People will complain bitterly: But I didn't know it was just a cold! I thought I had pneumonia and that's an emergency so I'm not paying.<br />Or this will happen: single welfare mom down to her last 10 bucks and her child has a fever. She chooses to buy cigarettes and stay home instead of go to the ER and pay the user fee. Kid dies of meningitis. No one is going to say "Idiot mom killed child". They'll say "User fees killed child".<br /><br />Adam Zur, that's why calling someon a Nazi is a real insult but calling them a Communist isn't. Our culture has been subtly warped to hide the extent of Communist evil.Garnel Ironheartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-24450339196782972792012-06-05T03:19:10.061-04:002012-06-05T03:19:10.061-04:00I think that there was a period in which the KGB d...I think that there was a period in which the KGB did a lot to influence America. This seems to me to be obvious. Why would courses in universities about the political basis for America have readings in Hobbes and Roseau and Hegel but not John Locke. There was a KGB agent that defected to the West and he was on the Canadian broadcast. He said that about 84% of the resources of the KGB were spent on disinformation and the attempt to radicalize and dis-stabilize the west in general and American society in particular. The KGB eventually discovered his identity and killed him. The effects of this effort from the USSR to dis -stabilize America seems to be to be bearing fruit until this very day.<br />My point is this did effect Canadian and America politics.Avraham https://www.blogger.com/profile/07822433921393627746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-21492804986906354062012-06-05T02:34:37.107-04:002012-06-05T02:34:37.107-04:00Do we have any evidence that people who obviously ...Do we have any evidence that people who obviously don't care about their own health are motivated to change by a private health care system? People don't seem to be less overweight or drink less in the United States.<br /><br />At most, I think that you could have a policy of (gasp!) user fees if a triage nurse at the ER or at Telehealth informs a patient that the matter doesn't require an ER visit and can be handled via an after-hours clinic or telephone consult or with the regular doctor the next day. A patient who still wanted to wait at the ER would be billed a modest amount (maybe $20?), which would be waived if a genuine emergency was discovered. Someone who wanted 24/7 service may choose to pay, while others would make the effort to find the best alternative.<br /><br />Another area for potential cutbacks is multiple referrals. We've encountered a few family doctors who will send a patient to several doctors in the same subspecialty, for 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinions, without informing the specialists of the other referrals.Law momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859590966207623757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-47944781910825464722012-06-04T08:38:13.088-04:002012-06-04T08:38:13.088-04:00E-man, on one hand pathology wasn't seen as th...E-man, on one hand pathology wasn't seen as the sexiest of specialties when I was in school. On the other hand, our pathology lecturers were the most relaxed and fun speakers of the bunch. From what I've seen, they're quite happy with their choice.Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttp://garnelironheart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-44394376516690120382012-06-04T08:17:09.139-04:002012-06-04T08:17:09.139-04:00First Step: promise the moon
