Health care in America is much more expensive than anywhere else on earth. Thank God Kennedy today said America should ration health care and go after people who repeatedly visit hospital emergency rooms. One huge problem we Americans have is that almost half of all health care spending is spent on the last few days of life. We don't do nearly as good a job at shutting off respirators on terminally ill patience as Australia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Europe, or Canada. We Americans need to learn from others.
ReplyDeleteLet me rant here; in America:
ReplyDelete-half of all surgeries aren't necessary
-Doctors pay outrageaous legal insurance fees and prescribe too many tests, doctors visits, medications, and surgeries to reduce their risk of being fraudulently sued by patience. The Lawyers need to take a hike!!!
- far too many patience visit hospital emergency rooms (several thousand dollars per visit) or expensive specialists versus visiting general practice physicians that could probably do as good or a better job for a small fraction of the price.
- too many patients demand the most recent on patent drugs when older cheaper drugs might be as good or even better for them; and too many doctors indulge them by prescribing the most expensive on patent medicines
- too many patients demand to get name brand drugs versus generics.
- about 2/3rds of all health care is paid for by the government, even though the government doesn't negotiate hard to reduce health care costs
In other words, the US health care system is massively messed up.
V, do you have any ideas on how to facilitate health related technological innovation?
Im doing well vza! Are you enjoying your summer? Great weather the last few days.
ReplyDeleteI saw many of your posts during my forced "time out". Great work, as usual. Also, i appreciated your advocating on my behalf when you realized I was probably banned.
I was hoping I might break my addiction duing banishment but, alas, I did not. More wasted hours bantering in perpetual futility.... :)

ReplyDeleteIndeed
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the funniest videos Ive seen in years RS. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThere is no "recipe"...
ReplyDeleteSuccessful countries do share some common elements. They all provide some degree of effective property rights protection and contract enforcement, maintain macroeconomic stability, seek to integrate in the world economy, and ensure an appropriate environment for productive diversification and innovation. What differs is the manner in which these ends are achieved. For example, greater integration with world markets can be achieved via export subsidies (South Korea), export-processing zones (Malaysia), investment incentives to multinational enterprises (Singapore), special economic zones (China), regional free trade agreements (Mexico), or straight import liberalization (Chile). Appropriate policy design is always contingent on local conditions: it takes advantage of pre-existing advantages and seeks to overcome domestic constraints. That is the reason why successful reform often does not travel well.
China maintains effective property rights protection? Tum podem extulit horridulum!
Mexico - regional free trade agreements?
ReplyDeleteAy chingao, pinche guey!
"The recovery is going to be subpar," [Nouriel] Roubini said. "I see a one percent growth in the economy in the next few years. There will also be 11 percent unemployment next year and the recovery is going to be slow. It's going to feel like a recession even when it ends." [...] On a second stimulus: "I think there will be another one toward the end of the year. We need to have more shovel ready labor intensive infrastructure projects. We'll need it."
ReplyDeleteMost people don't realize that the policies of both parties complement each other. The Republicans will win the next election and build on the foundation that Obama has laid. Historia est vitae magistra!

ReplyDeleteSome very sad observations Mara, a sleeping dog revolution.
ReplyDelete"In July, Barack Obama, a Black president of African ancestry, went to Ghana to tell Africans that they should get over the Transatlantic Slave Trade. He told an audience in Ghana that "a colonial map that made little sense helped to breed conflict. The West has often approached Africa as a patron or source of resources rather than a partner. But the West is not responsible for the destruction of the Zimbabwean economy over the last decade or wars in which children are enlisted as combatants." He also blamed post-colonial Kenya for being riddled with "tribalism, patronage, nepotism and corruption." In doing so, he situated himself as a neo-colonial ideologue with no heart for the sufferings of his own people, an imperial lecturer hiding the U.S. role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the ongoing consequences for Blacks in the U.S. and throughout the world, and the ongoing U.S. crimes (through the CIA and World Bank) in assassinating post-independence African leaders and driving countries into debt peonage. He used the enormous good will of Black Americans and Africans who supported and elected him seeking civil rights and greater self-determination to position himself as a conscious, willful, opponent of the movements for reparations, African self-determination and human rights."
If you think this is bad, listen to the points brought out about what is going on in regard to Honduras, all wrapped up in this little less than an hour audio -

As was said before,
ReplyDeleteThere is much wingnut urinary incontinence over the $1 trillion cost of a proposed health care bill. How are we going to pay for it? What about the increase in the deficit it will cause? But don't forget to read the fine print. That $1 trillion? It's over a ten-year period. You know what costs $1 trillion every year? The "<span style="text-decoration: underline;">defense</span>" <span style="text-decoration: underline;">budget</span> that not only is doing nothing to "keep us safe" but in fact is doing precisely the opposite, not just for Americans but even more so (much more so) for people in targeted countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and more.
