You’re completely missing the irony of this statement. I’ve given actual data. You’re just talking like a fox news drone. The portion of a doctors pay as it relates to medical liability expenditures as a cause for our expensive health care IS IRRELEVANT. Doctors pay only account for 8% of total health care expenditures. So you’re focusing on something that is a fraction of a fraction of our entire costs.
One more time for the people in the back.
$55 billion.
That is the total for medical liability expenditures. $170 per capita. Out of $10,700 per capita. 1.6%.
You’re really going to move the needle with that, Sire.
If we eliminated all of our medical liability costs, EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR, it’d bring us down from $10,700 to $10,530. The rest of the world has a median cost of like $4,500.
What the ■■■■ does this even mean? I’ve been fed the actual cost of things? Are you saying those are made up numbers? It’s not a fact that doctors pay makes up 8% of all health care expenditures? It’s not a fact that all medical liability costs come out to be $55 billion?
Do you ever want to make a post that’s not full of hyperbole, Trump supporters?
I guess not.
Posts like this highlight that more and more every day that a shared reality is becoming more and more impossible.
It’s scary really…that people actually can wrap themselves in an unreality bubble and fully and truly believe it.
I’ll join the chorus of voices that say that the Dems are not… repeat, NOT…advocating for total ownership of everything by the government. They are pushing for more social spending than you obviously want, but NOT total pure socialism.
I say this knowing all the while it won’t even make a dent in your unreality bubble…but maybe SOME other posters’ unreality bubbles aren’t as powerful as yours.
Perhaps he means tort reform? That was one of right wing media’s alternative talking points used to try to offer an alternative to Obamacare. “Sell across state lines, tort reform” was what they kept offering as the R alternative.
The repeated bleating of “we need a tort system” indicates a fundamental lack of understanding of what tort means.
There are direct and indirect results from different actions. Those that are attempting to secure their income…LAWYERS…do not want every expense computed in this data that will affect that income…period. You’re accurate…as usual… in repeating what you’ve been fed but the food is tainted.
“The truth”, eh? That’s what you think you’re offering? You’ve literally provided zero facts to back up anything. The only thing you’ve offered is that the hidden, super shadowy costs of lawyers is what’s making our system the most expensive one in the world. Without evidence. I mean, if it’s a hidden cost, how do you know it’s what’s making our system so expensive?
And you current employ in a government-propped industry allows you to have keen insight into all the different ways “they” mask healthcare costs, right?
