JoBParticipantkootch…
the top 1% have the lowest tax rate they have enjoyed in ages
and women are sitting around the campfire at Nickelsville wondering
where are the jobs?
and they aren’t the only one’s wondering
you would think you guys would find a new song to sing since this one is obviously not playing so well
July 25, 2012 at 1:13 am #762495
kootchmanMemberThe pay 38% of the taxes… and THAT does NOT include property, sales, and the other consumption taxes your conveniently neglected it include in your “effective tax rate”…. that’s almost 40 cent of every dollar… from only 1 per cent. I would send them a thank-you care. We don’t care about income disparity… we have a very very productive 10%… the most productive in the world. Now, here’s the key… we need to make the 90 per cent as productive, in the aggregate as the 10%…
to quote redblack…
why don’t you ever talk about voodoo economics? is that wealth ever going to trickle down? or are we just supposed to be satisfied with retail careers instead of skilled jobs?
You have to have a work force that is QUALIFIED to do skiled jobs. Aviation High is a start… some of those graduates are going to find great jobs in South Carolina.
Some wealth trickles down.. but I am not a trickle down theorist… or a confiscatory to parity adherent either… it’s all about productivity… how much value does a worker produce when supplied with the capital resources for a given job. If you dom’t have the skill sets to value add during your work shifts… then you compete against billions of other low skill set workers. It may also be a good time to reflect on this…. even a high skill set worker will sit idle if no one provides the capital. So stop chasing it offshore.
How many kids will graduate from the SPS this year, ready to program a high pressure waterjet cutter for custom machine part fabrication? None. Germany will graduate hundreds. How many SPS students will graduate, ready and able to diagnose the circuitry integrity of the logic boards the run a plasma cutter? None. Taiwain will pump hundreds out the door. Hell dude, we can’t graduate 50% that can read at the “proficient” level. Easy to blame the 1%…. they are small in number and it sounds good, and diverts attention from the core problem. How many SPS teachers even “know” what a plasma cutter is? Or even teach what a plasma gas containment field does in the presence of an electric arc? we graduate a lot of “Target” and “wal Mart” ready kids though.

redblackParticipantThe pay 38% of the taxes… and THAT does NOT include property, sales, and the other consumption taxes your conveniently neglected it include in your “effective tax rate”…. that’s almost 40 cent of every dollar… from only 1 per cent.
that’s because they have most of the country’s wealth and income. what? you think because they’re only 1% of the population that they should only pay 1% of government revenue?
even if you had your little flat tax, they’d still pay 38% of government revenue.
You have to have a work force that is QUALIFIED to do skiled jobs. Aviation High is a start… some of those graduates are going to find great jobs in South Carolina.
…for far less wages and benefits than they would make in washington state.
so when reagan really got all of this free trade madness rolling, we didn’t have the most skilled industrial work force on the planet? you’re saying that corporate america hasn’t given away pretty much all of our best technology?
the reason germany doesn’t have tariffs against china is that they have something the u.s. hasn’t had for 40 years:
a positive trade balance. no tariffs necessary.
but at least we have cheap underwear, huh?
July 25, 2012 at 3:24 pm #762497
kootchmanMemberUh uh .. stop be a revisonist… you know Clinton signed all those trade agreements with China, NAFTA etc.. it wasn’t RR. Cost of living … to move from Columbia SC… and making 54K per year… you would have to make 72,400 in Seattle,… pack up the station wagon! No we didn’t… Germany did and does. we didn’t send high skill jobs offshore… we sent high skill production equipment offshore so they could use unskilled labor. Germany makes the machines and the high value robotics, and gear cutting mills. Exactly redblack now you are getting it! Germany has a higher skillset, better educated, more literate worker…AND they don’t confiscate offshore earnings. We educate Wal Mart workers… and buy Japanese or German designed cash registers assembled in China so our low skill workers can use them.
July 25, 2012 at 3:29 pm #762498
kootchmanMemberOnly if they made 38% of the income.

DBPMemberSorry for taking so long getting back to you on this, kootch.
