Eh, I take that with a grain of salt - almost all reviews are "Meh" these days after the last couple years of them being criticized for being too positive about stuff all the time.

There's been dozens of reports that say otherwise and none that share your "facts" that I'm aware - including just watching the trends on pharmaceuticals before and after insurance got involved with covering pharmaceuticals in healthcare plans. (You know those ridiculous markups you talk about...

There's more to it than that Remmy. Nitroglycerin pills for human vs. vet use are literally made under the same standards with higher dosages for horses, yet the horse nitro pills cost hundreds of times less (maybe even thousands, been ages since I've found out).

I had said it felt like it. And the frame by frame was only something I noticed because of a stream hiccup, not anything I did intentionally until I rewound to make sure. And on this I've got NFC what he was asking for offsets for. Hell might be a ShowEQ user for all I know. It's just weird...

The most efficient thing for them to do is refuse every claim... that's what the administrative costs were largely for were to find legal grounds to refuse to pay for care. So yes, efficient for the insurance company - for the providers and the clients using their services? Not at all.

Had an interesting tell from someone after the downtime - "Got the new offsets?". After asking what he was talking about he (Slumdog no clue his numbers as he removed before I thought to note it) removed me from friends so no followup or anything. Not sure if it was a joke, or it was a WoW...

Playing it so far, it definitely feels "odd" especially for me being unused to the time management RPG types - got a feeling if we'd look at Atelier and other time management RPG reviews they'd land pretty similarly. The gameplay is fun but the time management stuff makes it a bit alien at the...

Insurance is the only middleman in the equation, if you're hating on them who do you think is beneficial within the middlemen? There are a few others but most of them are tangential or largely insurance related. (I.e. hospital administration)

Insurance companies want less innovative solutions, bro. Better knee transplant costs them more than the old standby. And due to them generally paying out partially with max charge agreements any savings on innovations for existing procedures ends up going to the doctors.

What did Ed Asner ever do to you?

Ciaus is apparently back for Lightning Returns as well - only know that from some synopsises though - not started playing quite yet (Actually installing right now).

The actual text on the option as it's listed in the article is "No Kills or Knockouts" - so no it's not different, he just abbreviated which made it unclear.

The "efficiency" the extra administrative costs saved actually weren't a net savings to the system as a whole - it was extra auditors to find reasons to DECLINE CLAIMS for any reason they could find, which then led to a spiral of offices having to hire more office workers to get the claims paid...

Magic 2014 and previous years is on Android.... limited deck construction but otherwise it's all there (and sealed on 2014 is pretty much full sealed with construction options)

Neat that they've got it, but takes some of the fun out of it =(

You do realize that before the ACA, the average insurance company besides Medicare (which ran around 20% administrative costs) ran something like over 60% of it's costs as administrative costs, right? More was being spent on the bureaucracy that they themselves made than they did in actually...

SoJ was my method I was trying for a while, but never seemed to work. Next one I need to try is Doomsayer don't think I've heard him attacking yet. Ancient Watcher was disappointing, rest I've been amused by.

From preorder numbers at the local Gamestop's here it doesn't look like it... Hell, the beta is supposed to be out any day now, so if its going to be moving units quite a few should be moving already. I'm sure the CODBros are going to get it, but it doesn't look like it will get much more...

Tried that before but it never seemed to work out for me - this time that I FINALLY got it to work was Knife Thrower. He attacked the knife thrower with the charge murloc and the KT ganked it. Was so proud of the little guy I tried to win the match with him, but alas my hubris of wasting...

Maybe I took you wrong, you were anti the past few pages - assumed it was sarcasm making a really poorly thought implication. Otherwise it's just redundant with what others have already said (I know myself for one...)

Your Down Syndrome is acting up Jobe - scaling likely isn't an issue and it can be mitigated by that if it existed - the argument doesn't work in reverse unless you're trying to claim healthcare can never work period. (Which is even more Downsy)

Gotta love the attack messages for the "you normally can't attack with me" guys - finally got a Noble Sacrifice to live - "Hahaha! I live!" is his attack message, so perfect.

"Illegally extended?" Please cite where no flexibility is allowed with start dates for bills. Also note there's at least a half dozen cases for the last administration I know off my head - likely many more that I don't know off my head - that were delayed from the bill's printed date.

No, they weren't substantially cheaper before for IDENTICAL plans - the young often got crap plans that literally covered almost nothing before. Apples to apples the difference in cost for the young in most states is around 10-15% more than they paid before. Did you not read anything outside...

Our system is due to have problems now that Indian and Pakistani doctors are starting to slow in coming here too... and "social programs" are a trickle of the funding we use as is, even in the nations that are "OMG SOCIALISMS" tier, we could match their expenses as a percentage of national...

We're still one of the highest doctors per capita - in fact far outstripping those smaller nations in doctors per capita.... So uhm... yea?

Citation needed - remember every single metric needs to be covered and EVERY SINGLE ONE needs to be worse to make your statement accurate and not hyperbole - GO! To make it easier for you, at least a few metrics are clearly improving with it - portion of people covered is growing.

Annoys the heck out of me when they mention them in cutscenes as PEEGS - they're pieces of gold dammit.

And of course he'd need to explain why we couldn't just "scale" to a per state thing - after all states are roughly the same size as most of these countries (actually smaller for all but a few) and still have sovereignty when the 10th isn't being ignored.

Canada, India, England, France, China, Egypt, Israel, and some other areas near each that were minitrips and honestly I can't recall 100% because it was like "Hey, lets do one day in Denmark while we're doing a week in France" type stuff when I was younger. Only have done targeted trips on my...

Technically tort and interstate competition were lightly included in the ACA even.

With all the recent criticism of critics not being critical - plus it's departure from being a "REAL RPG" - 6-8 is about what I'd expect even if it was a near perfect title.

Technically the question would be a CURRENT limitation - remember it's very much a work in progress - but yea that was jarring to me too. Apparently it's "dug out" and not actually player made though, so the smoothing tools and such people mentioned might not be usable on it? Regardless...

Actually now that you mention that, I bet that's its longterm intent once the full game is out or just about to be - rake in some bucks on the "demo" now, then give it to PS+ folks right before the full title comes out to wet the appetite for it. Seems the best of both worlds with how to...

Was shocked to hear - mostly because I thought she was older and already dead myself. Really hard to believe she was only 85.

No Ctl or F-keys on XBOne, bro.

Merchant just seems ridiculous, period - the money attack is doing more damage for me than any Friend link thing I've got so far (L6 is where I've capped my Merchant ATM though - doing lots of getting every class to 6 rather than focusing with all the unlocks and such) PS - Ringabel is...

Easy way to prove that wrong is to start with a few states at a time adopting it and then go from there (as it looks NH or was it VT? Is getting pretty close to soon)

Uh - the chart is based off of how much money the Federal Government sends TO THE STATE GOVERNMENT - the amount that the Fed spends on the military is a nonfactor for the chart... the only cases that would count is the RARE FEW STATES THAT PAY FOR THEIR OWN NATIONAL GUARD (which from the states...

You mean in food production? Because that's all those areas have for them that don't rely heavily on the NE corridor amongst other things for large parts if not all of. And food can be bought elsewhere if you're generating income, which per square mile the NE dominates handedly and per capita.
