You know, I'm really not in the predictions business. But there's not a lot I've been wrong about in the health care arena. I predicted the disaster that is EHR. The other thread documents that fact well. I predicted the utterly failure of the ACA to accomplish any of the key improvements it was supposedly targeting -- including the number of persons covered, the inability of the increased numbers of Medicaids to get care because providers wouldn't give their services away, and other rather obvious market consequences. I also predicted that Medicare will find itself in the same boat as Medicaid, but that it will take longer. I predicted the quality of care would decline substantially and it has. I stated up front that there will be a growing and persistent shortage of doctors, and there is and there will continue to be. To proclaim " I was right" on health care just a year or so into a program is delusionally premature. You are wrong about everything, because you see all of it through a political lens and that causes your objectivity to fly out the window. Presumably, that is the reason you left the health care thread where you were being challenged by people who understand what's going on and you simply couldn't respond to it because you didn't have the intellectual capital to do so. A) I didn't leave anything...i didn't post on this thread for many months either....B) the thread you referred to is an echochamber of idiot'savants who latch on like a laser to a minor point and conveniently ignore the bigger picture.
