My objection, in this context, is strictly about references Isaac Send a noteboard - 30/09/2009 12:13:40 AM
when a country like mexico can figure out a way to provide coverage for its citizens who don't have it, it reflects poorly on the supposedly richest country in the world that people actively campaign *against* providing health insurance to everyone. mexico claims they will cover their uninsured by 2011; the US says "sorry, you'll just have to figure it out on your own".

yes, our overall care is infinitely better than theirs, but the point is that mexico is not exactly known for their financial stability and even *they* can figure out how to make it work.


We are both aware, I'm sure, of our fundamental idealogical differences here, and I sincerely doubt either of us could make the other budge, I posted because I consider your reference to be a bad one, I do not know if you knew that, and I do not want other people to look at it and think it is biblical truth.

Looking at the timestamp on your reply, I sincerely doubt you read the link, as ten minutes is an amazingly short time to get my message, read an eight page analysis not including citations, and reply. You cited that study, not I.

Difference is that the law is subject to more checks and balances than the whims of a CEO LadyLorraine - 29/09/2009 11:44:58 PM 540 Views

i have yet to see any evidence of malpractice insurance being a driving cost of health care moondog - 30/09/2009 05:27:34 AM 557 Views
When the malpractice insurance can cost well over $100k a year of course it effects the costs. Brian - 30/09/2009 06:21:29 AM 537 Views
it's not THAT they pay malpractice LadyLorraine - 30/09/2009 02:00:04 PM 420 Views
but doctors are *required* to buy malpractice insurance moondog - 30/09/2009 04:13:08 PM 469 Views
that's completely moot to the situation malpractice insurance causes. LadyLorraine - 30/09/2009 04:21:42 PM 436 Views

Yes, it's comforting to see that we are only rated 37th... Danu - 29/09/2009 11:14:33 PM 460 Views
That is a decade old and horribly discredited citation Isaac - 29/09/2009 11:46:51 PM 629 Views
regardless, we still spend a lot more on health care while having too many uncovered people moondog - 29/09/2009 11:56:24 PM 460 Views
My objection, in this context, is strictly about references Isaac - 30/09/2009 12:13:40 AM 467 Views