So . . . based on my research, I would say your claim about longer wait times for doctor appointments in Massachusetts is true. Wait times in Boston now appear to have become the longest in the nation, and this has coincided with the advent of RomneyCare.
However, as far as I can tell, no one has done any research to determine exactly why wait times have increased so dramatically there. Oh, we can make some educated guesses, but absent hard data, they would be just that: guesses. In any case, here are a few of the POSSIBLE causes:
► Maybe doctors are dropping out of the system for legitimate reasons. Maybe the system really IS too complicated and costly for doctors, like you (kootch)said.
► Maybe doctors are dropping out of the system for political reasons. Maybe they WANT RomneyCare to fail. Or maybe they think they’re entitled to get rich and RomneyCare is crimping their style.
► Maybe there simply aren’t enough doctors in Massachusetts to handle the increased load. If that’s true, then the Massachusetts experience will probably be repeated on the national level.
► Maybe it’s some combination of the above.
If we could track down the reason(s) for the increased wait times in Mass., then we would be better able to either figure out how to (a) fine tune RomneyCare/ObamaCare or decide to (b) scrap the whole system and go back to the drawing board.
In the meantime, I’m supporting ObamaCare. I’m poor, and as far as I’m concerned, a 45-day wait time for a doctors appointment is STILL better than no appointment at all.
(Up next: How to encourage doctors to support the new system. Or . . . how to keep them from sabotaging it.)
July 27, 2012 at 5:42 am #762500
kootchmanMemberwell we can start the body count now. As of this week, NAIB… because of the coverage until age 26, the cost of the expanded entitlements, over 60,000 businesses have dropped … dependent insurance in its entirety. Because of the increased costs of having to cover all the mandates… over 500 colleges have dropped student health insurance entirely. Some, are doing so for religious objections.
From the National Review
The predictable result: Companies are dropping dependent coverage altogether. Among them is one of the largest union-administered health-insurance funds in New York, SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, which is now dropping dependent coverage for 30,000 workers. Ironically, the fund had previously covered nearly 6,000 workers’ children, some up to age 23. Those students, along with other spouses and children, are now out of luck.
For example, Lenoir-Rhyne University of Hickory, N.C., the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Wash., and Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, are all dropping school-sponsored plans starting in the fall. The colleges said that Obamacare’s regulations would have driven up students’ premiums tenfold. And, Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kan., was forced to raise the premium on the plan it offered students from $445 to more than $2,000 to pay for the new level of coverage required by the health-care law.
WHAT? Obamacare was supposed to lower costs and increase access. Hope you have no dependents.. DBP. Will Obama fun out and tell you… shucks we just added $2,000 more per year to rising tuition costs? You bought the bumper sticker sales job.
NOTHING ever was, ever will be free. Someone pays. SEIU members could ill afford that hit… those are the hotel, food and beverage workers… not the top of the pay scale. They have to go into the pool … or pay 10& or more of their wages.
Doctors.. most of them basically give up a decade of their lives to become doctors. They miss the “roaring 20’s” to become doctors. Not at all uncommon to see them with 200K medical school debt. They also have to pay 100 to 300K a year in malpractice insurance.. depending on speciality… yet I was derided for suggesting tort reform HAS to be part of lowering healthcare costs. You ignored the providers themselves.
Now we can assume the very best and brightest go to medical school… and if they are NOT compensate to their expectation.. we will mint newer, smarter, economics and business majors to do battle with the federal government. In that survey, doctors ARE leaving MA to practice elsewhere, I don’t see a vast conspiracy… I see some rational economic decisions.. something Obamacare didn’t consider.
Here’s one for ya… pre med students are flocking to veterinary programs… because it is non=regulated. you don’t need malpractice insurance because if ya kill a horse.. the damages are property damages… the value of the horse.. $ 1,000 bucks, not 20 million in pain and suffering, punitive damages, and lawyer fees…
Now… the damn ACA hasn’t even been implemented yet… and the middle class, lower middle class and the poor are getting the shaft and the costs shifted.
Repeal dude.. and replace .. in increments to see what actually works in the market … and next time don’t slam the door shut and tell us we have to sign before we can see it. Keep on supporting it …. but do tell us how you intend to see it all paid for.
