83% of US doctors considering quitting because of Obamacare

Nothing more than opinion in your statement of course... with no way to back it up.
Par for the course.

Looks like you just bogied.

 

[Cutlass]

Quick, Cutlass, say you find this conversation pointless! You don't have to back up anything you say if you don't feel like it!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

To be fair, since US' government more resembles an Advertising Agency than anything, the claim the private sector is in places more efficient might be correct. This becomes less so in more civilised countries.

Then again the private sector almost collasped back on 08. Not a very effcient. Restucturing eh.

 

[Azale]

Politifact says "False", cites muddled language in the questioning, poor methodology.

Or, drive it to the point of pointlessness by bickering over stupid points that are completely... pointless to the concept/idea at hand.

What is the meaning of "is"? For example...

 

[Traitorfish]

Actually, that's called "ontology", and it's a major field of philosophical inquiry.

So... what?
This is precisely what I am talking about... it gets boring, at best, so quickly.

 

[Traitorfish]

I'd say that it was "exactly" what you were talking about, rather than "precisely". Precision strictly denotes the ability of a measurement to be repeated consistently, which isn't appropriate here, while exactitude merely denotes a high degree of accuracy.

 

[peter grimes]

Quick - what's the difference between accuracy and precision?

That's the point.

I realize, folks, that the guv'mint is big and scary to you, but private companies are not providing for the needs of most people, particularly folks who aren't part of the workforce. It won't change. The free market is not going to fix it.

This is an area, like providing education to kids, where having money or not having money should not exclude you from having a basic necessity. I'm sorry but medical care and education are necessities. Particularly if we're supposedly "the greatest" country.

Most of the economy can be free, and there's no guarantee you get a flat screen television set. But seeing a doctor... this is just stupid that it's not a guarantee.

Perfect. Exactly my feelings as well.

Really, let the US government run everyone's healthcare? They cant effectively fund medicare, the VA system is an utter and complete trainwreck, and medicaid repeatedly cuts pay to doctors. I have no problem with the idea of single payer in basic principle, this isnt some sort of stereotypical conservative "WOOOO FREE MARKET WINS" thing, I just am not particularly interested in the US government attempting one due to their proven track record of utter failure.

I get what you're saying, but I think the government could do things right if we first elect good people, b) get real campaign finance reform (to keep corporate influence to a bare minimum).

God that sounds naive

Very good work there
Enjoy your weekend.

Mission Accomplished.


Koch, I genuinely wonder if I can get you to change your ways as easily as you once changed your signature.

 

[kochman]

Koch, I genuinely wonder if I can get you to change your ways as easily as you once changed your signature.

I didn't realize I'd be up before a committe for this hahahahahahaha

Good grief.

We need a commission to determine if we should even allow signature changes from now on...

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

Of course we should. How else would I change only my bold text?

 

[kochman]

Of course we should. How else would I change only my bold text?

Are you prepared to face an inquisition over said change?

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

Are you prepared to face an inquisition over said change?

Only if I don't expect it.

No, it's way funnier when people do change them like that.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Is my sig too self-centered? It has sentimental value, but I did put myself up there with Luxor the Moonprince a bit. Maybe that way too ambitious. I'm not that brave a man to stand up to the ice-fear the way he and his brat do.

 

[kochman]

Only if I don't expect it.

No one expects it!

No, it's way funnier when people do change them like that.

Still on about that? Hahahahah... wow... keep going, please. Nitpick at me for having changed my signature, in a fashion you apparently consider, too liberally.
