Could Limbaughbe more of a pig?

[dorbie 0]

It's worth remembering Ann Coulter's insightful complaint that the left likes to wheel out spokespeople into the political arena they feel are immune from criticism. When someone does criticise or respond they demagoge and vilify those on the right who would take them on and point out genuine concerns. There are no sacred cows, whether you're a 9-11 widow celebrity or a celebrity Parkinsons sufferer.

Not only do you Yanks love shmaltz in your politics you hate it when anyone dares criticise this while completely ignoring the original sin.

I love this. The only way you can go after someone like Limbaugh is to quote him out of context!!

I will sit back and enjoy the show!!

And what was out of context? He was criticizing MJF by essentially accusing MJF of allowing people to see what Parkinsons does to people, as if that's somehow an act of deception. It's like criticizing someone with a bullet wound to the skull by saying "Look! He's trying to gain pity by taking the bandage off so we can see the wound".
Rush is a loudmouthed asshole who has no sense of morality or decency and prides himself on his ability to make a living as being an asshole while lowering the level of American discourse to the lowest common denominator. Here's an example, before I heard him I don't think I would have ever said this about a person. I'm generally a compassionate guy who will help anybody but if he was starving to death I don't think I'd offer him the corn in my stool.

Both seem to be fully within context.

So far all you ahve done is come here and mock the situation. If you had anything intelligent to add, it would start with, Limbaugh is an idiot for making fun of somebody with parkinson's, however I feel that this has been taken out of context for the following reasons:

But how do you get administrators to cut back on administration?

By unifying the method of payment. While I'd like to think that a single payor system would streamline this, I doubt it will work in the US. One need only look at how top heavy public schools are to see that waste comes when administration salaries are eating into the money that should be going to the classrooms.

Medicare billing itself is a nightmare - they have people go to school for a degree in medical billing. You've got ICD,DRG, CPT, etc. These are different billing code systems - not even examples of the codes!

In 1999, health care admin costs were over $300 billion - over $1,000 for every person in the US, which accounted for 1/3 of our health care costs. Canada WAS better, with 17 percent of the health care costs devoted to overhead.

Another interesting stat: Between 1969 and 1999, the share of the U.S. health care labor force accounted for by administrative workers grew from 18.2 percent to 27.3 percent. In Canada, it grew from 16.0 percent in 1971 to 19.1 percent in 1996. (Both nations' figures exclude insurance-industry personnel.)

Here's my belief of cause and effect - Medicare was created in 1965. It took a few years to really get running. The US and Canada's administration were roughly similar before Medicare became operational. Since then, the shit's gone nuts.

In my opinion, the most efficient solution would be towards a single payment system - a move towards cash-based payments. It would relieve the load of billing and compliance, and dramatically reduce administration.

By cutting the government out of it things can improve. How about this - if there IS to be some degree of socialism in this, how about providing cash payments to the population at the beginning of the year every year?

In 2007, the federal budget for Health and Human Services is $696.063 billion. Of that, 84.1 percent is Medicar and Medicaid, or $585.39 billion. With 300 million people, that's almost $2k per person for fed health care spending.

So, what can we do? Let's give debit cards with the cash on them to everybody to buy the basic health care they need. If they want to spend it on stuff they don't need, then they can, but will then pay out of their pockets for stuff they do. Want the $300 pair of glasses instead of the $80, get em! And hope that you do not break a leg this year - it'll hit you. The visits to the dermatologist are important? Cool. Spend a grand on it, but let's hope a mole check doesn't come out positive.

Let's say $3k per year for everyone under the age of 12 to cover doctor visits, shots, etc. Kids can get sicker easier and get boo boos more often.

For teenagers through age 21, get them $1k per year, which should cover most things, i.e., physicals, mild injuries, birth control. It won't cover kids being stupid, for which the parents can get them insurance. You had them, you insure them for excess.

Between 22 and 45? Hey, you are usually the healthiest and cheapest to privately insure. Plus, they are prime working years. Pay your way or get your own insurance. Health care will cost you. And your kids are covered.

46-55? Guys get $1,000 and gals get $1,500 - more things go wrong with women that age, so let's get that working.

56-65? $2,000. You've been able to save and have assets that you can use.

After age 66? $3,000 per year. Your costs are higher.

This cuts overhead dramatically because there is so little billing overhead to deal with. People don't use all of their money in a year? Roll it over to the next year.

Private insurance Go for it! Insurance will be cheaper and easier, and there for other problems such as catastrophic illness and accidents. In a sense, all health insurance will be like an umbrella policy.

Also - emergency rooms will be authorized to charge 50% higher than the average rate for all non-ambulance visits that did not result in admission to the hospital or transfer to another hospital. This will cause patients to seek help through other practitioners and keep the ER's open for true medical emergencies.

Billing problems? Let the government have an appeals board to act as an arbiter in disputes.

The most important feature is that these cards can ONLY be used for medical purposes. The transaction costs and administative costs are cut dramatically. In a sense, it's cash pay. Everyone will have the "cash on hand" to pay "cash" for regular treatments. Everyone gets the minimum care, and people may buy more coverage through insurance. Choose to go uninsured? That's fine. You'll face the consequence if you femur in while skydiving.

It's the best solution I can think of so far. While it goes against my libertarian ideals, it's a far more pragmatic solution to lowering the transaction cost for basic care.

Once again, I listen to his show when I can. One of the main ways Rush points out the absurd is with absurdity. If you wish only to take the snippets and then make comments and accusations (such as you have here) you have proven to me that you have taken the talking points you have read and parroted them here.

You have fully proven to me have no idea of the point he was trying to make so, so be it. But I don't have to prove anything here. You (and your buddies) are the ones making the accusations.

Not to mention that Fox is misleading at best and lying at worst but, since you think his message is the true word you defend him and, as Coulter has correctly said, you consider him untouchable because he has an illness and we should be nice to him.

Fuck that!!
He threw himself into the political area to put forth his message. And you think because he has an illness he is hands off?? FUCK that too!!

From AP

reprinted on Newsmax (for you Kallend!)

"All stem cell research is legal today in Missouri. Jim Talent does not seek to criminalize it, as Michael J. Fox asserts in his television commercial. The truth is, Amendment 2 would put human cloning in the Missouri Constitution. Michael J. Fox is participating in this disinformation campaign."



Rush cited a story at National Review Online "Doc Hollywood on the Campaign Trail; What Michael J. Fox Learned While on Spin City," in which she quotes Princeton professor Robert P. George, who sits on the president's bioethics commission, who says: 'I have great sympathy for Mr. Fox and other victims of Parkinson's and similarly horrible diseases. I understand how desperately he hopes for a cure for what afflicts him and so many others. I have seen members of my own family suffer, and I too want to hasten the day when the great engine of science conquers the diseases that cause so much suffering. But the fact that Mr. Fox is a victim is not a license for him to mislead or manipulate the public.