“In 1850, the French economist Frederic Bastiat wrote “That Which Is Seen and That Which Is Not Seen,” in which he noted that, while politicians liked to trumpet the visible benefits of their largess, there were often unseen costs and consequences that resulted from those policies.
It is a lesson that politicians should heed today”

Go back to the beginning… where we did have consensus…. where both parties agreed healthcare needed fixing.. and start to listen to every idea from both sides of the aisle. We also agree the tax code needs an overhaul.. but… it won’t happen unless we reach compromise. None of the taxes have even hit yet! Now..pretend you were a small business owner…. plan for growth and expansion in this environment. Plan your tax and hiring environment. Ignore the small businesses ,,,,
Yea…and take on education reform too… government to too big dude… and you all want it to get bigger… more regulatory laden, more vulnerable to WFA.
Start over dude,.. it was a mistake… even the bilge rat is not well served when the ship sinks.

redblackParticipantwhat? who cares? those jobs left this state for right-to-work country.
we’re racing to the bottom for american wages and benefits, and you’re cheering them on.
Go back to the beginning… where we did have consensus…. where both parties agreed healthcare needed fixing.. and start to listen to every idea from both sides of the aisle.
you mean “start to listen to the insurance industry tell us what regulation they will or won’t tolerate.”
for almost 20 years, republicans have had multiple instances to address health care insurance reform, and they ignored every one. they stood and watched – actually, they didn’t watch – as health care and insurance consumed more and more of our GDP. (think that might have something to do with boehner playing golf with insurance company executives?)
so democrats did it and you get all high and mighty. but go ahead and keep saying obamacare, keep spreading that misinformation, and get the ACA reforms and regulations repealed. real smart.
July 27, 2012 at 8:58 pm #762503
kootchmanMemberThe insurance industry wrote the bill.. AARP, Kaiser, et al were all on board with Obamacare. They saw restricted compensation rates set for doctors..loved it. Rationed care..loved it. Federally estabished standard of care, loved it (that;s what doctors are for). Our GDP expenditure is irrelevant… we have access to the best technology in the world… I love our healthcare system. Those are data sets dude… not misinformation, Only here would data be considered misinformation. You might not like it… but if your doc days your leg is broken..it’s not misinformation, it’s bad news.
July 27, 2012 at 9:09 pm #762504
DBPMemberYou make some valid points, kootch. Wish I didn’t have to wade through so much flak to find them . . .
>>Doctors.. most of them basically give up a decade of their lives to become doctors. They miss the “roaring 20’s” to become doctors.
—Maybe this is part of the problem. Does it really take 10 years of school to become a competent internist? I’m skeptical.
If I go to the internist with headaches, you know what he’s gonna do? He’s gonna take my pulse (or an LPN is gonna take my pulse, actually), and then he’s gonna tell me: “You need to see a neurologist.”
Ka-ching! $150.
And for that, he needed 10 years of school?
July 27, 2012 at 9:18 pm #762505
DBPMember>>Not at all uncommon to see [new doctors] with 200K medical school debt. They also have to pay 100 to 300K a year in malpractice insurance.. depending on speciality… yet I was derided for suggesting tort reform HAS to be part of lowering healthcare costs. You ignored the providers themselves.
—Hey, you weren’t derided by ME for suggesting tort reform. I favor it, too.
And this 200K med school debt thing is important, because that’s one way we could probably get a lot of doctors to volunteer for the program. Or at least, we could keep them from running away.
Let’s take young Dr. Young. He’s got 200K in college debt and is thinking about bugging out of the program. We say: “OK. You stay in the program for 5 years. Presto! Your debt is gone. Disappeared.”
Hopefully, at the end of those 5 years, he’ll see that it’s not such a bad deal after all. And in that same time, a lot of the bugs will be worked out. (Hopefully.)
You could do the same thing with malpractice insurance. Let’s say old Dr. Young is shelling out 100K+ per year for malpractice. We tell him: “You stay in the program, we put you in a statewide insurance pool. Your malpractice insurance is covered completely. Sure, if you screw up three times, your license is still gonna get yanked, just like on the outside. But as long as you stay in the program, you won’t ever have to worry about insurance again.”
