  1. It is true. That is what M4A does.
    3
  2. He doesn't. Amenable mortality is an issue every nation faces. This is a problem I have with the far left. While I doubt M4A will be the best system, I am willing to accept the possibility it is. But the far left, like Kyle, are pushing it with nothing more then talking points. Healthcare is very complex and there are very difficult discussions to have that the far left is not willing to say. That, and they exaggerate the numbers big time.

  3.  Atheos B. Sapien  , as we lead the world in R&D for a reason.
    1
  4.  @caimacd  , shows how the far left acts. Instead of giving a rebuttal they just mock.
    1
  5.  @caimacd  , and I take that as a victory.
    1
  6.  @caimacd  just remember you have no rebuttal
    1
  7.  Atheos B. Sapien  that is not true. I have an NIH grant. Most of that research goes nowhere. The private sector is where the real development is at
    1
  8.  Atheos B. Sapien  i am on meds. How liberal of you to make such a comment
    1
  9.  Atheos B. Sapien  mental health is a stigma many live with. Congrats. You are contributing to that. I bet you support suicide
    1
  10.  Atheos B. Sapien  i am an asshole for bringing up counter points with evidence?
    1
  11.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  still waiting for a rebuttal. Again. You mocking me shows who is winning. I beaten you to submission so much that you have nothing legit to say anymore
    1
  12.  Atheos B. Sapien  so no rebuttal i see
    1
  13.  Atheos B. Sapien  you laugh at the thought of people killing themselves
    1
  14.  Atheos B. Sapien  , when you ridicule someone for having a mental disorder. You do know there are several people with a mental disorder who are very intelligent and successful? But you just mock them. So the obvious conclusion is that you mock suicidal people and laugh at them when they do commit suicide.
    1
  15.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , you are a flat earther. You admitted it earlier.
    1
  16.  Atheos B. Sapien  , no, it is that I understand that mental disorder is a stigma our society creates and you are not doing anyone any favors but saying what you do. You assume that I am inferior because of a mental disorder. Instead of trying to engage in an intelligent conversation you just dismiss me as you feel I am inferior for something that is essentially beyond my control. I come here to give counter viewpoints, with supporting evidence, on these issues. I come here because I feel the far left is a problem in our society as they push ideas with incomplete information and are not willing to have the full, difficult conversations on the issues. And as for the punching argument, thanks for showing how violent the far left is. When pushed you just resort to name calling and violence.
    1
  17.  @astromaniac360  , I agree. It shows I am winning. When you have no argument you just mock. How about you explain to me what is wrong with the things I say?
    1
  18.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , the guy literally said he would punch me in the face.
    1
  19.  Atheos B. Sapien  , what do I say that makes me inferior? Also, what does my mental health have to do with anything at that point?
    1
  20.  @astromaniac360  , care to name that study? Also, I post many studies on these issue. I find it funny how far leftists love to ignore what experts say and when pushed beyond talking points they just mock as opposed to trying to develop a better argument.

