Popehat non-ironically linked a Vox article today that wasn't awful.
Granted, that's because it was an interview with Michael Cannon and that man knows how to make his case. Thus I think it wasn't awful in spite of Vox's attempts to fuck it up.

Of course that was the mistake. Cannon's smart. Far smarter than her. he took each question and ran with it for the full length of the field.

Never go to NYC anymore myself, but I'm hearing there's a lot of that going on. Shops what seemed to be landmarked shuttered up. Also panhandlers very aggressive, like blocking strollers, and map stalls every 30 feet in Central Park [which is a WTF right there]
Posted by: Bigby's Mittens at November 19, 2014 12:57 PM (3ZtZW)
But having said that, I wish to point out that he worked for for
"Democratic congressional candidate Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky (PA-13) and later served as her congressional press secretary. Tapper then worked for Washington, D.C. public relations firm, Powell Tate, run by Democrat Jody Powell and Republican Sheila Tate. He also worked briefly for Handgun Control Inc. (now the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence) in 1997."
His wife "Jennifer Marie Brown" works for Planned Parenthood.
He and his wife are pretty typical of the sort of inbreeding between the Democrat Party and it's affiliates, and the National media services.

A couple of weeks ago I read an interesting article by Ben Stein alleging that the "get Nixon" movement actually originated out of the CIA. Apparently Ben Bradlee (Washington Post editor at the time who died recently) was former CIA.
Ben Stein seems convinced that it was the Lefty/Ivy League (but I repeat myself) infested CIA which instigated the whole Watergate attack on Nixon.
I don't know, but I shouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be the case.

I'll say it again: fucker isn't even liked in his own field.
Sure he has a few articles that are considered "foundational" but they're mostly accidents (and I've found some pretty glaring flaws in them.)
In fact to the extend they're "foundational" it's only because they're compact summaries that are easy to hand to a 300 level class.
They invited him once to give the plenary at the annual meeting. It did not go well. I don't think he's shown up since.
Guy writes an article about how he doesn't want to live past 70 (or whatever) but clings to his tenured appointment like a fucking life raft.

Exactly. All the supposed cost-savings in such a system must come from rationing in one form or another. The much-derided death panels will be reality. The demand on the physician supply pool will produce a decrease in the quality of doctors coming out of med school.
Didn't vote for the dominant party? I guess you don't get an MRI, you'll take a visual exam and like it. A little older? Oh well, you're not going to pay that much more in taxes or be very productive--no new knee for you!
The system we have now leaves a lot to be desired, but the ACA is a nightmare that permanently changes the relationship of citizen and state. They own our lives now--and this will become more obvious when everyone is on the exchanges or it implodes and is reborn as single payer.

I don't know, but I shouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be the case.
-
There is an out of print book, Silent Coup by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin, that makes the case that the burglary was primarily intended to solve some of John Dean's domestic problems with his slut wife. G. Gordon Liddy subscribes to that theory and broadcast it. Dean sued him but was eventually forced to drop the suit but not before Dean admitted that he not only didn't write "his" book Blind Ambition, he didn't even read it.
I was disappointed the lawsuit was dropped. I was hoping for some quality entertainment.

Apparently, if a toy acts up against him he starts screaming and kicking it across the room then back then back again then back again, etc.
And if he gets a toy some other kid wanted, he holds it over his head and runs around with it, like he's spiking the ball or whatnot. This is especially so if the other kid whines about it.

Ben Stein seems convinced that it was the Lefty/Ivy League (but I repeat myself) infested CIA which instigated the whole Watergate attack on Nixon.
I don't know, but I shouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be the case.
Posted by: D-Lamp at November 19, 2014 01:02 PM (txvbW)
To further elaborate on Ben Stein's interesting theory, he said that the Lefty/Ivy League infested CIA owed it's loyalty to Soviet Russia, and Nixon was working to open up relations to the Chinese, which at the time the Soviets regarded as a grave threat.
He suggests the order was issued from Moscow to the various soviet moles in the CIA to get Nixon, and that is what subsequently happened.
Again, it makes for a pretty good (and plausible) story, if you are inclined to believe that there is skullduggery going on in the world.

