  17. Obamacare and hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Our current single-payer system is not and never has served our whole population. I did not say that all of healthcare innovation came from the US, or that none came from other countries. However, I...

    Once again, the consumer would pay for their own physician visits, lab tests, xrays, mammograms, birth control, prescriptions, vaccinations, colonoscopy, etc. Insurance is for emergencies,cancer,etc....

    And which single-payer system has a similar demographics, geography, economy, legal system, etc. as us? Do any of those systems use any healthcare innovations that were the result of our "profit...

    I see that the redistribution of pharmco profits is part of the plan. Wow! As for the taxes, don't you think that hefty taxes on high income earners, the Tobin Tax, new taxes on property income, etc....

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As a reminder to you, I would have people pay for most of their healthcare out of a HSA. And insurance to cover the big ticket items. Please don't bother to pick that apart as you and I have gone...

    SC_RNDude replied to jva13's topic in Oncology

    I wouldn't say I'm a seasoned vet, but I have changed specialties. And, I also felt like I was starting over again. I just reminded myself that I once got through my first new-grad job on a crazy...

  23. How has Obamacare affected you and your employer?

    SC_RNDude replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nope. Hopefully she will never have to find out, but always having insurance does not = always having

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And attacking the source rather then debating the unpleasant facts is a well-known liberal strategy. The Allen West article is a summary of a study the Washington Post reported on. Whether Allen West...

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Competition? I don't think so. This is a third-party, in an arbitrarily manner, deciding what prices should be. Competition would entail the consumers themselves determining what they will pay for...
