life expectancy aside, this is what concerns me most with the american system

2019-07-23 19:22:19 UTC  

"A new study from academic researchers found that 66.5 percent of all bankruptcies were tied to medical issues β€”either because of high costs for care or time out of work. An estimated 530,000 families turn to bankruptcy each year because of medical issues and bills, the research found."

of course when anything is nationalized it loses efficiency and i wouldnt say the canadian system should be the gold standard or anything but theres surely a happy medium id be content with

2019-07-23 19:23:09 UTC  

some sort of optimization

2019-07-23 19:23:38 UTC  

the american style system will always be most efficient, but it has less of a net impact on the overall health of the population and has detrimental consequences for joe average's pocket

2019-07-24 01:04:17 UTC  

Now could there be a medical Reformation, yes, but universal healthcare is not the way to go, but I do wish we’d find an optimization

2019-07-24 01:05:28 UTC  

Because that statistic terrifies me more then Islamic immigration

2019-07-24 01:05:38 UTC  
2019-07-24 01:06:13 UTC  

But I feel if we can turn the tide to a new way, that makes that statistic a minority and not a majority, I will be happy

2019-07-24 01:06:34 UTC  

A low maybe 30 to 20 percent minority would be my goal

In my personal opinion, the probpem with the British NHS is the way it's run

It is not a matter of not enough money

It is a matter of bad management

Deals with companies which lead to the NHS paying 10 times more than a private company for things like allergy pills and shit

2019-07-24 12:42:21 UTC  

@Deleted User yeah that sounds more reasonable

2019-07-24 12:43:08 UTC  

thats how i feel about the canadian system too (im canadian) but thats the problem youre probably always going to have with nationalized industry

2019-07-24 12:43:15 UTC  

like i said it loses efficiency

2019-07-24 14:20:47 UTC  

NHS is incredibly badly run and probably will never get in proper shape unless it’s semi privatised

@beyond_gravity TFL style?

2019-07-24 14:52:45 UTC  

Yes sir

As long as there's good Air Con, it's 100% better

The fucking buses and tubes are boiling

What do you all think about the growing role of geoeconomics and how the US mostly refuses to use or even consider it?

2019-07-25 02:29:34 UTC  

not an argument

2019-07-25 02:29:37 UTC  

it does not grow fast enough

2019-07-25 02:29:41 UTC  

nor does it present an evident danger

2019-07-25 02:33:06 UTC  

Why not? China and Russia for example extend their financial arms more often than their military ones.

2019-07-25 02:33:48 UTC  

China's navy is... lackluster to say the least but the US still considers it a major threat does it not?

2019-07-25 02:36:59 UTC  

No?

2019-07-25 02:37:16 UTC  

They consider China a threat because of its threat to trade partners

2019-07-25 02:37:53 UTC  

South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Philipiness, Taiwan.

2019-07-25 02:38:07 UTC  

China has been fairly self-sufficient

2019-07-25 02:38:26 UTC  

As well

2019-07-25 02:38:33 UTC  

China doesnt preach globalism

2019-07-25 02:38:35 UTC  

It has no need

2019-07-25 02:38:39 UTC  

It preach sinoism instead

2019-07-25 02:39:50 UTC  

What about the one belt one road?

2019-07-25 02:39:50 UTC  

GG @Fane, you just advanced to level 1!

2019-07-25 02:40:09 UTC  

doesnt preach globalism? what the fuck do you think the belt and road initiative is?