**********
Gruber already delineates a couple of plans for exaclty that.
One is "prospective reimbursement" which is disgusting if you ask me.
Basically the government at the beginning of the year pays the doctor a set amount per patient.
Say for example (as Gruber does) that a 25 year old male is worth about $1,500--the doctor gets to keep whatever he does not spend on tests for the patient, past the $1,500 the doctor assumes the risk.
Another "answer" that both Gruber and McDonough of Harvard propose is greater utilization of nurse practitioners.
McDonough brags about something he helped implement in Massachusetts where the nurse practitioner leads the team and decides when a patient sees a doctor.
As an aside--I was almost---fucked up big time when the military did this sort of thing by a nurse practitioner.
So take my word for it--not a good idea.
Resting heart rate of 138--and she prescribed something that increased my heart rate.

Of the three, one *almost* accidentally suggested basing their opposition on substance - you know, actually opposing something because it's damaging and wrong and poor policy. As I recall all three of them implicitly (or explicitly) stipulated the delusional idiocy that the "backlash" from ending "entitlements" must frame the GOP strategy, and limit it.
The most destructive and unconstitutional policy disaster in our history, opposed by solid majorities from the outset, nearly unbelievable ineptness and Soviet-style hamhanded mendacity (Gruber) in pushing it and implementing it, causing serious harm to multiples of the people it's "helping", so bad that its authors are essentially trying to prevent/delay it being implemented to avoid even more electoral damage.
And the "opposition" party's "smart" pundits can barely even conceive of actually opposing the substance of the disaster, and doing anything real about it. Oh yes, the standard "replace and repeal" nonsense - without any reason to think they people have any idea what that would really mean (re-creating a real health insurance market, massive reduction in govt. interference).
So as you're savoring the limp, pathetic non-response of the GOP to tomorrow's declaration of a strongman state to replace our republic (amnesty vomit coming from the intern), keep in mind that what you're seeing is a template, not an aberration.

No, the Dems don't get everything they want. They lost the House, they lost the Senate, Barry's the lamest duck in the pond, where his choices are tyranny or retreat. The Dems will lose the White House after the 2016 election. Republicans get "jack shit"? Well, it isn't about the "Republicans", is it? It's about the concept that the sovereignty of this country is well and truly founded in "We The People" and is not reserved for a clutch of credentialed nitwits in the Beltway.

I disagree with your thinking on this. Healthcare would be just as good and automatically cheaper if everyone didn't have and use this stuff we call insurance, but which is really more of a slush/maintenance fund for healthcare services.
It has been pointed out that various health care industries which are generally *NOT* covered by insurance are getting better and cheaper every year, the obvious example being Keratotomy eye surgery.
The problem with expensive healthcare is the fact that the market has been distorted by governmental policy which more or less created the healthcare insurance industry.
The Healthcare industry is only partially market based, rather than completely market based.

I disagree. Excellent medical care became expensive when the govenment got into the health industry. Before that, it was affordable by almost anyone with a job. And for those without jobs, they could seek out charities designed for that very thing.

Mommy told my dad that if he picked Buffalo, have a nice time living up there all by himself.

Sort of except ACA does something completely nasty--it takes money from the middle class to subsidize health care for the poor--the government then turns around and pays providers chickenshit and therefore the providers stop seeing these patients.
At the end of one of McDonough's speeches an Obama navigator hits him upside the head with the reality on the ground--
now the poor have coverage but they cannot find providers--so you can insure all these people but health care insurance does not equal access. On top of that there's about a 54 or 57 day wait time, and providers are quitting.
So the middle class is paying through the nose so that we all can feel better about the poor getting health care insurance but they are not getting good health care.

