Amy Coney Barrett Supreme Court

[bUTchLookin4Dimez]

I can name way more than 10 countries that I would like to see you in permanently.

North Korea?

 

[landscapingvol]

Norway
Sweden
Finland
Netherlands
Australia
Switzerland
Germany
Japan
UK
Canada

Japan and Germany were both primarily rebuilt and modeled after the US economic system. Sweden, Finland, and the Netherlands have minuscule populations and little to no military expenditures. I have no idea why you listed the UK. It’s healthcare system is not better than the US. Australia and Canada have very good healthcare systems but again you are ignoring the fact that they have very small populations compared to their size with very little military expenditures. If you want the US to become like Western Europe then you are going to have to eliminate illegal immigration, an international military presence, capitalism, and kill off about 100 million people

I'm looking forward to the day when the US pays the "most favored nation" prices for drugs like Europe does. I expect one of two things to happen, 1. The rest of the world pays more and we pay less or 2. The rest of the world pays more and we pay less.

I have no idea what the GOP plan is. You were arguing the merits of the ACA. I am stating it is junk for over 90% of the country. Maybe it would have been simpler to have a government subsidized plan for those with pre-existing conditions, once again offer catastrophic ins, and repeal the law that requires hospitals to admit those without insurance. I do know one thing for sure, what we have now is crap. Coverages are worse, deductibles are higher, and premiums are higher. How is that a win for the people?

We keep pretending that the "preexisting condition" clause is all one evil scheme by insurors to deny sick people supposedly who because of their economic condition can't afford insurance. Some people can't afford insurance, some people actually are in between jobs and without resources, but there were also plenty of people with means who didn't want to buy insurance because they felt they would rather spend the money on other things. Insurance is a pool concept; you don't get to avoid paying into the pool and then buy insurance when your house is on fire. There were already a myriad of plans for many of those without insurance (including just showing up at the ER), and ACA didn't really do a thing but throw gas on a raging fire.

As you say, ACA is junk. It didn't do anything to address the cost side, and frankly I don't know how you address drug and supply pricing abuse in our system - obviously limiting mergers and stimulating competition would be one step, but beyond that .... The real problem is how do you now unravel the ACA mess, and I would bet the GOP keyed in on that and doesn't have a clue either.

Where is France on that list sister? I mean hey in the link you’re supporting it was number 1. Hell Switzerland was 20 and UK was lower than that.

 

[NorthDallas40]

So their criteria wasn’t the number of doctors produced but instead was based on notable accomplishments. Quality vs quantity. Which when it comes to Healthcare sounds like a rational attribute.

I found another link that says India produces the most MD’s per year around 49k. The US was around 18K

Our access is better because you will be treated and have a better chance at living.

Did you even look at your link? Do you really believe healthcare is better in Costa Rica, Dominica, Chile, Columbia and Morocco than in the US?

Based on actual metrics vs some random dude’s opinion, yes. What makes our healthcare better. I haven’t seen anything tangible than your random thoughts.

 

[OHvol40]

Insurance like every other adult in America that desires it? My wife has employer based insurance was diagnosed with sarcoma and accrued over a million dollars in care costs. There are very few medical procedures that are more expensive with the exception of extended care like a nursing home but you aren’t referring to that type of care. Was it difficult to pay at times? Yes, but very doable and she received the best care possible at MD Anderson and we don’t live in Texas so I am not sure what procedures you are referring to or what individuals cannot get insurance that choose to?

We currently have 26 million uninsured non-elderly Americans... which is actually close to a 50% improvement from pre ACA

 

[Carl Pickens]

Very rare for bipartisan agreement these days. But Collins brings us all together in shared disdain. It is a rare talent for someone to have the ability to piss off everybody, but Collins has it down to a science.

We should make a list of these types. It’d be interesting

 

[OHvol40]

Funny how their rich and elite and politicians all come to America for their healthcare....wonder why?

Well, they don’t, so...

 

[OHvol40]

Now i know much like the 2nd Amendment, or politics in general, you have no clue....no wonder they don't let you actually do anything with patients

Lol you just hate the idea because you’d have to find a new line of work.

Democrats Claim Amy Coney Barrett Confirmation Would Threaten Health Care

Democrats have pivoted to a new line of attack in Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s upcoming confirmation battle, declaring that the health of the American people, particularly those with pre-existing conditions, hangs in the balance, despite President Donald Trump vowing to protect them as part of his America First Health Plan.

Democrats Claim Amy Coney Barrett Confirmation a Threat to Health Care

Points you are missing. 1.) Trump pledged he would not nominate a Justice unless they would vote out ACA and R v W
Repealing ACA will knock 25million people off health ins.

2.). As one of His major unfulfilled campaign promises Trump has yet to introduce his health insurance plan. Trump promised there would be a substitute health care plan immediately after His election aka 3 1/2 years ago

3.). Because Trump has lied 16,000 + times some people apparently don’t take him at his word especially on health care recognizing his failure #2 above

Dems generally do except for election years.

There have been a few links posted, try reading them.

You have yet to provide one example of how the quality of our healthcare is subpar to anyone else's.

But there's a law....

Well, they don’t, so...

Their wealthy citizens sure do.

Why Canadian premier seeks health care in U.S.

Danny Williams, the premier of the Canadian province of Newfoundland, traveled to the United States earlier this month to undergo heart valve surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami.

International Patients, Seeking Cures in the States (Published 2018)

Each year, tens of thousands of seriously ill people come to the United States hoping to access our acclaimed care. While we do not have exact figures, an economist from the United States International Trade Commission estimated in a 2015 report that between 100,000 and 200,000 international patients per year make this journey. They come with cancer, heart disease and a host of other medical conditions. Most are incredibly sick and see us as their last beacon of hope.

Canadians Are One In A Million -- While Waiting For Medical Treatment

The only thing Canadian patients are "guaranteed" is a spot on a waitlist. As the Fraser report notes, in 2017, more than 173,000 patients waited for an ophthalmology procedure. Another 91,000 lined up for some form of general surgery, while more than 40,000 waited for a urology procedure.


All told, nearly 3% of Canada's population was waiting for some kind of medical care at the end of last year.

I presented a comprehensive review of all healthcare systems and subsequent ranking based on 11 criteria... but whatever you say pumpkin

MAGA! Let granny die. This is 'Murica. If you can't carry your weight, best to dig your own grave. Can't have you leachin' off me. Gotta buy my second Trump 2020 boat and some packs of Bud for tonight's boat parade.

Now you’re getting it.
