@medsr6674 Pharmaceutical Giants exist in Europe too. Moderna's CEO came from 2 of them as one of their sales/marketing guys. He's a business major, not a doctor. Stéphane Bancel...look him up.

@medsr6674 Europe is the biggest target market for Afghan opium/heroin. I did a lengthy research paper on it. An IMF official also openly stated they were bailing out European banks with money from Afghan opium. The most profitable market for heroin in Europe is the UK (GBP), followed by Germany and France. I don't understand the statement that the opioid epidemic is limited to the US. Maybe you meant the acting FDA Commissioner, Janet Woodcock and her oversight of expanding the opioid crisis in the US?

 @ozymandias8523 Have you not heard of Medicare or Medicaid? US pays $1.3 Trillion per year for those social safety net programs. Social Security is $1.196 Trillion on top of that and growing.

@Succadeez Retirement of the Baby Boomer generation is seeing a massive contraction of revenue from them into Congress's coffers, while dramatically increasing demand on entitlement pay-outs especially to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

@jonaskessler326 The 90% approval rating was under Trump's overhaul of the VA system, where they threw 4x the money at it until it got better, and people were held accountable for once. The VA has had a very bad reputation throughout most of the past 50 years. It's one of the most poorly-run, waste/fraud/abuse-ridden government bureaucracies rampant with graft, incompetence, pork barrel contracts to cronies, and lack of critical staff positions. I would never use the VA as a model for the Nation. (Vet here, just went to my nearest clinic today. My region is one of the better-run due to State culture, not Federal policies.)

@ozymandias8523 What % of whose GDP are you asking?
1
@ozymandias8523 US spends trillions on Healthcare (18-19% of GDP) in both the private and public sectors, while also financing billions in the European market with our RDT&E and pioneering new technologies that Europe and the rest of the world benefit from.

@ozymandias8523 US has far more services that are higher quality newer, with much shorter wait times. We also finance the development and distribution of medical devices, equipment, and medicine that is purchased at discount rates even for "advanced" European nations.

@globalfamily8172 Doctors in the private sector in the EU make bank. In the 2000s, they made 65€ per 15 minutes in Finland. People looking for quick, quality care go to private clinics.

When Joe says the media is failing us, it's under the assumption that US media networks are geared towards spreading the truth. Along with this whole Russian disinformation and crisis posture, they captured the CIA's Mockingbird Program from the moment is was launched by Frank Wisner in the late 1940s/early 1950s. The Soviets already had 200 double agents within the CIA before Langley was even stood-up, and those guys rose quickly through the ranks to upper management. They immediately reported back to Lubyanka that the Yankees were developing a counter to the Soviet International Organization of Journalists, which presented a unique opportunity for them to poison the American effort of trying to compete with them in Ideological Warfare. As Mockingbird coordinated with every newspaper, magazine, radio, and TV station owners, managers, and journalists, pro-American propaganda was supposed to be seeded or reported, but instead, carefully camouflaged anti-American propaganda was slowly introduced. This culminated in the anti-War message against Vietnam in the late 1960s, where they even had Walter Cronkite falsely reporting every news clip he filmed with his crew, including the statement that the US can't win there. We literally have generations of Soviet-controlled media in our broadcast and print "journalism" that has relentlessly repeated an anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-free enterprise, anti-military message. Combined with the preaching of pro-marxist-Leninist political-economic philosophy in the schools and universities, they have really influenced our society's views about itself more than we have by making it organic to academia and common discourse, and anyone who questions leftist ideology is immediately declared to be a radical or mentally ill. This is right out of the same playbook they used against Russian nationalists in the Russian Civil War. And what do they really need to do to take away the voice of people who disagree with them? Any means for them to be able to defend themselves, just as they did in the 1920s. "Comrades, we have an amnesty period where you can turn in all firearms and weapons since we have outlawed crime!"

We waited 45 days to get an MRI for my son in Finland. In the US, we have critiques from a few years ago talking about how bad it was that patients had to wait an average of 2hrs and 47 minutes from time of the Dr. order. They dropped it down to 47 minutes a few years ago, but still not good enough. You actually did pay thousands for that MRI though. Just look at how much they took from you in taxes every year. MRI was also developed in the US on the US’s dime, just like the Royal Canadian Air Force fighter aircraft since the 1950s to the tune of billions of US RDT&E money. We have way faster access to care, with dramatically more options and specialists in the US, with far more EMS systems per capita as well. It isn’t perfect, and DC involvement makes it worse, not better.

