You're almost cute when you're being idiotic instead of admitting you're wrong. There are virtually no scientists or doctors saying that the vaccines protect you from contracting and spreading the virus. The CDC's own site shows that children and young adults are not at risk of a serious case...

Aren't you a random internet dude? I'm supposed to take your interpretation of studies as gospel. I don't see what you do in the studies. Anyhow, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, right? I find the claim of 3% admin costs to be extraordinary. 3% is what is claimed of...

A jibber jabbering bipolar in a watch cap and in the manic phase that needs to up his meds? So you're trying to tell me that you and/or CTists have a mental illness that you're challenged to manage?

That's bullshit and you know it. No one is delivering healthcare at 3% admin costs. if anyone is saying that, it's a gross misrepresentation. Your interpretation and words. When you start mind reading and blatantly misrepresenting my argument, then I know you've lost and are now just throwing...

No. No and no. I tried to preempt use of that bad statistic up-thread. The 3% is an artifact of the way the metric is calculated. It is a favorite ruse of those in favor of socialized medicine. The way it is is calculated is admin cost as a % of total expenditures. The problem is that Medicare...

Here is an example of American provider greed, where no insurance is involved on either side of the border. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-apr-02-me-15095-story.html American providers simply charge more.With that extra money they make more profit and hire more administration to do...

Total garbage analysis on your part. Are you saying the government has no admin/overhead? Are you saying that government doesn't drive admin and overhead on the provider side? Think about traditional Medicare directly from the govt; hospital gripe about those admin burdens too. Are you saying...

Ellis, you are a very difficult person to talk to b/c you misinterpret everything and then pretend it was the other guy's fault. I used the term MLR to make the point that it can't be insurance that is driving 34% admin costs b/c insurance is not allowed, by law, to have that level of admin...

BS. Healthy food is actually less expensive. Beans, rice, unprocessed grains and flour made from them are very cheap. Water is less expensive than high fructose containing sodas. Chicken is a lean and affordable protein that is more affordable than greasy fatty beef products. All of that is...

What an ideologue ignoramus's opinion would be is pretty much what you consistently offer. The health conditions caused by obesity are very expensive and they are chronic. In any risk pool except Medicare something like 5% of the population accounts for 50% of the total cost. Obese people with...

One more point on demographic differences in the different systems - America has an obesity epidemic. Most studies available on line attribute something like 15% of US healthcare costs as due to obesity. IMO, this figure is way too conservative. Using the robust data available to me as an...

Oh. MLR is term used only on the insurance end. It's the % of premium revenue spent on paying medical claims. As I said, by law, depending on product, insurance must spend 85% of premium on medical claims (or 80% in some circumstances).. It is not a term applied to the cost structure on the...

Ah Ellis, you're not going back to your old devious ways are you? What ratio are you talking about? Sorry, but the US delivers care for more conditions to a greater percent of its population and each condition is treated more intensely than In Canada. That means more expenditure per capita on...

I can't seem to access the full article. The synopsis is meaningless to me. It's probably yet another apples to oranges comparison. For sure, just one apples to oranges, that we don't need the article details to understand, is that in the US system there is greater utilization on the intensive...

I could give a flying f**k about your testimonial nonsense that you call evidence. Again, you're as bad as a CTist on acid. I back to ignoring children

Yes, a simpleton would think that. Fraud detection? Utilization management? Case management? Contracting and contracting based on geographic differences? All things that insurance does that saves massive amounts of money. Private insurance saves far more than it takes in profiteer costs in...

Yes. the Heritage Foundation is slanted, but who isn't these days? How about addressing the data and alleged facts they present instead of hand waving away because of the source? Are they wrong? I know a heck of a lot about healthcare delivery systems and really don't have the time or patience...

IMO, if a myth - introduced as psi-op or otherwise - doesn't resonate deeply as a spiritual potential within people's souls, then it won't gain traction.