You are completely wrong about health care and costs and insurance (as others have already pointed out).
Real insurance (in any context) is a very powerful financial tool. I'd say it's one of the 3 or 4 big factors in the development of the modern, prosperous world we live. That is how important it is.
Allow (that's what it is, "allow") a real insurance market to be re-created for health care, and you'll be amazed at how costs are contained. There are literally no real-world exceptions to the rule, but for just recent and dramatic examples see airline deregulation, telecom deregulation, natural gas deregulation.
Oh - and your perspective on deportation is equally off-base. Just saying "there's no way" 5 million will be deported (or more importantly, self-deport when that becomes the rational choice) is like saying there's no way to decrease air fares and increase the number of airlines and flights, or there's no way to build a 600-ship navy. Simply, obviously wrong, and certainly not the basis for a serious approach to deadly serious issues.

So his theory, reminiscent of naziism, is that healthcare dollars shouldn't be wasted on people who don't contribute to society, such as old people and the disabled. He doesn't mention welfare people. Apparently he thinks that spitting out babies you can't support is contributing to society.

Jeezuz that reminds me--McDonough ( I'm not sure if Gruber does it) puts up a chart that shows health care exploding in costs during the 80's.
He blames Reagan--for trying to allow the free market to fix health care--something like that.
A friend of mine suggested it might be when ER's where forced to provide treatment--and that the Dems passed that law.
I have no idea--didn't research it--but I trust the guy's opinion.

1) Government interference by regulation and laws
2) "health maintenance" plans that cover non-emergency costs like checkups and dieticians. Insurance should be for emergencies and life-threatening illnesses only.
3) People go to the doctor when they have insurance when they'd stay home and take aspirin without it.
Deal with those, you reduce costs. Reduce costs and the "crisis" goes away. But no government plan implemented by the usual suspects cares a damn about costs.

Doctors, nurses, medical professionals of all stripes will opt out and go elsewhere and do something else worth their skills. (it's already happening now) The Doctors and nurses who remain will be the mediocre at best and criminally negligent at worst.

Au contraire, mon frer.
As you've seen, the gubmint revels in spending money. However, just wait until it's your health they spend money on and watch them get all fiscally responsible and shit.

We all tend to forget that this has *nothing* to do with insurance or health care. We work at *solutions* and forget that this is a Stalinesque power grab. It's like 'acknowledging' that 'something' must be done about 'Amnesty'.

This is true. I've been married to a couple of them at one time or another. Whirling dervishes, they are.

Anyone who is a Brown's fan is also a masochist.

No one could find a picture of a fat spider forcing its way in.
"Non profit does not mean that people don't make a great deal of money."
True, but only by at best skating the law if not violating it outright. Ideally and by design non profits are pretty close to the bone at all times. Of course insurers have to carry enough money to cover all their claims at once in back money, so they'd necessarily need an exemption for savings.

You are absolutely correct. It's the same thing with AGW. It's not about the climate or weather. It's about money, power, and control.
Leftists cannot abide with individual freedom. It must be eliminated.

The law is called EMTALA, Emergency Medical Treatment And Labor Act.
Don't research it. It will give you a sad when you see who signed it.

Shoot just seeing this now.
Still McDonough when he blames Reagan he does not tell the audience about that Act--he says the problem was that Reagan tried to let the free market fix health care.

But, as with everything else connected to this issue, none of the "externalities" (economist speak for, mostly, made-up problems whose solution requires govt. interference and reduction in market efficiency and freedom) would be all that difficult to cover if the 95% of the market were allowed to work rationally (real insurance, removal of gigantic tax code distortions, reduction of liability rip-off, etc.).
It's like declaring, in 1975, that the scanty air service to medium and small towns was a moral and social crisis, and "fixing it" by mandating such service and de facto nationalizing airlines and adding totheir normal red ink. Instead, deregulation unleashed an amazing growth in service that completely removed the "problem" without a bit of subsidy or interference.

I never trusted a man named Jon. That missing "H" is problematic.
The scarlet H. I had to drop it to hide my shame and herpes.
Mainly the herpes.