  21.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , I am waiting for the semester to end so I have time to call Sam.
    1
  22.  Atheos B. Sapien  , I never brought up the mental health, you did. I don't use my mental health as an excuse. So I ask of you, why did you bring up mental health to begin with?
    1
  23.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  "You deserve every retribution trolling you get. You were an obnoxious asshole before you got your meds adjusted or whatever other conditions changed your attitude. Btw🖕 Maybe it's time for another session?" That is what he said. Why would I be taking meds if I did not have a mental health issue? As for calling, I said I would at the beginning of this current semester. I just couldn't find time. I will this winter.
    1
  24.  Atheos B. Sapien  , what is wrong with what I say? You have to point it out. Notice how I am the one giving actual sources and detail arguments and people like you just mock me?
    1
  25.  Atheos B. Sapien  , I know you quoted the NIH. Again, I have an NIH grant. A lot of research done in academics is just throwing shit on the wall and seeing what sticks. The private sector does the actual development of drugs as there is a profit motive. They take what is useful and expand it. That is why graduate students earn around $20,000 a year, their research has little value in the big picture.
    1
  26.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , really? Then why bring up medication? Explain that. No, I was asked during the beginning of the fall semester. As for the time, I go to the gym at 6, my time, which will be 9 his time. I eat breakfast and then go to work. Yes, Sam will just tease me which is what I want, to expose him. I know his fans will defend him but I will walk away knowing I am the better man.
    1
  27.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , to show I have an NIH grant means giving up my identity. At this point that is all you are pushing for, getting my identity and stalk me.
    1
  28.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , no you did not explain why he brought up medication. I was asked in the beginning of the fall semester. I will expose him to the few fans he has. Look at Sam's views, they are low. Why? Because he is a hack. It will be easy to debate him. I know he is going to deflect and mock me. But hey, just proves I am the better man.
    1
  29.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , here, if you are so smart how about you explain to me how this laser system works https://www.coherent.com/lasers/laser/libra-series I am currently writing up on it to be in my dissertation.
    1
  30.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , why bring up medication? If I am diabetic why should that matter? No, I was asked at the beginning of the fall semester.
    1
  31.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , how can I prove to you I am a scientist? Please explain how.
    1
  32.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , I am a physical chemist. I have said that many times. I am geared more towards the physics side but I work with a a professor in chemistry thus I have to pursue a physical chemistry PhD. While really physics heavy on paper it will be a PhD coming out of the chemistry department. More of a technicality then anything.
    1
  33.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , I bet you did not know that chemists use lasers. Goes to show how little you know. How about you explain to me why NMR instruments are filled with liquid helium?
    1
  34.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , my transcripts show many personal info. Also, how will I do it here? How can I post a picture here? As for making lasers, that is a a part of chemistry as well. Consider how Robin Hochstrasser and Mike Fayer developed the technique of 2D IR, or how Graham Fleming developed 2D EV. They are "chemist" as they work for the chemistry department in their respected university. So what do you have to say about that?
    1
  35.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , and it isn't about making lasers. I am going to describe how the the laser I work with actually works. Just like how I feel organic chemists should know how an NMR works as they use it a lot. So tell me, why do they use liquid He in a NMR?
    1
  36.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , my work was more physics base. I worked for a chemist but I as the physicist in the lab. I worked with the laser system and did very little wet chemistry. When you look at chemistry you see that it is very diverse. We have a "chemist" who works on the instruments and knows them very well. As a PhD candidate one should know how their instruments work. I get irritated when an organic chemist does not know how an NMR works. Not knowing how it works makes it a black box for them. The mind set of a PhD student is to know how their instruments work.
    1
  37.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , again, if I upload pictures one can get closer to me.
    1
  38.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , how do I do it on Youtube? Also, it is a way to find out about me. I gave you enough information to show how I am a scientist. How many people are interested in a Libra laser? How many people are interested in how an NMR works? And not just with spin states, but through the theory using Bloch dynamics.
    1
  39.  Atheos B. Sapien  , how did I tell the exact opposite? And what reality do I ignore? And you did say you would punch me in the face.
    1
  40.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , again, it will lead people to me which there are too many creeps on the internet. You don't have to believe me in the end as it will not change the the reality of my life. How many people even heard of Bloch dynamics? Also, as a PhD candidate you should know how your instruments work so they are more then just a black box. The fact you don't understand that and I do says a lot.
    1
  41.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  , I also know what will happen if I do post a picture, you will say I just ripped it off of the internet somewhere.

  42. They aren't wrong. M4A is a radical idea and is being pushed on the people with lies and deceptions by the far left. If M4A is passed in the way Bernie and Warren are presenting this nation will up in an uproar and Republicans will win the next election in the largest margin ever.

