Real person.

Yes, this is real life, and I'm self-interested in the future of the health care market.

Not all jobs in health care have direct patient contact. Mine doesn't.


Someone whose concern is not rocking the boat wrt their salary or career is not someone whose opinion matters on this topic.

Congrats on not having direct patient contact and your latest performance review though

Donnie gleefully saying that people are going to lose their healthcare and most likely die, but THEN we will put something great together because we are awesome. Its not as though they have full control of all branches and can totally pass a law right now, first they have to wait til Obamacare explodes!

What a true leader.

Nothing wrong with working in healthcare. If you work for a health insurance provider you might seek an alternative career path. You have enough time to start planning for it now that it won't be even a mild disruption. If you wait until health insurance providers lose 95% of their business you will find it more challenging.

You seem like you're trying to get up to speed, but it's going to take some time and some effort. Maybe read the last 6 months of Dvauts posts and the ny times/wa post daily, follow some respected journalists on twitter.
Or as my Mom just posted on FB:

You guys are so mean. I like having awval here. Granted, his "we're taking our country back" on Election Day was one of the more truly disturbing things I've read. But I do appreciate his pro-Trump, non-troll perspective. Same with adios. The echo chamber gets boring, and the other Trump guys like Sushy and kypre-assh0le exist only to derail. At least awval has meaningful opinions about issues, even if they're usually wrong.

Why do you think docs et al were against the ACA? The ACA stopped fee for service payments and started demanding quality. Some docs didn't like that. Part of the ACA that IS successful is the movement from FFS payments to quality of care metrics.

If you think health care workers aren't self-interested in the future of the health care system you are delusional.

Anything that keeps private insurance payments (which pays more than Medicare, Medicaid, et al) is beneficial to the health care industrial complex.

I'd rather FIX the ACA than that abortion of the GOP plan which would just tank the market and risk a Single Payer alternative when it comes crashing down. I'd rather the ACA not fail.

The amount of new coal power being built around the world fell by nearly two-thirds last year, prompting campaigners to claim the polluting fossil fuel was in freefall.

The dramatic decline in new coal-fired units was overwhelmingly due to policy shifts in China and India and subsequent declining investment prospects, according to a report by Greenpeace, the US-based Sierra Club and research network CoalSwarm.

The report said the amount of new capacity starting construction was down 62% in 2016 on the year before, and work was frozen at more than a hundred sites in China and India. In January, China’s energy regulator halted work on a further 100 new coal-fired projects, suggesting the trend was not going away.
Coal ain't coming back, at least that's what it look like right now.

Hey I'm giving you way more slack than everybody else. Drunk or not, it's still bad.

Why would coal come back when natural gas fracking gives cheaper, more bountiful, and yes, cleaner energy.

You could let the coal companies dump their waste into the drinking water, make them pay no taxes, remove all OSHA laws, and it STILL wouldn't matter.

He tells it like it is. It's OK if you don't give me a reach-around as long as you're upfront about it.

That's not what you said though. What you said was that your primary concern wrt healthcare was yourself. Specifically things that rock the boat to jeopardize your salary/career.

i kinda think so too, but I can't get myself to write it because trump really is the emblem of everything that is wrong in the world so also just **** em
03-25-2017 , 09:24 PM
Honestly the demographic of trump voters in at least my circle, work and otherwise, consists of some of the biggest pieces of **** I know. Knowing nothin else about their politics I almost couldve guessed which way they went.

Trash mostly follow trash. You can tell a lot about a person by who they look up to. Most of trump's base seem to worship the guy.