Executives and other highly compensated employees now receive more than one-third of all pay in the U.S., according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Social Security Administration data -- without counting billions of dollars more in pay that remains off federal radar screens that measure wages and salaries. The pay of employees who receive more than the Social Security wage base -- now $106,800 -- increased by 78%, or nearly $1 trillion, over the past decade, exceeding the 61% increase for other workers, according to the analysis. In the five years ending in 2007, earnings for American workers rose 24%, half the 48% gain for the top-paid. The result: The top-paid represent 33% of the total, up from 28% in 2002.(...) Social Security Administration actuaries estimate removing the earnings ceiling could eliminate the trust fund's deficit altogether for the next 75 years, or nearly eliminate it if credit toward benefits was provided for the additional taxable earnings.
ReplyDeleteMany running dogs of capitalism feel betrayed by capitalism. Did I read that in the LA Times?
ReplyDeleteMara, property rights and the judicial system in China have improved recently. The world can learn a thing or two from China. China is increasingly pro business and free market.
ReplyDeleteMara, the best way to reduce the US defense budget long term is to convince other countries to contribute more to the establishment of global public goods such as security.
ReplyDeleteSpecifically in Afghanistan, the world has to bite the bullet and commit to giving them $250 billion in grants over 20 years to pay for the ANA, ANP, and economic development. This would actually save taxpayers money in the long run. Americans might stop fighting the Takfiris, but the Afghans won't. 91% of Afghans oppose the Taliban, and Afghans are far more committed to the fight than Americans or almost anyone else. The Afghans will gladly fight the Takfiri, and keep the rest of the world safe, shedding their blood in the process.
Hahaha...I like it Jemmy...yes, anyone who isn't feeling particularly betrayed by our reckless experiment in capitalism is either in the top income percentile, or a Republican (and here I include the DINOs, Democrats In Name Only).
ReplyDeleteAnd Anand as usual gets it all wrong. (Who is surprised by this? *DONT_KNOW* ) The notion of doctors being ruined by fraudulent lawsuits is a fantasy concocted by insurance companies, and the reason people use emergency rooms "too much" is because they don't have health insurance, Bozo. It was your hero Dubya Bush who told them to do it, anway, the same guy who thought it was great that people worked three jobs and still couldn't afford basic medical care or all those fancy-dancy medications that you seem to think people have no business requesting (after all, it's just their health at stake here! Let them take Robitussin for everything, like in the Chris Rock routine, right??!)
What we need in America is a solid public option aka single-payer health care, PERIOD. And unfortunately, Obama is whipping up a dismal mish-mash of halfway "reform" measures that are going to end up being worse than no reform. His healthcare reform plan is crap, and it's going to be even more crap when the Republicans and the DINOs get done watering it down even further.
Nothing--NOTHING--can be done to fix healthcare in this country until we enter the 21st century like every other civilized country (you know, the same ones that denounce Israel) and get the health insurance companies out of the healthcare business.
But you can't say that in America -- attacking the insurance cos is the real "Third Rail" in American politics, not Social Security which Obama & Friends are all too happy to start thinking about pillaging.
Needless to say, I'm not buying.
ReplyDeleteWhat does that mean? Do you really believe that you don't benefit from the Afghans resisting Al Qaeda? Do you just want to free ride on the blood of Afghans?
ReplyDeleteMy God! Talk about bought and paid for by the Lawyers! Talk to a doctor!
ReplyDeleteSenator Kennedy yesterday said that too many people were visiting hospital emergency rooms too often.
I actually know people who visit hospital emergency rooms too often because they have good insurance or medicare and therefore don't care about the costs of their visits. Each small visit to a hospital can cost thousands of doctors.
Once my Dad was charged $28,000 for a two hour visit to a hospital (they conducted a test.) My Dad contested because he didn't feel it was fair to the insurance paying for it. Almost no one else ever does that.
Attacking Capitalism? Capitalism is what has enabled the Asian economic miracle. Capitalism allows technological innovation.
ReplyDeleteSocialism and Communism leads to gradual technological decay. Everyone gets poorer . . . together.
