Oklahoma Doctors (Free Market Medicine) vs. Obamacare

Sure, What could possibly go wrong?

Why do you continually wade in just to embarrass due to your underlyling information deficit ritzy?

Grown ups been thinking about these problems for decades, you're in the youtube phase of research - who do you think has a more grounded view? I'll hang up and listen, thx.

 

Actually Sam...........he did post a story about people who are DOING something.............not writing about something.

 

So if rtsy posts a youtube video of him smacking himself in the groin with a tire iron, as he is wont to do for fun, and I post "hey idiot, that's gonna hurt" - he's got the upper hand by kinetic virtue.

That sound you heard btw was the Arrow whoooshing over your head...

 

Well...........you surely won this round.

 

How exactly is this a good system?

They list prices - of course, those prices don't include all sorts of things from diagnostics to complications. And their procedures are outside the price range of most people.

An ACL, for example, costs $7000 - not including the MRIs and other pre-op stuff or any of the post-op stuff. And you have to pay it all in advance. And, of course, this setup is completely unhelpful in the case of an emergency like a car wreck or a sudden or long-term issue like cancer.

In what world is this better than insurance?

 

What an idiotic idea.

Of course the OP is wrong, since Obamacare doesn't take over health care.

 

The problem with even physicians trying to do things outside the matrix in healthcare is that because its government and insurance money, even the equipment has excruciatingly high margins.

Or the re-fill the X-ray machines, or the medical equipment etc. all has inflated costs as there is a lack of efficiency in the system combined with a majority of physicians offices being underperforming and inefficient small businesses.

I think the best things happening in medicine nowadays are the mini-clinic's at Wal-Mart and Walgreens which are bringing the scalable efficiency in healthcare management.

Translation, realjad is scared of real economics

I hereby invite you to come at me. Brother.

 

I think rtsy is more the libertarian version of Basso.

PROFIT!

If we had anybody who posted everything they saw on thinkprogress it'd get pretty damn old after a while, too.

 

Ahhhh so it's a profit deal.



Got it, so 15 years ago they became disenchanted with Obamacare and have now put in place a system that they think is better. Thanks for clearing that up.

Fool the guesser, win some crap!

 

I pay my dentist in 2 kilogram bricks of chocolate. We use the barter system.

 

It isn't better than insurance and it does not really address the issue of cost and the amount of people in thie country that have inadequate health care.

Then again that is not the OP's point, all he wants to do is complain.

 

The funny thing is that if you removed the OP's intended bias from it, it almost sounds like he's making an argument for a single-payer healthcare system.

 

I didn't see it that way. I'm not sure if he's advocating anything at all as he only has one sentence of his own, but it sounds more too me like he's advocating self insurance. I would think that in the realm of healthcare, that would only be feasible for people who are both very wealthy and very foolish.

What bothers me is that there is something wrong with out current system that provides the economic feasibility that allows this company to even exist......and apparently profit for almost 15 years. I don't see how Obamacare addresses the root cause of the problem that allows a company such as this to exist. I guess the argument is that healthcare costs could come down if everyone receiving healthcare is insured. But someone has to absorb the costs of making sure everyone is insured. Seems like we're just pushing dollars around (instead of paying higher premiums, we pay more for goods and services from smaller mid-size business owners and business owners who haven't historically provided health coverage to employees) without addressing the inefficiencies in the system. We'll still have uninsured people, just not as many, but we'll pay higher prices elsewhere. Oh well.......I guess that's the main goal. It isn't really a problem if you can't see it.
