Topic: More HealthcarePosted: 21 September 2009 at 7:01pm |

Sorry to start another one, but the previous healthcare discussion had fallen pretty far back.
Anyway, came across this: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/22/science/22tier.html?hpw
Interesting read, if not exactly super-startling.
Reading about research is always interesting.

Doesn't really startle me. I have said all along that a lot of our problems are due to the fact that we are a bunch of lard a...es.

Not a surprise considering the US is always at the forefront of all major medical innovations.
Someone has to be the Guinea-pigs for new meds, which is why the FDA takes what, 10 years to pass a new med through? |

Article reiterates the claim that the U.S. has the highest per capita health care costs than other industrialized nations. Linus' argument is that this is due to the U.S. being at the forefront of medical innovations because of our heavy investment in research and development. PP disagrees and says that it is because we are wasteful and don't spend ourmoney as wisely as nations with socialized medicine do.
He will further argue that our overpriced healthcare system isn't as good as theirs because we are in worse health etc. etc. Unfortunately this article seems to dispute that, so perhaps he is wrong? I think we are less healthy because we are a bunch of lazy, no exercise having fat tubs of goo who eat too much bacon and fast food.
Skip to page 8 where FE jumps in and says Obamacare 5-6 hundred times in two paragraphs and quotes articles the contradict what he says and then OS says we are all a bunch of ungrateful slackers that should join the military.
PP and the others jump on him saying he only did it to avoid going to jail and than we all put our tin foil hats on and resort to name calling. Jmac than calls someone retarded and the thread gets closed.
Are we all caught up? ;)