@AB-wf8ek Illegal immigrants in the US have better access than the rich and political class in Canada do to NHS.
1
@ptenberg72 That’s unacceptable by US standards decades ago. We were complaining about 2hrs 47 minutes in 2015 per US Radiological and Diagnostics standards, saying 2hrs 47min was too long. The goal was to get it down to 45 minutes National average. They’re much closer to that now. There are different types of priorities for MRI, as you might know. Emergencies from trauma or medical conditions requiring urgent ER visit are priority. Same for X-Ray, CT Scans, ultrasound, and EKG.

They compensated for it with putting people on vents and diagnosing everyone they could with Wuhanflu, triggering Federal funding. Many hospitals operate on revolving Medicare Plan A payments to keep them solvent, with idiot hospital directors who embezzle funds for a few years, then move to the next one. If we audited Medicare, it would shake Congress because there is a massive scam being played on the people, and Congress is eyeball-deep in it.

@sthubbins4038 Biden had 13 KIAs in one day directly because of his teasonous policies. Trump didn't start any new wars, and had his HHS authorize about 1000 new generic drugs per year to bring the costs of prescription meds under control. Pfizer hated him for that, and ran 24/7 anti-Trump ads on their corporate shill "news" channels non-stop because he hurt their obscene profits so badly.

@Willy_Wacker_42069 First day in the WH, Biden killed the Keystone Pipeline and pulled drilling permits on as many public lands as possible. This allowed oil to get over $100/bbl, which is what the Russian economy needs to grow and finance their military production. Trump was crushing Russian economic growth. The US economy grows best when energy prices are low, which is opposite of Russia and the OPEC racket.

@818semik Biden has been on Soviet payroll since 1972 through Council for a Livable World. They got him into the Senate and have steered his career, according to him on his own words. The plan was for Biden to get Zelensky out of Ukraine on a plane so Putin could fill in the void and declare victory quickly. Zelensky threw a wrench in their plans by refusing to leave, and asking for weapons from Europe instead. Under the Obama/Biden WH, they refused to allow US weapons to Ukraine. Trump was the first to help Ukraine build up with US weapons and training, while telling Putin if he invaded Ukraine, he would deeply regret it. Putin didn't risk it while Trump was in office, and Trump gave him a little display of what Putin would face in the Battle of Khasham in Syria, where Putin's Wagner forces were bombed with JDAMs and artilleried with M777 for 6 hours after they attacked US SOF embedded with Kurds. Notice how the presstitute media avoids these facts.

@dingusamingus6402 Presidents absolutely have an influence on gas prices by control of drilling permits on Federal land. Most drilling operations are done on private land when possible, but the offshore GOPLATs are Federally-contrilled, as are international arrangements like the Keystone Pipeline Keystone was going to allow Canadian mid-crude to be blended with US super light from the Bakken, as it was to be piped down to the refineries in the Gulf Coast. That was an optimum blend that wouldn't require any new refinery configuration, and would have dropped prices for the US and Canada, fueling a wave of economic growth for North America that could have supplanted Russian petrol to Europe. Keystone was a clear and present danger to Russia and Putin's ambitions, which is why Putin pulled out all the stops to ensure he got Biden into the WH. The ChiComs helped out with this as well, throwing everything into the DNC and "get out the vote" initiatives for 2020, since Biden has been on their payroll since at least the 1990s. Read the emails and texts some time from Hunter's Apple devices. He and James Biden had open spending accounts from the Chicoms and complained when a car ran out of gas, asked for more money to be deposited, as if it was the Chicom's fault James was too stupid to fill the tank. It's beyond shameful how stupid and corrupt they are.

@orlandodiazrn Mather stated zero facts. "Trump is stupid because he literally thought the stealth bomber was invisible." Stealth Bomber is the B-2A. Trump was talking about the F-35's Radar Stealth features as explained to him by the pilots, which works far better than all of the ignoramus presstitute media tards have been claiming for decades. Mather sounds like he drops 100 IQ points when he rants about Trump.

@circa1890 Biden is a Soviet mole. You've been voting for a literal traitor on Russian payroll since the 1970s, with the document and financial trail not even covered because he's such an idiot. They got him into the Senate in Delaware by using laundered money through Council for a Livable World. Biden thanks the CFALW repeatedly, not only for getting him into the Senate, but for steering his positions on nuclear disarmament for the US through SALT II and other treaties, which always favored the Soviets and reduced US weapons count. Hunter and James bring in Russian and Chinese agents to give access to stacks of boxes of documents at various locations, as well as diplomatic pouch transfers Biden has done himself over the past 50 years. He's a known traitor who is protected by the co-opted FBI and CIA, who were compromised long ago.

@DanielRuiz-oo1ix It's called populism, which is something every politician craves, but can't have without a genuine grassroots support, or media-curated cult of personality fabrication like was done with FDR and Obama. With Trump, you have hundreds of thousands of supporters wiling to pack stadiums while the media machine works against him. We've never seen anything like that before. You can't just write it off by condescending to the people who support him, reducing them in your mind to something less than you.

