CS314 - Unhealthy Numbers

Post by SuburbanFarmer » Thu Mar 16, 2017 7:30 pm

Scott Dolan, Smitty, DBTrek, and others get a nice shoutout at the opening.

Listening now, I'll post my thoughts when finished.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

I listened to it. I thought it was kind of rambling. I don't think health care issues are Dan's forte.

Has anybody ever set out a realistic projection of what it would cost to extend Medicare to the uninsured (or uninsurable)?

Well, according to Dan, it would be about half-off what we pay now..

I disagree. I mean, it wasn't particularly scripted, but he had some very clear points to make.

"You don't need access to health insurance. you need healthcare."

Every other country Dan mentioned.
(This is my summation of the podcast, not my opinion).

That's his source--straight out of K Street.
I wondered whether "health care" included cosmetic surgery, gender reassignment, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, acupuncture, psychological services, vitamins and band aids, but I could find nothing but "raw data," in the article.
It seems Dan didn't put much thought into this podcast.

It's only the most important service, other than food production.
