Re: Democratic Challengers 10: If we stop fighting Nazis, the world will die.
Originally posted by J.D. View PostThere are plenty of legitimate sites that indicate longer wait times for universal care. If Bernie can implement it with shorter wait times let him be President for life. I highly doubt it's possible.
Also it makes logical sense that if people use preventative care more often it will reduce the need for more serious procedures down the road that the greatest source for long wait times.
Does this help?
However, the data—both from other nations with universal coverage and from historic expansions of coverage within the United States—show that this is not the case. Patients in peer nations generally have similar or shorter wait times than patients in the United States for a variety of services, refuting the argument that universal coverage would necessarily result in longer wait times in the future.
This issue brief provides an overview of the factors that affect wait times, outlines evidence that suggests universal coverage need not increase wait times in the long run, and discusses policy solutions to mitigate any impact on wait times in the short run.

Only Democratic candidates face scrutiny for the things they promise, and the ways they will pay for it.
Republicans just say, "this is what we're gonna do", and.......good enough.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

Re: Democratic Challengers 10: If we stop fighting Nazis, the world will die.
One would assume that more people with less expensive coverage means more doctor visits not being put off hence more delays until the market catches up and generates more providers to handle the demand. That's not necessarily a bad thing in the big picture but rather a shift in spending and usage away from hospital visits as has been mentioned earlier. But there will be some inconvenience and its worthwhile to be upfront about that.Legally drunk???? If its "legal", what's the ------- problem?!? - George Carlin

Re: Democratic Challengers 10: If we stop fighting Nazis, the world will die.
I don't think that is party specific. Maybe that's why I am independent. To me, candidates say what it takes to get elected. Once in office those promises are not so easy to make a reality. But it worked during the campaign. More than that I simply hate the back and forth between idiots on both sides. The antiquated two party system that leads to extremes on both sides. No reason an independent candidate shouldn't have a legitimate shot to be President. Maybe that is something that can eventually change. But some people live for the bickering.

Why is it we never hear about tax cuts or major economic boom/bust cycles in bastions of tax-and-spend socialism like Denmark or Norway? Is it just because they're so small and insignificant on the global scale?

As for taxes who’s clamoring for lower rates with free health care and no wars for the population to fund???Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!