@yianpap6093 Universities don't produce good leaders and never have, because universities aren't about leadership, but a make-believe world where tenured educated idiots are intoxicated by the fumes of their own flatulence, ignorant of the real world around them. True leaders have to solve real-world problems with real people they're responsible for. The private sector with large employment consequences is a crucible where the tenured flatulators dare not enter.

@joedlf3618 Keystone was going to combine Canadian thick crude with US Bakken light sweet and send it down to US refineries that are set up for a heavier oil. It was a win-win that would significantly reduce the costs for both US and Canada, strengthening the North American energy independence position with cheaper energy costs, which boosts the economies of both nations. That threatened to drop the Russian economy even further, since Russia has no growth without oil being over $100/bbl.
1
@joedlf3618 That's backwards. It would pipe Canadian crude and US Bakken together to reduce the thickness and make it easier to refine, saving both countries a lot of money. US light sweet is too easy to refine, so we mix it with heavy foreign sludge and process it through our refineries, which specialize in mid-grade crude. Heavy crude is more expensive to process, and refineries built only for light sweet are a waste of money, also expensive. We're the #1 refiners because we have so many sea ports and infrastructure that other countries simply don't have. This is why Keystone was such a huge threat to Russia and OPEC, as it would have effectively driven the price per BBL down significantly. We still mix those products and transport them to the refineries, but at added costs via rail. The pipeline would have dramatically cut costs in our favor.
1
@joedlf3618 Bakken is US oil. It sounds like someone who is very ignorant of the industry misled you into thinking US oil companies were going to give away their oil for free, while not charging for refining services on top of it all. Keystone was to be a net benefit to the US in production and pricing. It threatened Russia's economy, which is why their stooge, Joe Biden, killed it first-thing. He's been on Soviet payroll since 1972.

No. Defense is the whipping post with multiple layers of scrutiny, while Medicare, Medicaid, Dept of Education???, EPA, OSHA, Interior, Justice, Treasury, Agriculture, and Transportation are filled with so much graft, it would cause a revolution if people saw. The brazenly nature of their waste, fraud, and graft is takes obscenity to preposterous levels. But one of the only enumerated powers that actually matters and really needs public funding is ridiculed as if it's superfluous. It's all bonkers.

@UCCq496lgSRuHTyAAKzccRBg I've been all around the world too. But look no further than that shining city in the swamp. GAO, JPO, DOT&E just for the JSF/F-35 program. Each of those offices is funded with millions to find things wrong with the most successful fighter program ever, but they keep saying how it's a POS, shouldn't go into full-rate production until it crosses their next moving goal post. They only delivered the 790th aircraft last month and have flown 500,000 hours in the fleet. Over a dozen nations are buying them as fast as they can, with more jumping on-board each year. They've been used in combat for years now, but it's still not ready, says GAO.

@stinkwink695 It's like comparing a really nice restaurant with a vast menu to a soup kitchen. Of course it costs more. We do have superior services, extremely short wait times, better EMS, more hospitals/clinics/specialists/dentists/orthodontists per capita. Outcomes is code word for life expectancy, which is primarily a result of diet and resultant cardiovascular disease (#1 killer).
1
@stinkwink695 Wait times in the US are dramatically lower than Canada or Europe. I've seen it firsthand and have researched the average wait times for common treatments, diagnostics, and procedures for years, rather than accepting these claims at face value. Dental care in Mexico? The US has multi-billion programs for dental care for low income families, let alone affordable options for those who are median income and higher. We waited 45 days for my son to get an MRI in Finland. In the US, the hospitals are berated for not getting ER patients in an MRI within 45 minutes. The National average wait time for MRI in the US used to be 2hrs 47min, which was deemed terrible, so we implemented measures to cut that down. Planned MRIs in the US were 59.2 hrs in 2015, then dropped to 15.2hrs. In Canada, they were 105 Days in 2021. EMS response times and # of Life Flight/Air Ambulances per capita are far superior in the US. The math just never adds up when you actually drill down into these claims about how better Healthcare is in all these other countries.

@nameleszreviews5232 Nobody is ready for parenthood. You figure it out. We're headed into population decline due to birth control, urbanization, abortion, mass infanticide in China, Europe, and the US.