Mara, look up any of the scores of public opinion polls available for Afghanistan. All of them show deep hostility on the part of the Afghan people towards the Taliban, AQ and their allies. Much deeper than in the US by the way. Unfortunately the entire Afghan government only collects $600 million a year in tax revenue, which is much less than the annual afghan education budget, let alone the ANA, ANP, health care, infrastructure and economic development.
ReplyDeleteThe ANA and ANP have been doing a good job fighting the Taliban on a shoe string budget. They need more money. Remember that they are taking 4 to 5 times the casualties of the entire international security assistance force (ISAF) combined. More than 10 times the casualties as US GIs are taking. I challenge you to find anyone who would assert that the ANA isn't highly commited to winning this fight (their capacity is another matter.)
Keep repeating the mantra, Anandji.
ReplyDeleteListen you little shit, you know nothing about what has happened in China. Property rights have improved - for the few twit. Why do you post these things you mongrel?
ReplyDeleteNo, the name is Gunga Din for Anand Jemmy - and their not many as white as him
ReplyDeleteNo, the name is Gunga Din for Anand Jemmy - and there are not many as white as him, the little insufferable imperial cockroach
ReplyDeleteJemmy, do you really back the lawyers? I like the rest of the world, where patients cannot easily sue for malpractice. Why is it far easier for Americans to sue for malpractice than anywhere else on earth?
ReplyDeleteCapitalism: Free markets are the best way to fight poverty because the facilitate technological innovation. What other system has ever worked?
What part of "anti-war" do you not comprehend?
ReplyDeleteAre you a Sathya Graha practicing Gandhian? Gandhi said that nonviolence of thoughts was more important than nonviolence of deeds. He said that one had to love everyone including the person oppressing you with all your heart and soul; or else it was not nonviolence. Gandhi also said that the Jewish people during WWII should have implemented a form of collective suicide. Gandhi said that police should not use violence to stop an ongoing murder or rape. Rather the police officers (who Gandhi said should be unarmed) should practice sathya graha, and shame the violent individual to stop committing violence through their example.
ReplyDeletePacifists are a rare angels who walk among us. I rarely see them outside of India . . . in India there are many Gandhians.
It is said that to love without reason is divine. Loving all is Godly. This is why in the ancient Hindu and Buddhist stories, anger against one's enemy on the part of a fighter is always wrong. Rather, a true warrior loves the person they fight with all their heart and soul. Gandhi took this philosophy one step farther and demanded physical nonviolence instead of merely mental nonviolence.
In regard to housing in China -
ReplyDeleteWhen China took the road of capitalism, this polarization began to occur in a country that was very egalitarian - and now there is this growing wealth at the top and a grinding poverty for the peasants below. In 2006 Fortune they listed seven billionaires on mainland China and one in Hong Kong. A corruption begins to set in which unites party and state authorities, enterprise managers, with private entrepreneurs, and that brings about a capitalistic class - what I call the capitalistic aristocracy.
What happens next is a matter of course in all capitalistic countries, the working classes are strongly exploited - mind you, not like they have been in the last half-century of China. Millions of workers have been thrown out of state run jobs, having been PRIVATIZED - these work units were vital to the security of the people and consisted of housing, education, health care, etc. They have been transformed into PROFIT DRIVEN CORPORATIONS - and the corruption of the party authorities has been common in this exercise.
When rural communes were dissolved the country was thrown open to a global marketplace, and the villagers were thrown out of their dwellings with terrible compensation - and those properties were sold to rich developers (aka, capitalistic landed aristocracy). Hundreds of millions were devastated and were frantically searching for ways to make a decent living.
A massive migration started toward the cities to find work in construction and the factories, and there they found further exploitation with no remedy. The terrible working conditions, and the cramped living spaces gave way to terrible health problems (SARS was a capitalistic caused disease).
Quite frankly, whether you are aware of it or not (it's not your fault it is the corporate media) there have been almost countless protests and riots in China since the Tienamen Square incident. The economic boom which went on for a middle class managerial type is disintegrating, and class struggle is becoming more pronounced.
The protests and riots are becoming more and more radically violent, while an elite are fattening themselves and corrupt politicians feed off of them. Many are becoming aware - whether they be peasants, middle class, or even intellectuals that global capitalism is not the answer.
Everyone in China knows there has got to be a better way, and it certainly is not the way of uncontrolled global capitalism. MY ONLY QUESTION, WITH THIS PRIME EXAMPLE IS THIS - ARE WE, IN THE UNITED STATES, BECOMING AWARE OF THIS ALSO?
Go China!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy father was a pacifist, and a consicentious objector which took an awful lot of guts. As an ignorant youth, I was ashamed of it. As I became wiser, I came to embrace it.
