Assange has to be sipping champagne right now. It's apparently for a new investigation according to Comey. Worst case scenario is she gets elected and then indicted as president. Already the republicans are pouncing. -The new investigation is a result of the FBI looking into none other than anthony Weiner's sexting, lol.

Gfted1 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I would like access to the $156 million pissbucket, please. I doubt that these are the only people in the company making massive salaries while the results continue to get worse and worse for the American people. If my kids got worse and worse every year, then yeah, I'd lose my job. If you honestly think its peoples salaries that have broken our healthcare system then I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you honestly think its peoples salaries that have broken our healthcare system then I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I'm not saying it is the salaries alone that are breaking the system. I'm saying it is villainous for these people to reap massive profits off the broken system when they are supposed to be in a position to fix it. They are profiting at our expense. We don't have any choice in the matter, either. Auto insurance has to serve their customers because it is a competitive market and it is fairly easy to jump ship. That is not the case in medical insurance. The customer is in a bad position that only gets worse once you actually need it most. As a comparison, the CEO of Geico makes $1.7 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you honestly think its peoples salaries that have broken our healthcare system then I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. 'For profit' is the problem*, and salaries are inextricably tied to that since they are linked to profits. Salaries are a symptom rather than the cause, but they're a direct consequence of the fundamental problem due to performance bonuses and the like which are based only on profit made and which encourage the CEOs to only take that into account. *It's fine in most circumstances, but with healthcare it provides a rubbish service at a high price because the onus is to make money rather than treat people effectively. The temptation will always be to jettison anyone who starts costing you money and to emphasise the cheapest option rather than the most effective. And because the insurers tend to act as a cartel you don't even get the competitive benefits a capitalist service is meant to give. Private insurers here are cheaper and offer better services than in the US, ironically, because they do have to compete- with a mostly free (albeit limited for elective stuff) government run service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadySands Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) If she is actually indicted either before or after the election but before Jan 20 2017 wouldn't Obama just pardon her? And if/when she wins and takes office could she pardon herself?

Pidesco Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hold up, the system is broke and people are "villians" over the 157.6M they made? R00FLES! The system is broke and healthcare providers are villains because private citizens pay more money out of pocket for healthcare than about any other western country, and in addition to that the government spends more per capita on healthcare than about any other country in the world with free healthcare. At the same time Americans also have the worst health outcomes of the western world by a significant margin.

Zoraptor Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) At the same time Americans also have the worst health outcomes of the western world by a significant margin. That's... arguable, at best. If you take west as OECD then the US is ahead of at least Turkey, which probably counts as 'west' since its OECD and NATO (and Australia, NZ, Japan would usually be counted as part of the west, and we're far more east than Turkey is). The most usually cited WHO list also has the US ahead of New Zealand and ROK, for example, but it's old data plus see below. There's also massive differences in how 'quality' or 'outcomes' is measured, if you have an unlimited budget for treatment the US is probably the best place to be sick. If you exclude people who cannot afford healthcare/ only use emergency rooms then the situation of the US improves dramatically, if you weight results towards high end treatment then the US does a lot better as well. If you use a per capita basis and focus on things like prevention and cost/ benefit the US does poorly despite its good high end because its low end is... poor, as when you have people using expensive emergency treatments once they're already seriously ill and suchlike. But in any case, that's why quality of healthcare data sets are pretty inconsistent between each other. In most cases where treatment is actually received the US actually provides top 10 healthcare in absolute terms and is ahead of many/ most western countries- it's the selective supply that's the problem and many (not me personally, but I do think it's a valid argument just one I disagree with) would say that that is a separate issue from quality/ outcomes of the system itself. There's no way Obola's DOJ would ever indict her, I'm certain of that. Not sure what game Comey is playing, may be trying to recover whatever shreds of his integrity are left. Edit: Carlos Danger strikes again: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/28/fbi-reopens-investigation-into-clinton-email-use.html Actual indictment is irrelevant for election purposes though, as she can't/ wouldn't be indicted in less than two weeks. And there isn't much Comey can do to ensure indictment/ prevent a post investigation whitewash himself; that's up to the prosecutor/ AG and whatever integrity she may have or not have. FWIW, I had to agree with his initial report in that while I have little doubt that Hillary did stuff which was illegal, and did so deliberately, it would be impossible to prove it in a court.

Thankfully, I haven't gone to the hospital at all as an adult (though I pro0bably should). I mean, FOR SPAGHETTI SAKES, our 'FREE' health care system makes you pay for an ambulance. HOLY MUK SNOTZ. And, don't go to a different province than you are double scared. Then, there's the coinstant cutbacks , layoffs, and not enough equipment for our hospitals because our gov't can't afford it despite our taxes. And, this is public service not private where you could understand being worried about profits. LMAO 'Bets' helath care system'. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
