Amazon has started their Black Friday sales and there are some great deals to be had! As you shop this holiday season, please consider using the forum's Amazon.com link (listed in the menu as "Amazon Link") to add items to your cart and purchase them. The forum gets a small commission from every item sold.
Additionally, the forum gets a "bounty" for various offers at Amazon.com. For instance, if you sign up for a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, the forum will earn $3. Same if you buy a Prime membership for someone else as a gift! Trying out or purchasing an Audible membership will earn the forum a few bucks. And creating an Amazon Business account will send a $15 commission our way.
If you have an Amazon Echo, you need a free trial of Amazon Music!! We will earn $3 and it's free to you!
Your personal information is completely private, I only get a list of items that were ordered/shipped via the link, no names or locations or anything. This does not cost you anything extra and it helps offset the operating costs of this forum, which include our hosting fees and the yearly registration and licensing fees.

1. Point out flaw with capitalism
2. Impose wildly unrealistic government mandate on capitialism to fix flaw
3. Attribute new and even worse flaws created by government on capitalism.

Correction on Ohio...they've actually added way more to Medicaid than anticipated/projected and are running out money.
It's really a brilliant and savvy move by the people pushing this agenda.
Fortunately, I think the R House will fight the brave fight for a long time.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Yeah, they use three times the services and pay one-eighth the premium.
Eventually, a generation away, preventative WILL save money because it treats hypertension before a stroke or dialysis and diabetes before a foot is cut off and offers a colonoscopy before all the cancer spreads (etc, etc)...which are all very expensive remedies to what were easily treatable illnesses."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

Or do we not bother, go back to the old ways and just accept that cutting off feet is the way we do business? Maybe expand legailized euthanasia to deal with the undiagnosed colon cancer? (Except that Rs won't agree to that last one either)

And if that comes true, those who can afford it will buy additional insurance to avoid the lines, receive things like Kidney transplants after 55 and see the doctors they want..
A new market but you'll end up with a class system for HealthcareGrammar... The difference between feeling your nuts and feeling you're nuts.

This is more or less what my opinion was eight years ago, as a novice. All I ever really thought we needed was a new approach to preventative care, tied to controls on cost savings at local levels. No problem, right? LOL.
