many 10x better than the actual doctors you could see.

Can we get a full list of occupations where those with 1/10th training and experience with significantly lower standards end up being much better?

re: Healthcare- the next great debate

Healthcare, like education, has an admin problem. The USA already spends more per capita on healthcare than any other country, by a lot. Most of it goes towards bullshite bureaucracy and leeches. Admins playing shell games with how much your care actually costs and pulling a paycheck for it. Get rid of all that inefficiency between the hospitals and the insurance companies and the cost goes down.

This guy knows what he's talking about. Nothing drives up cost of health care like useless healthcare administrators.

I am a capitalist. I struggle though when it comes to profit motive for healthcare. I’ve had some experience that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe some of you have as well. I also think there’s room for a profit in the system. Comes down to need vs want.

I will say....doctors are the one profession who are often expected (even required) to work for free. I've done so a bunch and will do so more in the future. But it's not always sustainable.

re: Trump: H1B necessary because Americans lack talent

The average American doesn’t have what it takes to make it through pre med in college, much less medical school which is 10x harder.

Correct, and thats a good thing. The “average American” should not be able to make it through med school and residency. If so, it’s not challenging enough.

Is your argument that there are more foreign IMGs in more competitive fields than in, let’s say, family medicine? Oh boy…..

Welcome to a Placekicker thread. Everyone is just a link to a tweet in the OP without legit sourcing. Seriously, look at his thread history. I can’t believe people keep falling for this (jk can totally believe it—most posters here are idiots).

Seems like a lot, but a lot of this is standard lab work that PCPs get here that only takes a couple of vials of blood. Of which insurance will cover most of it.

I'm convinced we stopped looking for a gay gene for this very reason.

The term “gay gene” is just the dumbest phrase ever. As if there is some single, Mendelian inherited gene that controls something so complex :lol:

We stopped looking bc it’s not something that would ever be found. Why not look for the “college football fan” gene while we’re at it….

Well, the NFL has been growing. Yet these threads are always filled with PB posters proudly proclaiming how they no longer watch the NFL. So why be bothered by choices like this? Seems like the NFL isn’t worried about “winning” you guys back :lol:

So you are admitting you are no longer part of the target demographic. Yet you are still upset at who the NFL has chosen for their SB halftime show? Do you understand how little sense that makes?

It’s like me being upset that Disney on Ice brought out Ms Rachel during one of their shows. I’m sure Disney won’t GAF what I think, and for good reason :lol:

re: I decided about two years ago that I would completely avoid liberals.

I blocked their numbers. I blocked the number of my liberal neighbor who lives next door to me. After about a month, he stopped by my house and knocked on the door. I went to the door and he saw me through the glass. He waived at me and said, “Just wanted to check on you.” I didn’t open the door. I turned around and went upstairs. I haven’t heard from him since.

You sound like a douche, and it seems like you had a pretty caring neighbor. And you just cut them off because you disagree with their politics. Couldn’t imagine living life like this, but to each their own. I hope you never need anything from your neighbor in the future :dunno:
