Dr. Oz Suggests Schools Should Reopen Because 'Only' 2% To 3% More People Could Die

That's one way to cull the herd...

What's that oath you took? The hypocritical oath?

GOP:

Gaslight
Obstruct
Project

Confirmation in. Dr. Oz's multiple plastic surgeries, poop fixation, and throng of anti-vaccer fans have made him into a mindless money grubbing robot perfect for appearances on faux.

I think every business should reopen with the exception of schools, film making and pot stores.

I :heart; Q

You really don't want to go back to clown school, huh?

That vague 2 to 3 percent of deaths for his manufactured impatience with a stalled economy might actually change once someone he loves dies needlessly. His Hippocratic oath has been replaced with his hypocritical oath.

Pot stores to remain closed?...you bastard!

Damn right, we need to repeal any law that forces insurance to cover pre-existing conditions, repeal the tax subsidy for employer provided insurance (employer provided insurance should be taxed like any other compensation), and most of all repeal EMTALA. If you can't afford health care and you can't buy insurance because you are uninsurable with your pre-existing conditions then tough shit. Give them the free market that they want.

Interesting....so why was health care more affordable, before "insurance" came along? Was it the free market that drove up the costs?

"Its easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled" - Mark Twain

There is a good chapter about it in Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom. The tax subsidy for employer provided insurance was the big market distorter that started us down this road to massive inflation. Next on the market distorting list is that the big "insurance" schemes aren't insurance. They are prepaid health care with a bloated middle man. The consumer isn't directly involoved in transactions. Free market would absolutely make the lowest cost for health care as long as all controls are taken off.

-------------------------
...

No, public healthcare with no profit motive would be the lowest cost. There's ample evidence.

-------------------------
Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

One thing that is needed for a free market to work efficiently is that all transactions need to be fully voluntary between completely informed and consenting parties. That does tend to break down when you need truly time-critical life saving care. That asymmetry between producer and consumer can itself lead to price inflation. Then of course it ends up needing regulation to stop the formation of monopolies, especially in smaller markets. But pay-as-you-go care with insurance just purchased to cover big stuff would bring cost down a lot. It would just be unpleasant for some folks. I would make out well in the short run. That wouldnt be the case for a 30 year old type-I diabetic or if I was 20 years older. If the Trump crowd wants that then we should give it a whirl.

We all know the risking of American lives is all about keeping Trump in office.

Warning to all Trump fans, the above requires reading.

When was the time "before insurance"?

-------------------------
"I remember South Africa in the late 70's, sleeping on the beach at J-bay, smoking ganja with the blacks. On weekends we'd go to the pub in East London to drink beer and fight with the Afrikaners. They liked to fight, I liked to fight. It was a good time"

Thanks for fixing.

I'd like to know this too?
