    What would have probably happened is that Medicare would now be reimbursing more than it does today and overall spending about the same IMO

    I have no love for hospitals or their legion of sleezeball, useless administrators btw, would love to see them all out of a job and grifting elsewhere. I just don’t see putting every hospital in the US in the red literally overnight as a reasonable solution to healthcare, sorry.

    Even with that 400% markup, hospital makes about 3-6% profit margin… because if their only payer is Medicaid or Medicare then they would go under.

    Using your own chatGPT Current private healthcare reimburses about More specifically: Inpatient hospital services: ~ 189% of Medicare rates. KFF Outpatient hospital services: ~ 264% of Medicare rates. KFF Physician services: ~ 143% of Medicare rates. You think you can just cut all of that...

    I am in healthcare and can tell you that this would collapse the entire system and lead to a recession. Hospital consolidation and the move away from small business/private practice is a large problem. Hospital and Insurance lobby wrote PPACA, and I’m sure they’ll have their hands all over any...

    Taken from their website… if you’re looking for some sort of super high skill ceiling high APM game this probably isn’t the one for you Simple, Deliberate Gameplay Simple, streamlined, strategic combat; reminiscent of classic era MMOs Slower gameplay and progression pacing

    It can be expensive to have an in office phlebotomist / lab setup and office visit reimbursement isn’t exactly keeping up with those costs year to year. Basically the only way to keep a lab in the black is to do it at massive scale like Labcorp

    I’m biased because I work in healthcare but the awful thing about UNH is the more successful that company becomes the more it’s an overall loss for the USA IMO. I guess not a bad hedge in a weird way lol

    Evicting and repossessing a house sounds like a pain in the ass to me. I still don’t see the advantage over just investing whatever you make off the sale of the home.

    I’m a total idiot but just my initial thought… if you really just want long term “income” from the sale of your house why not just sell the house and put the money in a 30 year CD/Treasury ladder and skip the risk of the new buyer defaulting? Edit: uhhh… this does not sound like a “benefit”...

    Yeah I was about to say this really isn't very common anymore. I graduated in the 2010s and I think I went to one party at a double-wide in 4 years which was the only time I saw one IIRC

    @Foggy honest question, is there some explanation for why Matthew McConaughay spends his weekends traveling around with a mediocre Texas football team? Does he get paid for it as advertising or something? Or does this dude really not have something better to do?

    I personally don’t trust median household income data. I think there’s a ton of people working under the table and a massive amount of small business owners significantly underreporting their income. I don’t think it has gone up 300% like rent but you can’t convince me the “median” household is...