July 27, 2012 at 9:54 pm #762506
kootchmanMemberHence the need to start over. Look, our tax code has fewer pages than Obamacare. Is this the future of healthcare? 250,000 pages of regulations and years of adding modifier, riders, exceptions… etc. We tried your incentives before… Docs had their tuition paid for to serve in underserved communities… and it failed…why? No oversight, Docs left the rural communities after a year or two, or never reported for duty… that was probably a 5 page bill… and he government lost control of it. Again economic thought is more rationale. Now, my grandfather, uncle, and three cousins all practiced or practice rural medicine… (gramps was the dean of a major Univ dental college) most of their lives. Two od my cousins went back to law school… and have malpractice clients! So now.. the federal government is going to carry malpractice insurance on their behalf… how’s that working? Seen the lawsuits being settled by Seattle and WA state for their social services? Oh boy! A bigger pinata’ ….!!!! …For Democratic donors.. trial lawyers.
Have you seen the doctor audit program by Obamacare? Now they have to wade through .. 300,000 pages of regulations to file their taxes and comply with health care laws. I thought “do no harm” was sufficient. That’s the price of taking over 1/5th of the US economy? Dude look at public education… see how sclerotic that is? The alternate parallel universe of private schools is doing fine. we put the most innovative, adaptable, medical system in the world on bureacratic speed? Shift that industry overseas too?
Rasmussen today
69% Think Competition Between Health Insurers Better for Consumers Than More Government Regulation
July 27, 2012 at 10:57 pm #762507
DBPMember>>We tried your incentives before… Docs had their tuition paid for to serve in underserved communities… and it failed…why?
—What? Evidence, please. When I was at the state Department of Health, I worked with a similar program (for foreign doctors whose visas were expiring), and it was doing just fine. If doctors skipped out before the contract expired, they’d be deported. It could work the same way with college debt: You skip out, you pay your debt, plus interest. Not rocket science.
>>So now.. the federal government is going to carry malpractice insurance on their behalf . . .
—No. I can see you don’t understand how insurance pools work. Damages and legal fees are capped, and the whole process is streamlined. Michigan and a couple of other states already have this. Check it out. Again, not rocket science.
But you know what? I’m starting to get the feeling that no matter how hard I try to engage with you on this, you’ll just keep throwing up roadblocks.
Tell you what. Why don’t you just save us both a lot of time by admitting it right now: You are philosophically opposed to the idea of public health care, and you’re not going to change your position no matter what compromises are offered and no matter what evidence is presented.
C’mon, kootch. You can do it.
Just say it . . . “I hate public health care.”
July 28, 2012 at 12:00 am #762508
miwsParticipantHence the need to start over.
And wait how many more friggin’ decades to get affordable care?
Mike
July 28, 2012 at 12:25 am #762509
DBPMemberMike, you’ve been following this debate. Do you recall when kootch said that it should be up to the states to decide on health care?
Then what was the very next thing out of his mouth?
“Massachusetts isn’t working! Scrap it.”
And honestly, what do you think he’d say if a handful of other states had public health care?
Aw . . . you already know, dontcha?
Scrap it!
Scrap it!
Scrap it!
And as for other countries, where it’s actually working?
Scrap it!
Scrap it!
Scrap it!
So it turns out that kootch really isn’t in favor of ANYONE having public health care. And especially not Washingtonians. And this whole “let the states decide” thing was really just a stalling tactic — something to make him look reasonable, like he was actually interested in alternatives. But then, when you start pitching alternatives to him, he shoots them down one by one.
Pew!
Pew!
Pew!
See, kootch is like a tube of toothpaste. Push him down in one spot and he simply oozes out in another.
July 28, 2012 at 2:11 am #762510
kootchmanMemberI am fine with MA to keep on keeping on. I didn’t presume to say MA scrap it… if they are happy with diminished care.. go for it. However, I have a say if it is a national policy as it affects me. You created a false argument. Shame on you. The notion of 50 experiments leads me to believe we will have failures and successes to compare. I give you as an example… AIDS research… we had multiple vectors of experimentation,… not one. The results? It is no longer the absolute death sentence.