@bboylyte8639 Medical bankruptcy is one of the most inflated claims in the US to generate hype for political purposes, while not having a very significant influence on bankruptcy filings. Bankruptcy filings are a result of multiple factors, and medical bills are nowhere near the top factor according to all the data I have studied. For starters, Elizabeth Warren’s cherry-picked study went to 2005, where there were only 1.45 million bankruptcies filed in the whole US including Chapter 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15. Only Ch 13 is for wage-earners, while Ch 15 represented the largest % of filings. The study expanded the parameters to include if people had missed 2 weeks of work due to sickness, had medical bills over $1000, and mortgaged their home to pay for bills. If bankruptcy filers fell into those categories, it was listed as "bankruptcy due to medical expenses", even if that wasn’t true. That’s less than half a percent of the overall population who even filed for bankruptcy. By adding those parameters, they fudged the data to indicate that 61% of the filers filed because of medical expenses. Another study in 2011 found that only 26% of Ch 13 filers said medical expenses played a role. Some studies said 57.1% while others said more people filed bankruptcy for medical expenses than overall bankruptcy filings, which is egregiously flawed. Not only can’t all Ch 13 filers be due to medical expenses, but Ch 13 can’t exceed all of the types of Chapter filings due to the dominance of corporate and foreign businesses filing bankruptcy each year. Ch 13 is only 27-38% of bankruptcy filings each year. Another thing is that personal bankruptcies are not a constant Y2Y. Personal bankruptcies peaked in 2010 at over 434,000 after the financial crisis, then dropped dramatically down to around 299,000 in 2016, 289,000 in 2019, and 194,000 in 2020. Chapter 13 Bankruptcies in US Year to Year 2008: 353k 2009: 398k 2010: 434.8k 2011: 417k 2012: 375k 2013: 343k 2014: 313k 2015: 302k 2016: 299k 2017: 296k 2018: 288k 2019: 289k 2020: 194k 2021: 117.7k 2022: 149k (.05% of the US population) Anytime someone presents a claim, automatically question whether that claim is even accurate, then do the research and understand the basic math. In the case of medical bankruptcy, it’s an extremely inflated piece of hype used by proponents of massive change to the overall US system, with no numbers to support it. It’s sensationalist hype really.

@la7era1u54 Government-provided anything means there will be more middlemen who use that same tactic you accurately describe, where opportunistic pieces of trash bribe their way into the corrupt scheme. Congress has run this way since the 1800s, and was thoroughly corrupted in the 1920s during Prohibition. It’s all pay-to-play, with Senators and more senior members of the House acting as appointed gate-keepers to the money streams from Federal programs. We want less involvement from DC, not more. Anything DC touches turns to excrement as a result, with a mafia-style union thug payment arrangement with specific donors who get choice positions at the pork barrel. Quality has decreased ever since ACA for a number of reasons, since health insurance providers, big Pharma, and medical suppliers wrote the legislation. Even with all of that, sadly, the US is the creme of the crap when it comes to healthcare availability, services, specialists, Emergency Medicine and EMS services, density, orthodontists, orthopedics, diagnostics, etc. I’ve been studying this subject and have lived in 30 different nations, 8 different States, have been to hospitals all over Europe and Canada, and have analyzed the data. The math is not in favor of any of those nations compared to the US, other than costs for medicine because we pay for the development of meds, while they group buy in bulk. From 2017-2020, HHS authorized 900-1000 generic drugs each year to help cut common drug prices, but now Pfizer is back to their antics of more and more fleecing of buyers.

@MasterYoist Glad to hear you got your finger reattached. That sounds like a nightmare. I used to investigate Worker’s Comp Fraud, and far more people abuse that system, which hurts employers and taxpayers tremendously. It’s a huge racket with billions of dollars collected fraudulently. Doctors love it because there is no accountability, so they can keep charging for more visits with whatever they want.

@benmllr5499 Europe negotiates wholesale costs for US drugs, and never put in the billions of research and development into modern emergency medical systems, diagnostics, equipment, and procedures. Europe enjoys massive financial benefits on the backs of US taxpayers as if it was still 1945-1960s. Stupid/greedy American politicians just keep facilitating it with hidden deals and bribes. UK, Germany, France, and NATO nations have enjoyed special financial treatment for generations not only in the medical field, but in defense, science, technology, telecom, education, heavy industries, etc. US wanted to ensure a hedge against Russian expansion and was willing to allow grossly-unfair trade deals to the US, which Europe has abused, especially after 1992.

@td6310 1st Amendment violations by Biden WH include sending the IRS to journalists' homes while they're testifying before Congress, depriving whistle-blower FBI agents of their salary, transportation, and housing, even as they testify before Congress. He has also tasked the unconstitutional ATF with violating the people's rights repeatedly with extra-legislative actions outside of any authority of the DOJ (they have none to pass laws). This is all happening right now.

@nohome12 In poor countries, people that belong in prison for their crimes simply pay off the police. Crime is much higher in those countries as a result. The US is much safer to live in, especially for a Nation with 334 million people. There is also a strong semblance of due process of law, though not perfect. There isn't much due process of law in most nations because of bribery/corruption.
