@Austrian Do you ever NOT talk about proving political and philosophical points? I've never seen you comment on the fun/pointless questions. You're always serious and to the point. Come on…comment on something. "Why so serious?!" And why are you always up until 4 am?!

My point is that there is nothing to connect the for-profit model to high costs or low efficiency. That's too simple of an assessment. There is a logical link between government involvement and higher costs in the US. This is from 1993 and is even more relevant today: tinyurl.com/ct6szy

Good night RJ the mad scientist. Night Austrian (or good morning…)

Jk

@RJ's wife…MY NAME IS SARAH!! I'm
21 :)

gotta go folks! have a good Monday!

uh oh. I'm busted! wife just walked in and wants to know why I'm on the iPad still

never baby chickens. if it's poultry I like full grown chickens

what you are saying isn't reality...it's theory.

Austrian...again, you are repeating talking points that ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THE DATA! you are going to have to come to terms, at some point, that

That's right…once you take science out of it I can handle my own turf. This is after all a 14 year olds area of expertise. Although Austrian doesn't seem like the street smart type…

lol RJ. I'll stick with women.

@RJ Ya chicks…BABY CHICKENS!!!

It isn't the for-profit aspect that is the deciding factor. We have actually made our health care more expensive by having all the regulations we have instead of just having a free market. A non-for-profit system gives no incentive to innovate, give choice, serve effectively, or not be like Canada.

Tip 100: answer you on the latest SoH poll question.

or dudes if you're into that kind of thing.

molecular biologists get chicks!

@Austrian tip #2-99: REREAD TIP #1

our for-profit system stinks and is expensive. not-for-profit systems are better.

Austrian...again, you have to rectify that position with the facts. the reality is the exact opposite of what you are saying is the case.

@RJ YES I CAN!! Good ones too Most important tip: NEVER BECOME A MOLECULAR BIOLOGIST…EVER!!!!

no delta waves, and eventually you go crazy! watch what happens to speed freaks when they stay up for 4 or 5 days...they go crazy...hallucinate and stuff

delat-wave...a frequency of brain waves...alpha, beta, delta. it's in delta you go into REM

Anyway, the government involvement is precisely what drives up the costs of healthcare. That's our problem. As it is now, people have no incentive to take care of themselves because their employer or the government say they will take responsibility for them.

veritas can give you some pointers

the only problem is getting a girl.

you should have kids, Austrian. take good care of them.

@Austrian No, please dont.

Delta-what?!

I better not have any children, then, should I, RJ?

REM, only during delta-wave sleep

they just give their babies a better chance to live

people in slots 1 - 36 also have freedoms too

Ha!!!! Take that!

Austrian...trust me....when you have a baby, you won't be worried about the concept of freedom. you're only going to care about that baby and the quality of care available.

Happens when you are dreaming.

Rapid Eye Movement!!! BOOM!!!

dream of a gov that works.

veritas....go to bed. Get some REM sleep...it help transfer short-term into long-term memories.

37th! that's freakin' ridiculous"

regardless...if we are 37th in infant mortality....I don't want to hear any dumbass politician tell me he's pro-life.

There aren't statistics on something which has never been tried. Most of the policy suggestions from that article are completely paternalistic and violate people's freedom.

then we're back to the topic of standard of lving. and again, my point is that the evil 'socialist' word has some serious merits to it.

profit is great...for somethings. for healthcare, it isn't.

Austrian, the data clearly shows that the opposite of what your suggesting works better.

As for the mortality and life expectancy statistics, many more things factor into those then just health care.

DAMN IT!!!! ARE YOU GONNA KEEP
SOING THIS TO ME?!?! Rat bites…how could I forget!!!!!!?!? It attacks your realigned system so i thought…YOU SUCK!!!! ;(
