re: #22 researchok

I did no such thing.

Well, then all your citations of GAO inefficiencies, what are they supposed to prove, then?

And what makes you believe government run health care has no incentives of it’s own that are not altruiistic?

I don’t believe that.

Government jobs and government pensions are a pretty big incentive. Keeping sick people on the rolls applies to them as well.

Er, no. It doesn’t. Why do you believe it does?

Hate to break it to you, but those private imaging clinics also probably get government money. And seriously, dude, now you’re just saying that, even at a private hospital, the government funding somehow corrupts it. This is getting fucking pathetic.

[quote]Sure. Both Britain and France have serious problems as well. In Britain, a mandate to reduce ER waiting time resulted in patients being kept in ambulances in the parking lot so as to reduce official waiti times in the ER.[/quote]

Hey, look, it’s the guy who was complaining about anecdotes using an anecdote! Fucking awesome.

I’m done with this. You’re being goddamn ridiculous.
