What's the connection between mental illness and availability of health care Rescorla?

Maybe when the mass shootings increase in frequency to 2-3 per day your government will start taking the (mental) health of American citizens seriously. Who knows though.

It would be a start.

I don't like your new avatar. It's just not you.

The US needs more Francis Underwood.

It's been a slow week?

Complains about misuse of 'gendered language', but uses gendered insults. Kids are fucking stupid.

Pssst. Every 'non-American' from a western nation with socialized health care thinks 'Obamacare' (lol) is a retarded half measure doomed to failure. But okay.

This is like the third or fourth time he's tried to troll this thread with the same shtick, and nobody pays attention. Wonder when he's gonna get bored?

There have been no updates from Daybreak since the summer. Their 'open development' has gone totally dark. They've scrapped the EQN forums on their website, and banned all discussion of EQN at all. There has not been a 'Workshop Show' in 3 months. There has been zero communication as to why this...

Why do you think Americans choose to use illegal drugs at a higher rate than other nations? Are Americans weaker than others? Are they lazier? Less intelligent? Or, just maybe, Americans are self medicating because they aren't cared for by their country. Who knows?

Nobody is gonna buy these things right off the hop. What do you guys think of the concept of a VR based hospitality operation, kinda like a karaoke booth bar?

How many butts would a buttnipper nip if a buttnipper could nip butts?

Three years ago at a routine checkup I casually mentioned to my doc that I had picked up smoking again. He asked me if I wanted to quit, I said yes, and handed me a 2 month supply of Nic-patches for free. He also gave me some reading material to help, and made an appointment to check on my...

Do you think Americans are inherently worse people than Canadians? The French? Germans? The Japanese? Or any of the other 28 countries who blow you out of the water on public health? That's what you think is going on? More Americans are just 'lazy'? Keep on truckin' I suppose.

You can't even imagine a national healthcare system where your doctor acts as something more than a treatment machine, can you? You don't have a concept of preventative measures being taken to manage your ongoing health. Visiting a doctor several times per year just to talk about your general...

lol. Also, the country with the best healthcare technology and practitioners on the planet has the 33rd healthiest population. It couldn't be because your system itself is broken. Nope!

bump lol

This is why Picasso called you a talking point regurgitator with myopic reductionist arguments. *shrug*

How about the fact that the citizens who reside in richest nation on the planet have a similar health level to Central American banana farmers?

Clearly the U.S. isdoing something rightif the health of their citizens is (just marginally) better than those from economic powerhouses like Bosnia & Herzegovina, Mexico, and Panama! Seriously though, your whole country should be ashamed of reports like this.

Wait... So I've been saying 'nip this in the butt' incorrectly all this time? The shame.

Bach + post grad certificate in operations management.

...this is not a discussion about what the price of cancer treatment should be. This is a discussion about how much people should pay for it. Stop constructing that absurd strawman.

Just for the record, 18% of the American population is 58,000,000 people.

Oh god hodj why did you make me watch that? I was almost at hype level orange... Now I'm back down to hype level EQN.

That video was awesome. Hype alert yellow.

Of course I agree, it's what I said. But that doesn't mean socialized medicine isn't a superior system. You pay a HUGE economic and social price for that extra 5-10% skill/motivation/availability derived from capitalism. It's like diminishing returns in an MMO and you've hit the soft cap on your...

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about any more.

Of course that's the (terrible and myopic) argument against socialized medicine. It's the argument hyper-conservative power wielders in the US have used to bamboozle and marginalized the American poor for decades. But it's absurd.

$8500 and not working would financially destroy every single one of the 50,000,000 Americans without insurance in 2013. Your wife makes six figures. That alone isdoublewhat the average American household brings in annually. You might not be rich, but you are just not who this discussion is...

Dude... you've said quite recently that your household income is somewhere in the range of $170,000+ if I remember correctly. I don't think you're the best case study. The U.S. Census Bureau reported in September 2014 that: U.S. real (inflation adjusted) median household income was $51,939 in...

Alright. But if you remove the profit motive from medicine, competition will decrease, and bring with it all the negatives associated with that. Individual practitioner motivation and even skill would probably decline as well as treatment availability. America can't have it all, but they can...

Well, nobody ever accused Americans of being very bright on the whole, now did they. You can't possibly maintain the quality you have now under a private system, but you can maintain 90% of that quality and get everybody the health care theyneed.

They could be going because they're Lebron rich. They could be going because they live closer to an American population centres than they do to a Canadian one. They could be going because they don't want to wait for treatment. It doesn't matter because it's a negligible percentage of the...

52,000 people is 0.15% of our entire population... Or 1 in 634 people... That's what you're basing your opinion on?

Actually, he said that words have evolving meanings.