ReplyDeleteDulce bellum inexpertis.
In regard to health care in China -
ReplyDeleteThere are reports that health care has deteriorated dramatically in China, and this has really happened over a period of years, in direct correlation to embracing a "free market." A couple of thousand people rioted at a hospital in Guangan after a grandfather brought in his grandson who had drank a poisonous pesticide, it is said that he was refused care because the grandfather did not have enough money to pay - he was refused treatment.
This is directly connected to Beijing's "pay as you go" policy, the new market friendly China. The grandfather did not have enough money to pay the fee, and the doctors told him to go home and raise more money, and the child died before the grandfather returned. There was a demand for compensation, but a paltry sum was offered. The family went to the municipal government to lodge a grievance, but were beaten by the security guards!
Are you beginning to see a parallel here between what takes place in the new darling of market freedom, China, and a deteriorating system which is becoming rapidly non affordable in the United States? So the protesters came and it turned violent, they broke windows and damaged hospital property. It is said that the policemen were in the streets yelling over loud speakers - "do not believe the rumors, trust your government."
The official story is that the physicians gave the boy care, pumped his stomach, and put him on a drip, but he died anyway....but this does not remove the intense hostility toward pro-market realities in matters that mean life and death at hospitals. "Pay first" was introduced into the market friendly China in the 1990's, in the United States it is "where is your insurance card?"
In the early years of the Chinese Revolution there was health care for all, it was introduced in 1949, and although it was fairly adequate life expectancy jumped from 35 years of age to 68. However, this all began to erode at the introduction of the "market reforms" of 79' and it is now a fond memory. As in all Capitalistic countries the wealth is in the hands of a few, and health care has become an unbearable cost along with education and housing in the "New China."
In fact, the only difference between China and the United States is that we have a rapidly disappearing middle class that has become expendable. There is still the concerted struggle to maintain what we possess, but I think you know that this is ebbing away at a faster rate every year. More people fall off that edge every year, poverty is on the rise and the rich are just getting richer.
cont'
ReplyDeleteIt is granted that China does not have the same historical background as the United States, not the same population growth, but it is here that you get a glimpse of what can happen when free market Capitalism is given somewhat free movement. We have the same making of this abysmal condition becoming more and more a reality every day, as corporations become the only "people" who get the ear of "our representatives." It is just a matter of time.
China ranks 181 out of 191 according to the WHO in equality of medical resources among a population of 1.3 billion. In 1980 the governments share was 40 percent, it has now dropped to 16%. There is a saying in China in regard to health care (see if this strikes any chords): "Once an ambulance siren wails, a pig is taken to the market; once a hospital bed is slept in, a year of farming goes down the drain; and when someone falls ill with a serious disease, 10 years of saving are whittled away." With the exorbitant expense of health care in the United States what would our saying be?
In China there is this massive gap widening between the rich and the poor. Two thirds of the health care goes to small rich urban areas, which leave 800 million people with very little basic health care. 80 percent of the public medical funding goes to a tiny privileged minority of 8.5 million people, 0.007 percent of the population! Hospitals are only for the rich.
Li Ling of Peking University describes the problem very well, see if this sounds familiar to you, she said rising medical costs are rooted in the fact that doctors and hospitals "rely more and more on profit," for their income. That leads to corruption, and kick-backs from drug companies.
In fact, there have been government price caps applied (19 times), but Li says that they just change the names on the packages, and than rise the prices again and again! Oh, this is getting to close to home - we have a pharmaceutical nightmare in the United States!
Here is the difference between people in China and the United States, they have THOUSANDS OF PROTESTS! Not only about health care, but because of social inequality, corruption in high places, and the lack of jobs. What goes on here in regard to these issues in the United States?
Here is a real irony for you, the first protest in front of the hospital we talked about was in the city of Guangan, that is where Deng Xaioping lives - he is the original architect of "market reform," he was the one who said all of these reforms would be good for everyone, how ironic. UNFETTERED CAPITALISM IS ABOUT AS GOOD FOR CHINA AS IT IS FOR THE UNITED STATES!
What does the above tell us Anand (excepts from articles I have written)? It tells us you know little about China, and quite frankly, combined with all of your other posts - you have a zero grasp about the condition of the people in the world.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, both of these articles were written in 2006 - uh oh...there goes that uncanny foresight again :)
ReplyDeleteOnly a fucking imbecile like you, who also seems to be a sociopath would cheer China with this track record. Your dad should take away your laptop and give you a rattle.
ReplyDeleterunning dogs of capitalism....I haven't heard that one in years. I love it.
