The DNC and RNC believe in nothing, change my mind

[Cubo de Sangre]

I think that in the healthcare sector, the private sector is elevated unreasonably.

Must be government interference somehow causing this epidemic.

Analyzing medical death rate data over an eight-year period, Johns Hopkins patient safety experts have calculated that more than 250,000 deaths per year are due to medical error in the U.S. Their figure, published May 3 in The BMJ, surpasses the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's third leading cause of death—respiratory disease, which kills close to 150,000 people per year.

I don’t blame the admin. I blame politicians and government ineptness. Of course the private sector isn’t perfect either, but anything the government gets its greedy claws into, will certainly be worse. There is too much red tape and it will end up being a political pawn.

It's the same politicians and government that is creating the problems in the private sector. That's why I discussed residency issue. Congress has not funded new residencies in over 20 years, creating a physician shortage since the population has grown tremendously over that time. It has led to longer wait times and other issues.

People claim the VA has wait issue but it's because they have a doctor shortage and they have a doctor shortage because the country has a doctor shortage.

The private sector has not solved that problem. They have not made it better. They aren't trying to make it better because they don't want more doctors. The private sector doesn't care about wait times because expanding supply would increase price competition (see what happened in the law) and lower doctor income.

I just disagree that the private sector is outperforming the VA or that private insurance is outperforming Medicare when it comes to providing healthcare to their populations. The private sector is making more money than the VA, that's true. But if vets had to go to the private sector for insurance and ALL of their medical care, it would be financially ruinous. I can't see that as a superior system.

Right. So get the government intervention out of it and let the doctors run their practices.

You mean get the government out of medical schools and funding residencies? And overseeing physician qualifications? And licensing?

Get the government out of medicare, medicaid and the VA?

All of it?

Doctors have to be qualified, but the government shouldn’t have that responsibility.

Government should be responsible for taking care of the elderly and people unable to care for themselves. Being poor doesn’t qualify as unable to care for yourself. I support welfare as a temporary solution, but no able bodied adult should be able to make a living on welfare. There should be deadlines, and if you are on government assistance, you should be subject to any scrutiny the government sees fit.

I’ll pay taxes to support the people unable to care for themselves. I am not willing to use my hard earned money to support deadbeats.

The government should take care of veterans. They deserve first priority.

Who should have the responsibility of determining if doctors are qualified to treat the elderly people receiving government assistance for their medical bills? The qualifications for the doctors treating the veterans?

Do children count as people unable to care for themselves? And if "yes", how are you going to determine which kids deserve help and which ones don't?

I think both parties are hung up on a power struggle against one another, and that’s their number one goal, to compete and win. So much so that it has clouded individual party members judgements to a degree.

The RNC, and DNC believe in nothing but their own money and power.

Discuss.......

Unfortunately, there's nothing here to discuss, nor do I wish to change anyone's mind about the sky being blue and the ocean being wet.

Perhaps a board of doctors or former doctors.

Children do count. If their deadbeat parents can’t take care of them, they should be placed with someone who can.

Throwing free money and/or supplies at people doesn’t fix the problem, it just perpetuates it.

That’s the main reason socialism won’t work. It requires the best in people to do what’s right for the heard. The vast majority of people are going to do what’s best for them.

Able bodied adults who are on government assistance shouldn’t be comfortable. Their goal should be to get off of it.

Democrats don't believe in economic justice.

Republicans don't believe in a free market.

Democrats believe in economic justice for corporations who don't donate and support the party. If you want tougher regulation, or just to have existing regulation actually be enforced, you better hope the corporation in question supports the RNC, and Republicans. Economic justice isn't for corporations who support the DNC and Democrats.

Republicans believe in the free market for corporations that support the Republican party. If you don't, like Amazon, or Google, or YouTube, y'all become fucking marxists.

The RNC, and DNC believe in nothing but their own money and power.

They believe in almighty dollar bill. They'll suck every cock under the sun, irrespective of political, religious, or any other conviction for dat $
