    I don't know what one would consider true elasticity. Some things are more sensitive to changes in price than others. I'm sure there are some healthcare services that have little or no demand elasticity to price (a diabetic is going to have to by insulin, whatever it costs). Going to the emergency room because you have a cough would probably respond strongly to changes in price.

    NY Governor Kathy Hochul was relentlessly booed at the same event.

    Are you, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party?

    @Nook why is CBP marching in downtown Chicago? Michigan Ave and surrounding areas are the safest parts of Chicago?

    Per Trump:

    I saw the breaking news over the weekend that everyone will soon be getting their MEDBED cards so we can all start taking advantage of the abilities that the Kabal has been hoarding for years??

    This is GREAT news!! Thank you Trump!!!


    Anyone have the link to register or do I just need to donate to Trumps 2028 fund first??

    Obviously, the illegals like to shop on the Magnificent Mile so it is a target-rich environment.

    September 28, 2025 - by Heather Cox Richardson


    Late last night, President Donald J. Trump shared on social media a deep fake video that appeared to be a clip from his daughter-in-law Lara Trump’s Fox News talk show My View. In the video’s split screen, Lara Trump, on the left, says: “President Donald J. Trump has announced a historic new healthcare system, the launch of America’s first MedBed hospitals and a national MedBed card for every citizen.” As she speaks, the video shows a building with the caption: “MEDBED HOSPITALS: THE NEW ERA IN HEALTHCARE.”

    Then the video shows a clip of Trump saying: “Every American will soon receive their own MedBed card.” As the video shows what looks like a futuristic hospital, complete with what appear to be podlike beds, he continues: “With it, you’ll have guaranteed access to our new hospitals led by the top doctors in the nation, equipped with the most advanced technology in the world.”

    The camera then goes back to Trump saying, “These facilities are safe”—the camera switches back to a hospital scene—“modern, and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength.” The video then switches back to Trump, who says: “This is the beginning of a new era in American healthcare.”

    Lara Trump takes over as a scene of people applauding Trump runs beside her. She says: “In this first phase, only a limited number of MedBed cards will be released. Registration details will be announced very soon.”

    MedBeds are imaginary magical beds, sort of like a tanning bed, that diagnose or cure health problems instantly and painlessly. The idea is popular in QAnon forums, and believers claim that Trump is already secretly installing the beds in hospitals.

    It is unclear why Trump posted an obviously fake video, touting an obviously fake product, although healthcare is uppermost in politics these days. The Democrats say they will not agree to the Republicans’ continuing resolution to keep the government open unless the Republicans agree to extend the premium tax credit that subsidizes health care insurance for people making between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty limit. Without that extension, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance, and healthcare premiums for everyone in the Affordable Health Care market will go up, often dramatically.

    If MedBeds were real and “every citizen” could use them, as the deep fake video suggests, no one would need to worry about losing their healthcare insurance.

    Someone took the video down from Trump’s timeline this morning.

    Go without?

    This isn't Victorian or Edwardian England where we have people dying in the streets. The correct solution would be to have nurse practitioners and perhaps one doctor at neighborhood free or low income clinics. However, even though this is fairly straight forward, it isn't doable in the modern political world in the USA.

    It is technologically amazing, the best in the world when it comes to the technology, the machinery and the training of the people administering the treatment. I have had this argument with people before - if you have cancer, or need surgery, and you have money - the US system is the best on earth. However, our system is very poor at things like preventative care, at treating things like the flu or other standard treatments. We also are poor at treating poorer people in a smart manner.

    I don't think it really matters honestly.

    There are examples of over regulation I can point out - although most of the behaviors in the field are made out of fear of lawsuits - and there are entirely too many non-treaters in the field as well.
