It's not the Heat, it's just you.

Wow, those numbersarepretty unbelievable. If you have 8 million people out of 300 million, that is only about 2.7%... Except that poll is only for adults 18 and older. Well, this is getting complicated. Let's Wikipedia some shit. Using 2010 populations, let's say there are 78 million-ish...

For just 15 cents a day, you can help clothe the First Lady.

If the government could charge you for unicorn farts, they would.

Government spending oninfant formulahealth care is out of control.

I'm not sure why, but this strikes me as the saddest thing that I have ever read. But there are no rustled jimmies, no chain of swear words, nor wishes for a ban. Just a solemn disappointment.

That's pretty cool, Merlin.

Yawn.

So "it seems" like the ACA expands waste and "you imagine" that this is hidden somewhere in its 2,700 pages. Okay. Look, I don't think the ACA is a perfect answer. But the ACA isn't really the problem, either. The problem is the health care system itself, but the argument is never about...

How does the ACA expand any of the types of waste your posted article describes?

Quick, everyone post something about a non-Heat team. What an idiot that guy was.

Is there anyone like this in the NFL thread?

Says the guy bitching about a regular season game.

Does medical care cost so much because it is expensive to produce or does medical care cost so much because there is a system in place that allows it to cost so much?

The Bobcats are 7th in the East. Woo.

LeBron, save me from your followers.

Think of how much higher that 33% would be if it wasn't for all those Obamabots defending Dear Leader's failed policies.THUMBS HIGH!

Hey guys, have you heard how terrible the entire government is?

But how did radiation-laced water from the Pacific reach the Northeast?

That serpent-card drawing thing is cute, but it might not be as dominant as that picture wants it to be. Living the dream of bouncing Raised by Wolves on your Heroic Dude is negated by the queasy feeling induced by the thought of recasting Eternity Snare every turn. Plus a 4/4 on its own just...

Her personality?

Antibiotics are useless against nuclear volcano ash. Duh.

That's the funny thing, nothing about how insurance is working is new. Looking things up is pretty godawful. People don't carry their cards, or they carry old cards, or their plan didn't change but the card still has new information. Looking things up in a retail pharmacy is unreliable at...

Weird, my uncle's cousin's sister's butcher just told me how Obamacare is going to save him $2000 per year.

I feel like I should be reacting to this somehow, but...

If everyone would just stop exercising, health care costs would totally go way down.

I know I brought this up a couple of days ago, but I wanted to get some actual numbers. Currently, our pharmacy charges $25 for 30 Hydrocodone/APAP 5mg/500mg. Generic Norco 5/325 (Same drugs, different ratio) runs about the same cost. In January,the maximum amount of APAP allowed in...

The cash prices of prescription drugs are all over the fucking place. A number of drugs have jumped from "affordable without insurance" to "batshit insane" in the past few months at the pharmacy I work at. As an example, I fully expect Vicodin "generics" to jump in price in 2014. That will...

That would only work if it is sunny, so the ducks can be free.

It's too bad we're running out of doctors.

I suppose you could also control costs by denying access to health care, which also sounds like a wonderful option.

But that's not controlling costs. That's letting costs balloon to batshit insanity, thus making public assistance a necessity. To control costs, the simplest options seem to be having an entity offer health care (hospitals, drug manufacturing, individual practices) at uniform prices. So...

At least the lube will now be covered by your insurance, even though your butthurt is a preexisting condition.

I would absolutely love to see the "Don't impose regulations on the free market" circle jerk that would happen if any law attempted to somehow control costs. It would be glorious.