  43. Changing a hose is completely different and far more easier to change then a very complex healthcare system that is 1/6 of our economy as is literally a life or death situation.
    1
  44. Because they have a legit point. The arguments in support of M4A are very weak and not honest. For example, Kyle points to medical bankruptcy when studies have shown that those numbers are over stated. Such as the one entitled "Myth and Measurement — The Case of Medical Bankruptcies" They say "But our findings suggest that medical factors play a much smaller role in causing U.S. bankruptcies than has previously been claimed. Overemphasizing “medical bankruptcies” may distract from an understanding of the true nature of economic hardship arising from high-cost health problems." Healthcare reform is needed, but you have to honest to achieve it. The far left isn't.
    1
  45.  @CC-vq1yg  , that 30,000 stat is questionable and is a reason why so many are against M4A. The far left is not being honest. As Prof. Katherine Baicker said those individuals are in bad health as bad health is associated with being poor. So the question becomes do they die due to lack of healthcare or due to being in bad health to being with? As mentioned in the book "Being Mortal", people seek modern medicine to live another 5 or 10 years but will really live only 5 or 10 months. So if they get care and live only 5 more months, what that a success? And Prof, Richard Kronick pointed out in his own study, there is little correlation between access to healthcare insurance and death. There is a desire to have healthcare reform, but you need to be honest about the issue. The far left isn't.

  46.  mountaingoat1003  , there are positives in a M4A system, but something has to give. For one, advanced care will be limited where more people will be suffering or dying waiting for it. Also, even with access to healthcare physical health did not improve due to lifestyle choices as pointed out in the study entitled "The Oregon Experiment — Effects of Medicaid on Clinical Outcomes"
    1
  47.  @CC-vq1yg  , easy, as Prof. Katherine Baicker said "On the other hand, a single payer system does not automatically provide high quality care: the provision of low-value care is as pervasive in the single payer Medicare system as it is elsewhere. Single-payer systems are also slow to innovate – as suggested by the fact that it took Medicare 40 years to add a prescription drug benefit, long after most private insurers had done so. Nor do calculations of the costs of a single-payer system measure the utility loss from forcing people with different preferences into a monolithic health insurance plan. The private facilities that have sprung up in Canada to meet the demands of those who want more health care than the public system provides fundamentally undermine the “single payer” nature of the system."

  48.  @oswarz  , difference is that I cited a peer reviewed article from the NEJM which has the highest impact factor of any peer reviewed journal. I will trust that over some random article.
    1
  49.  @GeorgePiazza  , actually that study you are pointing to is not peer reviewed. It is more of a report at that point as it is not published in any peer reviewed journal. Next, it has many flaws. To start, they say costs will go down. Sure, under M4A payouts will drop by 40%. But accessibility and quality will drop as well. Let me ask you this, if your boss cuts your pay by 40% how will you react? Next, many of their numbers are highly questionable. They admit that jobs will be lost and people will have to be retrained and relocated. The give a number for a relocation cost but don't explain how they obtained it. Also, those numbers are very hard to obtain as the market will change drastically. If a bunch of people have to leave City X and move to City Y to get a new jobs, their homes in City X will be very hard to sell and will drop in value and the homes in City Y will go up in costs meaning they are going to lose money. Sure, the government may pick up the slack, but how much that slack is will be impossible to tell. And just the fact that the government is going to subsidize the program will lead to even more costs. To add to that, they are assuming people will be just willing to move. That is a very poor assumption. Also, think of the psychological effect it will have on kids being forced to leave their hometown and schools. When a new high school was built in my city any senior and junior zoned for that high school had the option of remaining in their current high school for that reason. Next, they talk about retraining. What makes you think these people will be willing to be retrained or have the ability to? And retrained to do what? Saying "retrain them" is a poor argument. It is one of many the far left makes. They are vague with no details. In the article entitled "Evaluating Retraining Programs in OECD Countries: Lessons Learned" They lay out how retraining programs struggle to succeed. And again, we have to consider the psychological aspect of this. If someone likes their job you are forcing them to take up a new one they might not like. Also, that "study" assumes that Medicare has lower overhead costs when in reality it doesn't. To me it is not that reliable. And again, when you cut costs quality and accessibility will drop as well. And also consider that study is from the same economic department that has one of the authors for M4A.

