Don't disagree on the design of the ACA, but I do like provision where folks with pre existing conditions can get insurance (me for instance)Doc Holliday said:The way healthcare works in the US and how its unlike free markets would be like you and me going to McDonalds, both ordering a Big Mac and them telling you its going to cost $20 and for me its going to cost $10 based on some bs third party. Its the same big mac and the same cost for them to make it. If all business was like this in the US, we'd collapse.J.R. said:this we agree!Doc Holliday said:Our healthcare/insurance system is the opposite of free market capitalism.boognish_bear said:2) United is being sued for making an auto-denier AI program "known by the company to have a 90% error rate, overriding determinations made by the patients' physicians that the expenses were medically necessary."

The way to fix it is to have price transparency. If anyone could go online and see the price for an MRI, surgery, medication etc...those prices would astronomically fall. But DC politicians, insurance providers and healthcare services all work together to prevent this from happening because they would lose billions and trillions in profit over time.
Healthcare insurance should solely exist for catastrophic health issues like Cancer.
Don't even get me started on how Obamacare was designed by the largest providers so they could consolidate and absorb all the marketshare.

What is behind PBM and insurance companies cost-reduction measures?
What is the profit margin of insurance companies and PBMs? How do they compare to other industries?

Michael Shermer has a good article in Skeptic comparing Mangione to Kaczinsky.
From the piece:
" I could go on and on with such examples because for at least a century and a half public intellectuals and academic scholars have been predicting the imminent collapse of Western civilization, even as the ideals and institutions that insure its success have grown: science and technology, reason and Enlightenment humanism, democracy and universal franchise, property rights and the rule of law, free enterprise and free trade, and the rights of individuals expanded to include all humans and even members of other sentient species. You would think academics and intellectualsthe very people who promote such valueswould be singing their own praises for such progress; but no, they're gloomier than ever."
Suggests that an appreciation for civilization might reduce the call for revolution and violence.
From another source's definition "The meaning of the term "humanism" has changed according to successive intellectual movements that have identified with it."
Fluid ethics, fluid worth. I should have quit reading at "humanism"
Source for your second definition?
No idea right now. I'll try to find it for you soon
Looks like it was pulled from Wikipedia.
Not sure "fluid ethics" is the takeaway from 600 years of usage in a fairly consistent way but whatever.
The wiki page uses the word "changed". I used the word "fluid".
Six versus half-dozen.
Continents are fluid.

The same crowd that made a deity out of George Floyd and praised the two would be Trump assassins are now cheering Luigi, a cold blooded murderer.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?
Turns out that Mangione was never a client of United Health. Just now on Fox

Luigi got a successful back surgery that solved his pain and which was covered by insurance, then killed the CEO of a different insurance company. I really think he just lost his mind. pic.twitter.com/N6ikuC2pMg

The defense attorney that the dude hired is the only real winner here. She will make tons of money from an Ivy League limo liberal family, and all she can really do is work with the prosecutors on a plea deal. At the end of the day, the lawyers will be six or seven figures richer, the United healthcare CEO's family will grow up without their husband/father, and Mr. Luigi is going to have to get used to living in a 5 x 10 cell for the rest of his life with "Big Papa" who views him as the next closest thing to a hot date. Sad all around
