What woman wants to marry a man who makes less money than her, has lower status than her, has no job,...? Men are happy to marry lower status women who have no jobs or money.
The primary motivation against socialized healthcare in the U.S. is to maintain a state of decentralized power. We want our Federal Government to have less power not more power. When the U.S. Government has control over healthcare in the U.S. it will have significantly increased its power over a significant part of the U.S. economy. Add that power to the power of the U.S. military and the rest of the world may start thinking that maybe decentralized power in the U.S. looks like a pretty good idea.
There is also no constitutional right to social security, roads, clean water, safe food,
Good roads, clean water, safe food, are all benefits to public health and national security. It's a happy accident that these things benefit individuals.
Social security and healthcare for individuals are charity. They are not Constitutional or God given rights.
Like this guy.
So
... I repeat my wife's question: do you REALLY want these people in charge of your healthcare? I don't.
Does your wife really think that insurance companies don't make errors with billing, coding or paying the bills?
Next time you're in your doctor's office, ask them how much effort it is to work with the various insurance companies.
Ask them which is worse - the insurance companies or Medicare?
Yes. The insurance company haters should ask their medical providers this question. They will find that medical providers are encouraged to "over treat" patients in order to be reimbursed enough from Medicare to pay for a visit's "paperwork" costs.
Rare? Nearly every government contract offered to the private sector since Bush took office has been no-bid. Remember the deals made during the Iraq War? Every single one of those was no-bid to Halliburton. This kind of cronyism is NOT rare at all; it is the norm, and has been for over a decade.
I assume "Bush" means George W. Bush. The 43rd President of the United States. He has not been president for almost five years. Anyhow, cronyism existed long before he became president.
On the issue of purported no bid contracts: What services did Halliburton provide for the U.S. Military in Iraq? Who were the likely competitors to provide those services? What services did CGI Federal provide the U.S. Government? Were there any likely competitors (i.e. has anyone else built a website to service millions of customers)?
One more question: Why did congressional Democrats originally vote to support the Iraq War during the Bush administration? Was there some sort of quid pro quo?
Wouldn't it be better use of our resources to combat the "killers" of people in their twenties and thirties? Those killers being suicide, homicide, and "accidents."
learning logic skills should be well in advance of coding. i do think our society waits too late on that.
that alone could improve lots of things out side of computer programming as well.
The zeitgeist in U.S. elementary education is to discourage students from using the "traditional" algorithms to solve multiplication and division problems. Algorithm practice is now referred to, by educators, with the pejorative "drill and kill". If students are not familiar with following algorithms, and possibly have disdain for doing so, they're going to have difficulty learning to code.
