I'm still unemployed though, I have to fix that

do you get benefits until you find work

nope

I'm against that anyway, so I wouldn't take them even if it was a thing

nice

its sad how breakdown of the family in the west

only pushes it further towards a bigger welfare state

in asian countries, life's setbacks can be absorbed by the family

but will be interesting to see if that remains

I shocked an Aunt with this but "I oppose welfare because it is the state formalizing and instutionalizing the break down of the family, community in their commitment to take care of each other."

in asia, family based savings is a huge market
served by multiple financial companies

to be used in times of emergencies including health

in the west, its a huge clusterfuck with the whole nationalized health insurance

I was in the Army. I use a cane because of State managed health care

and ppl are again and again coming up with the same solutions like - nationalized education, nationalized healthcare

basically renaming it to - free education and free healthcare

sad shit really

I'm kinda glad that we had to make do with market solutions because our governments couldn't come up with even bad solutions

Swiss have free college, but only for what the state says you can handle based on grades and if you fail you have to pay the state back

nice

Swiss seems to have figured many things out

but their solutions might not necessarily scale

Here is your free college options* (based on grades and Department of Labor needed jobs projections)

I still think that govt paid education is exactly the wrong way to deal with college debt

increase in administrators and other kind of fat is what is increasing tuition fees

if govt swoops in and pays for it

there's no incentive to curb that

inefficiency

similar case for healthcare

no incentive to cut down on waste and thereby cost by competing for customers directly

if govt pays for it all

There are a few studies out where they found the cheepest sector of health care was elective plastic surgery. Because it is a "Vanity" and not covered by Insurance that area has been working to reduce prices and increase market viability as opposed to HMO health care

Any ideas what could help curb the fat cost of american health services? Last i heard about 60% of the cost of medical goes to payn lawsuits and administration

That has been so hotly debated...

There needs to be less liability for failed operations

Kick doctors out that fail

Americans can lose weight

But don't offload the cost of failure on people who needhelp

Well lets be honest, do you want the Minority Representation doctor to do your life saving surgery or the best doctor in (County, State/provice, Country)?

The medschool acceptance rates for minorites are insane
