It’s minute one hour one day one 101 healthcare stuff

2020-02-18 21:53:35 UTC  

@BarronVon I did, pay attention

2020-02-18 21:53:36 UTC  

I’m not a healthcare economist

2020-02-18 21:53:42 UTC  

But I do know the basics, such as a private system would be more effective.

2020-02-18 21:53:50 UTC  

@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ you’re not any type of economist honey

2020-02-18 21:53:55 UTC  

You need to graduate first

2020-02-18 21:53:59 UTC  

No, you don’t know the basics

2020-02-18 21:54:01 UTC  

I didn’t say I was.

2020-02-18 21:54:07 UTC  

Talk to me when you finish your capstone

2020-02-18 21:54:09 UTC  

K.

2020-02-18 21:54:10 UTC  

But I do know economics.

2020-02-18 21:54:16 UTC  

No sweetie

2020-02-18 21:54:26 UTC  

You know some economic principles, and the names of some journals

2020-02-18 21:54:30 UTC  

lol no sweetie

2020-02-18 21:54:32 UTC  

But you need to finish your course.

2020-02-18 21:55:06 UTC  

Going back to my point, a hospital or company wouldn’t employ a half baked doctor with no degree. They check for those qualifications and verify it. Doing otherwise costs them profit.

2020-02-18 21:55:10 UTC  

will price transparency help @Sophie?

2020-02-18 21:55:29 UTC  

This is why you see occupational licensing resulting in no quality benefit, but higher prices.

2020-02-18 21:55:32 UTC  

just curious what ur thoughts are on it since u thought it was blocked and had no idea what u were talking about

2020-02-18 21:56:05 UTC  

@BarronVon maybe, in the mid-long term. It’s definitely a positive step

2020-02-18 21:56:16 UTC  

hey progress!!!!

2020-02-18 21:56:22 UTC  

trump did something good

2020-02-18 21:56:26 UTC  

I was talking about a different bill

2020-02-18 21:56:27 UTC  

we can agree

2020-02-18 21:56:32 UTC  

Well I disagree, I think Trump should focus on other ways

2020-02-18 21:56:35 UTC  

Such as deregulation.

2020-02-18 21:56:35 UTC  

But yes, I totally support it

2020-02-18 21:56:47 UTC  

Sometimes forced price transparency can *raise* prices

2020-02-18 21:56:52 UTC  

Lol

2020-02-18 21:56:54 UTC  

But hasn’t it failed Congress?

2020-02-18 21:57:14 UTC  

A different bill with that included was blocked in the senate

2020-02-18 21:57:28 UTC  

Trump separately did an EO

2020-02-18 21:57:31 UTC  

he passed with an executive order

2020-02-18 21:57:35 UTC  

he bypassed the senate

2020-02-18 21:57:48 UTC  

cuz they are rinos

> “I don’t know if you have had the misfortune of having health economists tell you about Danish cement,” said Amanda Starc, an associate professor of strategy at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern, one of several scholars who mentioned a paper with a punny name: “Government-Assisted Oligopoly Coordination? A Concrete Case.”

> Everybody loves the Danish concrete example!” said Matthew Grennan, an assistant professor of health care management at Wharton, who has studied the effects of price transparency on hospital purchases.

> The Danish government, in an effort to improve competition in the early 1990s, required manufacturers of ready-mix concrete to disclose their negotiated prices with their customers. Prices for the product then rose 15 percent to 20 percent.

2020-02-18 21:58:03 UTC

2020-02-18 21:58:24 UTC  

So it’s not a silver bullet, for once in a blue moon I hope it’s struck down by some judge in Hawaii.
