inefficiency

2018-12-24 20:46:55 UTC  

similar case for healthcare

2018-12-24 20:47:32 UTC  

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

2018-12-24 20:47:37 UTC  

if govt pays for it all

2018-12-24 20:54:23 UTC  

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

2018-12-24 21:32:45 UTC  

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

2018-12-24 21:48:04 UTC  

That has been so hotly debated...

2018-12-24 22:05:40 UTC  

There needs to be less liability for failed operations

2018-12-24 22:05:55 UTC  

Kick doctors out that fail

2018-12-24 22:06:01 UTC  

Americans can lose weight

2018-12-24 22:06:13 UTC  

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

2018-12-24 22:07:28 UTC  

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)?

2018-12-24 22:08:25 UTC  

The medschool acceptance rates for minorites are insane

2018-12-24 22:08:33 UTC  

(except asians, they dont count)

2018-12-24 22:08:39 UTC  

Alternatively have it go on a record then allow people or their loved ones choose their doctors

2018-12-24 22:10:45 UTC  

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.

2018-12-24 22:14:49 UTC  

True, affirmative action is a cancer at this point

2018-12-24 22:15:12 UTC  

I like how my phone tried to auto fill "affirmative action is great"

2018-12-24 22:15:22 UTC  

Oh google

2018-12-24 22:15:29 UTC  

You and your agendas

2018-12-24 22:18:59 UTC  

I've seen similar attitudes in the US regarding physicians and pharmacists

2018-12-24 22:22:30 UTC  

How is this much different than the rigging of results against asians in the US?

2018-12-24 22:23:38 UTC  

It's not. That's my point. Artificially choosing winners on criteria having nothing to do with ability is not unique to the US.

2018-12-24 22:24:31 UTC  

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.

2018-12-24 22:25:46 UTC  

One of the best explinations of what is wrong with the US comes from Charles Barkley of all people.

2018-12-24 22:28:52 UTC  

Charles Barkley is actually quite wise. I've been impressed many times with his insight.

2018-12-24 22:32:48 UTC  

fuck barkley

2018-12-24 22:33:20 UTC  

There are only five real jobs, Soldiers, Teachers, Doctors, Firemen and police, if you aren't one of those you aren't that important... or something like that

2018-12-24 22:33:34 UTC  

and fuck diversity

2018-12-24 22:34:31 UTC  

Engineers?

2018-12-24 22:34:49 UTC  

Engineers are pretty important these days

2018-12-24 22:35:09 UTC  

The fact that as a sports star he flat out wrote off his carreer as not important speaks volume about his integrety and humility

2018-12-24 22:35:30 UTC

Billions would not be able to go on living without them

2018-12-24 22:36:00 UTC
