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...
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
(except asians, they dont count)
Alternatively have it go on a record then allow people or their loved ones choose their doctors
Look I don't care what demographics the doctor checks off in the census, if my loved on is dying i want them to be the best.
True, affirmative action is a cancer at this point
I like how my phone tried to auto fill "affirmative action is great"
Oh google
You and your agendas
I've seen similar attitudes in the US regarding physicians and pharmacists
How is this much different than the rigging of results against asians in the US?
It's not. That's my point. Artificially choosing winners on criteria having nothing to do with ability is not unique to the US.
It had a purpose when we were creating a level playing field, I suppose. But the playing field is leveling out. I need to make sure anyone can win based on objective criteria and then get our thumbs off the scale.
