***Official Political Discussion Thread***

Someone’s watching tv again:

You Gotta Block Him. He Got Too Many Typos.
 
health insurance is a relatively low margin business, the power of single payer comes from forcing hospitals and doctors to charge less


Tommy Douglas built single payer health care in Canada, with FIERCE opposition from Doctors. they went on tv in white coats telling people how bad it was gonna be.
they went on strike, it was a tough difficult political battle that really involved persuading the public.

and keeping support high despite peoples family doctors telling them they would die waiting in line to see a doctors.
The thing nobody wants to talk about is Doctors are overpaid. Point blank, it's the largest fat in the system, yes even more-so than insurance screwing the middleman.

They literally have a lobby and manage how many doctors there can be, on a yearly basis via the MCAD, no other industry to my knowledge is like this. I could be wrong.

AI can't come soon enough to general practitioner care. by the way I have seen some amazing family medicine doctors and my current one is A+. But how many people actually need to see a doctor to get an antibiotic for strep?

Calls for violence are against our forum rules.

This includes wishing for or celebrating someone’s death.

The amount of times I’ve had to reiterate this over the past twelve months is appalling.

Haven’t heard much on more restrictive gun laws in response to the killing of the United CEO.
If all you have planned for the next four years is more low effort trolling, it’s going to end with you losing access -and soon.

Got surgery and a vacation coming up, so I will really be gone gone until next year.
 


They will never stop at just erasing trans people from public life.

They want to undo decades, and in some cases, centuries of progress.


Riley Gaines greatest accomplishment is coming 5th once in a race in women’s college swimming

She could speak on something she’s familiar with, how the changes in college sports are going impact the roster sizes and even the number of programs (so opportunities for other women in college swimming)

But nah, she talking about a black woman who is way more qualified than numerous recently confirmed Supreme Court justices

If hyper-policing my posts is what you have planned for the next four years, there’s no need to wait to revoke my access. You can do it now and stop with the pretext.

For the record, as a black man in America over-policing is not new to me. You’re free to run your website however you wish, but don’t pretend that you are moderating fairly when you quote my posts with threats of revoking access and give a general warning about literal threats of violence. You’re using your authority to bully.

What?

All of the big insurance companies make profits in the billions by paying out less than they take in from premiums. Billions. Simple as that. CEO's and c-suite types all make salaries in the millions. I can guarantee you your GP making $175k isnt the problem. You'd have a slightly better case if you talked about hospital admins and those types cause that cost has gotten bad too but the doctors salary definitely isnt. And even if you cut the doctors salary, we're not paying them direct, so those savings go to admins and insurance companies. You really think these billion dollar companies are going to pass those savings on to us?

I dont know how much exposure you have with AI but its a long, long way off from being able to do something like even rudimentary medical practice. Half the time, AI will tell you the best way to clean your phone is to spray it with a garden hose. And thats what you want diagnosing your health?
 
Folks going learn real quick.. can’t say they weren’t warned



Is it possible a Fox News viewer will ask why Repubs can't find a way to fund these programs, or is grandma dying early to own the libs a new thing now?

Yea i agree as someone who has a few friends who are doctors. They make comfortable money but they aren’t wealthy like people think. And for the amount of schooling and debt they have to take on I don’t have an issue with them making as much as they do.