Too complicated? go fly fishing… if you aren’t getting strikes, you switch the lure, size, color, even at times the type of line.
Yes. I would imagine the foreign doctors would stay in the United States. The too have multiple choices and experience to choose from. Their quality of life from their country of origin and this one.
MA is the “model” for Obamacare… it has serious flaws.. but what do we do..? Imitate it, expand it, nationalize it. Stupid!
Under your scenario… if AIDS research took one approved government track… we’d be nowhere. Slap on more leeches by god… it has to work at some point.
You would do well to read the quest to map the human genome project. There was an NIH government protocol underway and a private research effort. The both swapped data.. shared results.. but who tok it to the finish line? Hint: It wasn’t NIH I am not suggesting that we can NIH… or scrap it.
Come in admit it… you are on the receiving end of an entitlement and that ends the discussion. Sit, shake, roll over.. good boy… here’s your biscuit. There now that we have traded insults get back to the discussion at hand.
July 28, 2012 at 2:22 am #762511
miwsParticipantJuly 28, 2012 at 2:27 am #762512
kootchmanMemberNow, I will discuss the issue as an adult would. There is a robust argument in education. Rural life is a culture, not a diminished one, a different one. Similarly so is urban life. Do our doctors come from these areas? Some. But, most doctors come from excellent school systems, which do not represent these cultures. It gets to JV’s excellent argument.. we need to overhaul our school system to insure that we are harvesting from every income strata and culture. My experience is, there are many folks who do not migrate out of rural cultures, or migrate out of inner city or large urban centers and head for “Bellevue” Medina, Mercer Island, .. they are comfortable and understand that culture. Something to consider.. education reform. Intelligence is not the strict preview of any culture or class… but the ability to get into med school had EVERYTHING to do with educational outcomes. If we draw our intelligencia from a narrow, privileged culture.. they will more likely than not, reflect the culture from whence they came. I would personally prefer we train our own that use H-1 visas …
May I suggest?

Yes that republican suggestion that malpractice be capped… dropped like a hot potato by Democrats… nothing to do with it. Trial lawyers are Democratic faithful. Obamacare was crafted to not be a program of courage or innovation.. the boundry line was satisfying political constituents. That is why to your distress… MOST American want the program repealed. Still.
July 28, 2012 at 6:31 am #762513
kootchmanMemberHow may decades? I dunno we have come almost 240 year without it… the day of our founding the average life expectancy was 30… in large measure, the increased life span of the entire western world can say it was the large contributions of the USA system of medicine that improved the life of billions. I am not ready to cram all that into a government “How To” book cobbled together by politicians in locked rooms with big agendas and interest groups to serve. Tell. ya if was such a uniformly popular program, with the ringing endorsement of public… I haven’t seen one Senator running on the strength of their vote and damn few congressspersons. In fact POTUS has run from taking credit or talking about the issue. why is that?
It tried to pander to so many.. now it looks like yet another segment is going to be declared unconstitutional…. the fifty per cent who said don’t tread on religious freedoms… oh good god.. it was a full blown war on women! Looks like this is a massive gutting.. not only do churches and faith institutions have a legitimate claim… so it seems, do individuals. No commerce or federal law is going to survive a challenge of religious freedom.
(Reuters) – A Colorado business owned by a Catholic family does not have to comply with President Barack Obama’s new healthcare mandate that private employers provide employees with insurance coverage of birth control, a Colorado federal judge ruled on Friday.

July 28, 2012 at 3:08 pm #762514
redblackParticipantOur GDP expenditure is irrelevant… we have access to the best technology in the world…
define “we.”