  50.  mountaingoat1003  there are legit arguments on both sides on this issue by experts.
    1
  51.  mountaingoat1003  , Medicare has many flaws. As for other nations, why they don't want to change is the same reason why change in the US is met with so much resistance. Overall, the US does many things well and alternatives will create problems our society won't accept. As for studies and stats, please provide them. I am always interested in reading more.

  52.  @whyispinkysoinsane7898  again no rebuttal. Just insults. Shows who is winning here

  53.  @oswarz  , no, I have access through my university. Either if I am on campus or log into Web of Science. As for a bias, the NEJM has the highest impact factor of any peer reviewed journals. To give a comparison, journals I publish in will have a few authors where typically the first couple will be students, either grad students or undergrads and the last couple of authors are the "corresponding authors" who have the doctoral degree. With the NEJM essentially all of the authors have doctorate degrees of some kind as the work is challenging and involves more of a professional setting. "Explain why all of the developed world is capable of providing healthcare to their people," Well, in many ways they don't. For example, the US offers more CT scans and MRIs. We offer more advanced testing which is why we lead the world in survival rates in advanced illnesses. Saying "other nations do it" highly misleading as they struggle in many areas of healthcare.
    1
  54.  mountaingoat1003  , Medicare has many flaws. Tell me why it took Medicare 40 years to cover prescription benefits when private insurance was covering it long before that? And saying it allocates resources where most needed, who decides that? The system is far from perfect. Saying it is shows you know very little about healthcare. And again, who decides need? And saying I have a "google machine" is not an argument. Google what? Ok, here is something by Prof. Katherine Baicker "On the other hand, a single payer system does not automatically provide high quality care: the provision of low-value care is as pervasive in the single payer Medicare system as it is elsewhere. Single-payer systems are also slow to innovate – as suggested by the fact that it took Medicare 40 years to add a prescription drug benefit, long after most private insurers had done so. Nor do calculations of the costs of a single-payer system measure the utility loss from forcing people with different preferences into a monolithic health insurance plan. The private facilities that have sprung up in Canada to meet the demands of those who want more health care than the public system provides fundamentally undermine the “single payer” nature of the system. " Found that while googling one day. "Never mind the health outcomes being better overall in medicare countries." That is arguably not true. For example, the US is superior in survival rates of advanced illnesses. And there is interruption of coverage. As for Canada paying half, they also receive lower quality.

  55.  @oswarz  , as for accessing that article, consider this. Consider how I have access to many articles like that and someone like Kyle doesn't, nor do you, who do you feel understands this topic more? Kyle who has limited access to resources, or me who have a ton of access to resources and cite them constantly. Bottom line is this, this is a very debatable topic. The problem I have with the far left is they are pushing M4A under misinformation and are misleading the public. What I am simply doing is showing people here there is a lot more to the argument then what is being presented by the far left. Maybe M4A is the best system. But it should be pushed with honesty and not deception. If M4A gets passed by the way Bernie is presenting it the nation will be incredibly shocked how the system will radically change, changes we were not told and thus not expecting which will cause major problems. I encourage you to dig deeper on this issue. Find a way to access more resources.

  56. @History Eraser Button , what incentive do they have with no competition?
    1
  57.  @grmpEqweer  , that 45,000 stat has been challenged and is misleading. To start, amenable mortality is an issue every nation faces. Next, with those 45,000, there are several variables there. As Prof. Katherine Baicker said, those individuals are poor and bad health is associated with being poor. The poor are in bad health typically because of their lifestyle choices. So the question becomes do the die due to lack of access or due to being in bad health to begin with? As pointed out in the book "Being Mortal", people seek out modern medicine to live another 5 or 10 years, but will really only live another 5 or 10 months. So if you give those 45,000 access to care and they die in 5 months, was that a success? Plus, Prof. Richard Kronick did a similar study and found little to no correlation between having insurance and early death. So to point to that 45,000 stat is very misleading. As for advanced illnesses, read the book "In Excellent Health" by Prof. Scott Atlas. As for healthcare rankings, they are completely arbitrary and any ranking I have seen is by some special interest group with a motive.
