I want hard facts from a credible source and not from a winger rag like IBD.
Facts are facts. You can do the arithmetic yourself. However, before IBD ever mentioned it, I was posting here months ago that this was the case. Now, I understand why you don't want to take my word for it, but the reality is the NYT probably isn't going to tell you about this, because it doesn't comport with their objective of socialized medicine. And Obama sure as hell isn't going to tell you.
So, you have a choice of taking logically deduced figures from multiple sources who don't share your ideology, or just blindly believing sources that are obviously not objective in the matter. I have no doubt which you prefer. You never let the facts get in the way of a good argument.
Yes, these people love paying huge doctor bills and not getting their teeth fixed.
Which huge doctor bills are those? Every physician I do work for -- hundreds of them -- carries balances from people who can't pay. Typically, they even continue to see the patients. Yes, the patient may owe the doc a couple thousand dollars, but they're not going without "health care". We (taxpayers) fund county hospital deficits so these people can get care. But it is totally absurd to think these patients should be seen time and again and a record of their balances not even be kept.
I work with a surgeon who has been in practice for 25 years, a time during which his fees have been cut over and over again by Medicare and Medicaid. Yet, he continues to see these patients. This guy has literally 100s of accounts on his books where they ask for $5/month. If the patient can manage $5/month, they'll keep it out of collections. I just don't know how you get more accommodating than that.
Statistics don't lie.
Right. And we're presenting statistics and you got nothing but your pecker in your in your hand. Where are YOUR f*cking statistics? |