Hence the need to start over.
the problem is, republicans didn’t want to start at all. we wouldn’t even be talking about the criminally high cost of access to medicine in america if democratic leaders in congress hadn’t pulled some slick procedural moves.
we’re not starting over. we’re going to make this better, with the goal of ensuring that everyone in this country at least has the opportunity to see a doctor without having to give up other necessities to get it.
this isn’t like buying a car, and it isn’t like buying car insurance – and a drunken mechanic isn’t going to accidentally leave his wrist watch in your chest cavity. there’s a risk of killing someone that goes with medical practice – you know, an actual living, breathing human being who might have a family to support – hence the high insurance premiums for medical malpractice, and the high payouts to the victims of malpractice.
you want to cap lawyers’ fees at a percentage? fine. but i won’t sit idly by while you cap the damages because the doctors and hospitals are sniveling. no effing way.
i mean, you guys claim to be pro-life, but as others before me have pointed out, once that fetus becomes a baby, your attitude seems to be that it’s on its own.
July 28, 2012 at 3:24 pm #762515
kootchmanMemberAll of us.. we have many posters on the blog, with no health insurance getting world class medicine, .. with technologies and medications not even close to being available in other countries. Thee are moe CAT scans in Seattle that all of Canada,, and if you are in a car accident and airlifted to Swedish,,, and are indigent you will get one.
Again… 69% Think Competition Between Health Insurers Better for Consumers Than More Government Regulation and the majority of American want it repealed.
Dude the program won’t stand.. every financial model is breaking down,… 40% of the states aren’t going to play… and now the ruling in Colorado says.. not just faith institutions… but individuals can act from religious freedoms and not cover abortions, contraceptives, and RU 238 type drugs. It’s very complexity insures challenges and constitutional rulings.. remember the Supreme Court did not uphold the underpinnings of the act… the commerce clause. Now, if Obama can issue executive orders to belay acts of Congress… so can the next president… and then there is the issue of … the budget. Congress will not simply not appropriate the funds.. to HHS… we have a thousand ways to kill it. And we will use them all. All it is now is a tax. That does not make it very durable. Congress can repeal taxes without a 60 vote majority.
July 28, 2012 at 3:48 pm #762516
DBPMemberThanks for the continued support, redblack. I agree with everything you say . . . except . . .
you want to cap lawyers’ fees at a percentage? fine. but i won’t sit idly by while you cap the damages because the doctors and hospitals are sniveling. no effing way.
—So are you willing to let people go without medical care in order to protect someone’s theoretical right to get a multi-million dollar damages settlement? That’s a bad trade-off.
This goes beyond the issue of Obamacare. There is evidence of doctor shortages in those specialties where malpractice rates are highest (example: OB-GYN). What does that tell you?
And in countries where public health care exists, damages (and doctor salaries) are capped. What does that tell you?
If unlimited liability led to better medical care, then theoretically we would have the best care on earth. But we don’t have the best care on earth, in spite of what kootchman claims.* What we do have, though, is extremely high malpractice rates and an extremely prosperous lawyer class.
Don’t believe me? Check out the Yellow Pages sometime.
*******************************************************************************************
*kootchman types define “best medical care in the world” as lots of artificial knees, triple bypasses, and next-day MRIs.
I define it as the easiest access to basic health services for the greatest number of people.
July 28, 2012 at 4:14 pm #762517
redblackParticipantSo are you willing to let people go without medical care in order to protect someone’s theoretical right to get a multi-million dollar damages settlement?
i’m willing to let people not get butchered by people who may or may not know what they’re doing.
that’s why they have trials.
but without doing journalist-level research on the subject, i can’t explain the high rate of malpractice suits against OB-GYN, no. (i would hypothesize that it may have something to do with the fact that fetuses and babies are involved, that OB-GYN oversees the tenuous connection between a mother and the fruit of her loins, that the lives of fetuses and babies are fragile whether they’re in the womb or without, and that people tend to get very emotional when fetuses and babies are involved. and that bad things can happen to good people – and potential people – whether they’re born or not, and that someone who has lost a fetus or a child is likely looking for someone or something to blame.)
the fact that other countries have capped damages tells me that they probably have strong governments and heavy regulation around medical practice. and that they won’t let their citizens suffer on the streets if they get wronged by a bumbling doctor.
not so in america.

—So the claim is that unlimited lawsuits are an effective substitute for government regulations. If that’s true, then lawsuits should be having the same effect as good regulations, no? In other words, doctors should be getting more careful all the time, and lawsuits should gradually be tapering off.
And is that happening?
