Good grief. Как и кремлевских чиновников – американских левачков шантажировали конторские хакеры по причине неблаговидных операций с баблишком. Те пилят на поцтреотах, эти – на антитрамперах. Одно радует – не соскучиться же.

Date: 2017-03-12 05:13 am (UTC)This seems to be the plan:
The guy who was drawing some realistic/detailed repeal plans in the past – then-representative Tom Price, nowdays HHS Secretary Tom Price – says there is no realistic alternative and that he is for this "TrumpCare/Ryancare/ObamaCare Lite". Naturally, Speaker Ryan and President Trump (New York Democrat, for most of it) are for this mini-abomination as well.
This is a bit thermodynamic a thing to me, sort of not unlike the proverbial pink potassium permanganate solution. No deterministic (e.g., Newtonian) law bars a glass of pink potassium permanganate solution from becoming plain water and crystals. However, that never happens in real life as the system tends to stay in a macro state which is implementable by more micro-states (and most micro-states in the system correspond to the pink water, not white water and crystals) as opposed to fewer micro-states (the entropy growth law). So while the complete repeal is not technically completely impossible – I really don't see it happening. There is only one micro-state that corresponds to a macro state of a "complete repeal", and so many micro states that are some sort of Obamacare Lite by Trump/Ryan...

Date: 2017-03-12 09:46 pm (UTC)Why no one talks about, let's say, modifying mandate by extending the term of "health insurance" to everything (such as clinic/med. pool membership or any other form of contract that implies delivery of healthcare services?
Why no one talks about mandating only catastrophic insurance, again, with extending of a term "insurance" to some type of contacts for emergency /catastrophic even care?
Speaking of costs: no one talks about even remote opportunity for ordering drugs eleewhere even "Canadian pharnacy" is all over the internet. A lot of people use it as we talk.
No one talks about medical tourism ignoring the fact that medical tourism is multimillion dollar industry. All of above are the strong factors for reducing the price.
Why no one talks about reducing requirements for medical school applicants to a degree, let' say, they much with those who came here to the US after graduating overseas?
Why no one talks about extending functions and priveleges for Nurse Practitioners and PAs, so they can perform the most of routine tasks?
The mandate and tax is not the same as paying for your own health services. How installment of new mandates among with forcing people to pay via taxation rather then directly to provider could create reasonable market for our healthcare?
When and where taxation helped with developing healthy market taht offers a lot of choices driving the price down?
I think, any attempt for mandating/taxing will deliver nothing but single payer "universal" (read -no choice) socialized medicine.
This already happened to education, it happened exactly the same way. It was not too long ago that US schools were one of the best in the world til tghe school got centralized.
I know there may be a lot of noise repealing Obamacare. I know, we won't come back to Bush era, we are not trying to go back, we just try not to go Euro/canadian way.

Date: 2017-03-13 02:08 am (UTC)Now, does any socialist system has such a set that does not contradicts pretty much any other system?
By the way, not just the socialist system is built that way. For example, fundamental islam does exactly the same.
The "hybrid" is observable in Europe as well as in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Egypt...
While Jude-Christian system is set to "co exist" the fundamental islam uses such constraints put on JC in order to blow it away.
Why the same process won't start as soon as we try for hybrid health?

Date: 2017-03-13 10:10 am (UTC)I really do not have any preference for one group that tend to break the American system over another. While commies (contemporary Dems) try destroying it by implementing free stuff by the "will of XYZ" who sets up the mandate or yet another fans of implementation by will in a sake of capitalism.
Implementations by will do not work on a long run, sometimes it does not work even on medium one either.

2. Pro-Beijin Maoists
3. Allahuakbars (as in Malaysia or Indonesia).
We are not anywhere near yet, but the keyword there is "yet".

Date: 2017-03-14 01:08 am (UTC)Why do we even need to consider it?
I doubt your three points. In order to run pro-Moscow thing needs constant cash feed among with substantial group having third world alike mind set.
Pro-Bejin Maoist among with satisfying all the constraints above need to have decent group oh han (native Chinese) people capable of gaining and keeping the control.
Allahakbarians cannot light up even if all of above constraints are satisfied, they need really large group of their own. Even if they managed "secure the imports) (aka uncontrolled immigration) they still may be vulnerable due to fights among them.
I won't compare US health insurance saga to Singapore, it is hard to classify these two as equivalent on initial factors, environment, properties of participants,....
What I can't comprehend about Ryancare as follows:
1. Why shall not we approach tax the same way we approach mandate?
What kind of religion bans the House from abolishing both mandates (individual and employer's) given both parties same rules for tax credits?
2. Why, on this Earth, we cannot depart from "insurance health care coverage in order to arrive to "healthcare access" that makes a lot of wonderful things such as individula contracts with group practices, contract compos, health pools/health shares equivalent to health insurance policy.
In teh essence, they are the same, there are tons of pools/shares that allow for more service then a particular insurance policy. What about combo: a contract with the local clinic/group practice combined with catastrophic even policy?
People who posess such hybrid may be "covered" much more then 20 (or maybe 30%) under current policies,. So why not to start legally recognizing it?
What about refugee health access? What about immigrant's health access? According to 1996 act it shall be responsibility of an immigrant or immigrant's sponsor. Why Ryan care tries to address the healthcare of economically disadvantaged" without addressing their immigration status and explicitly writing some provisions that may address what is known now as medicaid/medicare fraud.?
I do not think that we need to do Lee clan way in order to address all above. I still believe we can do better then taht.
