Epstein is a distraction.
If you want a real conspiracy, look up the nomination of Stephen Parente and how it was silenced.
1/5th of the U.S. economy is healthcare.
Follow the $$$
Assistant Secretary of HHS for Policy
No hearings. No votes. No articles on his book proposing reform.
No discussion of his book.
Except one AEI symposium where they called him "He Who Must Not Be Named"
The video is about the book.
The book isn't bad. It is dangerous to the Swamp.
The recommendations would end the largest tax expenditure in the budget.
Again, follow the $$$
I am saying that Trump nominated Stephen Parente to be in charge of healthcare policy.
He had written a book on how to fix the system.
No hearings. No vote. No discussion of his book anywere.
Not by the Republicans and not by the Democrats.
Yes.
They usually have committee hearings.
Senate confirmation.
Nope. No vote.
There is supposed to be a vote.
He was nominated.
There is not going to be a vote.
LOL. Why don't you actually check instead of guessing.
There is not going to be a vote.
Not for Assistant Secretaries.
No.
Nope. Each department has a particular committee.
If it ever gets out of committee, yes. This will not get out of committee. If it were going to, it would have already.
No. It is nowhere.
Our news does not discuss the important things. Like 1/5th of the economy. It just discusses juicy stories about individuals. How many people did Epstein rape? How many people does the healthcare industry rape?
I am saying that the news discusses stories like Epstein instead of discussing the important things, like healthcare policy. Everyone knows Epstein's name and history. Who knows about Stephen Parente? Which is actually important to your life?
All the events the news discusses are distractions from important discussions. There is no "news event" here. There is no dateline. Just a non-event.
What happened to your backlog?
You said there is a backlog. That is why Parente didn't get a vote, right?
What assumption?
All I said was that he was nominated and didn't get a vote.
He was nominated in 2017.
He didn't get a vote.
And you are just going to speculate.
You could watch that 2 hour YouTube video. At least the first 5 minutes of it. But you are too busy digging into the irrelevant life and death of Epstein.
No reason whatsoever. 1/5th of the U.S. economy, your healthcare system is not important.
Yes. It is. That is why I watch videos and read books. About the important things.
To control 1/5th of the economy. To maintain the largest tax expenditure in the budget. To maintain 50% of the federal budget being spent on healthcare.
May be 40%. I forget the exact amount.
I am including Medicare and Medicaid, yes.
Hmmm. Government taking money from some people and putting it in the pockets of other people. Nope, can't see why the Swamp would care about that.
I am advocating for the policies described in that book by Phelps and Parente, which would seriously reduce the amount of money we spend on healthcare. Which is why Parente could not become the most important policy person re health in the Trump Administration.
Ok.
If Parente's ideas were good, the Republicans would have talked about it. If his ideas were bad, the Democrats would talk about them. But since they are dangerous to the swamp, nobody talks about them.
Not one article on the book written by Trump's nominee to be the head of policy.
No hearings. No vote.
Everyone has heard of "Medicare for All" and "single payer." Not one word about what Phelps calls a "shameful" transfer of money from the poor to the rich. The socialists don't care!
The wealth transfer is the tax expenditure for employer healthcare. Phelps and Parente provide the details, including in that video. I'm sorry if I cannot explain it better than two of the most prominent professors of healthcare economics in the U.S. I didn't say "you're dumb/ignorant." I said this is important information about public policy.
I'm sorry. Not everything fits in 140 characters. Especially things that the Swamp doesn't want us to talk about. Em.ployer provided health insurance is the largest tax expenditure in the budget
When you talk about things that are not in the public view, nobody knows the ABCs. That is by design.
The words "tax expenditure" aren't even something most people have heard.
They are exempt from federal income taxes. That is called a tax expenditure. It is a trick to hide subsidies. Instead of handing people money, you make something they buy anyway tax deductible. That is the same thing as handing them cash.
Okay, so Professor Phelps knows nothing about economics. Glad you understand economics better than he does.
Silly AEI, having him speak about something some fool on the Internet can't explain better than he does.
What argument? All I am arguing is that we should pay attention to important things. How is that something that needs to be argued?
"Let's spend time listening to experts about the largest parts of our budget." What is your counterargument to that?
Bingo! It is an idiocracy... At least it feels like it at times.
We listen to the people who are most entertaining, not most knowledgeable.
Wouldn't it be nice if a single newspaper in this country reviewed a book on healthcare policy by Trump's nominee to head healthcare policy? I would then be able to point you to that review instead of having to try to explain it to you.
But, we'll listen to a bunch of idiots "debating" "healthcare" "policy" on TV...
You don't feel it is worthwhile why?
You never heard of it
?
Well, I am sure that will fix it.
Let me know how that works out for you when Kamala Harris bans all private health insurance.
If you say so.
So did Obamacare happen or not?
You sound like gun control people talking about how great it will be when we ban guns and suddenly will live in a world without guns. Because unconstitutional things never happen.
LIability insurance for intentional torts is illegal in many states...
"We"
I am advocating that we pay attention to the book written by Stephen Parente, first and foremost because the fact nobody talked about his ideas is suspicious.
"we" again. You said you were not convinced. I thought you bowed out of this conversation.
I didn't say you should read it. I said I think people should listen to that two hour presentation. I watched it and I think he talks about important things that people should discuss.
Actually, I have. But I read books about insurance. Very few people do.
That is a video from the AEI about a book written by a nominee for Assistant Secretary of HHS. How is that different from discussions on the shape of the planet? Okay. You convinced me. I am wrong.
@uncephalized I am not arguing you should read the book. I have said that several times already.
My video and my book. LOL
I get clicks when people go to an AEI video. I am the AEI
I'm done. Have fun.
The really absurd thing about clown world is that you get accused of ALL the things at once. HONK HONK
Please uncephalized, tell me. Did Big T not say that nobody is accusing me of trying to get clicks at the exact same time Putz was accusing me of trying to make money by clickwhoring? Did I dream that?
