Displaying 9,391 To 9,420 Of 9,743 Comments True fee for service is the #1 reason we waste $800MMM/year in our disaster of a healthcare system. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 10:53 pm Like I said before cutting costs through regulation is the most direct way to cut cost. Limit private insurance profits and overhead. Limit the number of for profit hospitals and regulate drug and medical devise and equipment prices. Maximize government grants for med students so doctors are not six figures in debt. And yes even limit tort reforms along with malpractice insurance rates. All these things are the only direct ways to cut costs. Single payer does not even cut costs without everything else legislated. The public option is the cowards way out but it’s a huge change because it will start changing our entire view of the employer based system and start putting downward pressure on provider costs. I almost want no employer mandates in the final bill because if they have to go into the public pool we will have virtual single payer faster and that’s when we can really start lowering provider costs. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 10:18 pm Oh and guess what the president was right. The current healthcare system wastes about $800,000,000,000 a year so one year of cutting wast would pay for 8 years of universal healthcare. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091026/ts_nm/us_usa_healthcare_waste_4 » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 9:20 pm Well said I tend to like the Stratego analogy better because the chess thing is getting stale. The grand strategy never changed no mater what the naysayers said. The game changing moment for the public option where it got resuscitated was the speech before the joint session and the media blitz supporting healthcare reform with the public option. That got progressives going again, especially those that counted in congress. All this reading the tea leaves the last few days has been nonsense. I think the president got bad advice from his advisers who underestimated the support for a strong public option in the Senate. All it sounds like because we don’t know is the president was talking about was what he thought that could pass not what he wanted. This is the exact reason why negotiations are not public because different people reach different conclusions in the same meeting. It’s amazing now how Aryanna is taking credit and her flock are taking credit now when they have really been undermining the president’s agenda all along by fostering apathy with progressives that by into their bullshite. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 8:31 pm Priceless how clueless these trolls are. Aryanna and her cronies just took credit for the great chicken and dumplings my wife made for dinner because she thought about making chicken and rice soup instead. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 6:17 pm Hell I’m as responsible for getting it as the blog queen the way I see it. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 6:08 pm Here goes but it’s not that old.
» Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 6:05 pm She thought he was a jerk and picked another doctor. She said he was always on his cell phone and didn’t care about his patients. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 5:18 pm Actually it was me who convinced the president to forget about the trigger and Snowe because I contacted the white house this weekend to tell hem to support the opt out plan. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 5:17 pm Riiiiiight it wasn’t his campaign, or the dozens and dozens of times where he pushed a public option. No it was all Aryanna. Can her head get any bigger? » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 5:14 pm If you wish HERE is a petition you can sign to thank Senator Reid for supporting the public option. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 4:30 pm The guy is a total asshole. I can’t believe when we first came to the Atlanta area my wife had an appointment with him searching for a doctor. How gross, huh? » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 3:48 pm Exactly how many GOP congresspeople have we seen recently at groundbreaking ceremonies hold up big checks from the stimulus money? National and state politics are completely different. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 3:35 pm Thanks, like I said any compromise is going to have disadvantages. Hell I would love to have single payer instead of a public option. In this case I just think the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, unlike compromises like the trigger or co-ops though I hear states that do opt out can do co-ops if they want which is fine with me. Before I was literally looking to move outside the country for healthcare so moving to a different state if I have to a relatively minor inconvenience. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 3:30 pm Thanks but it worse because I’m in Gingrey’s district. But I still bug him all the time to pass healthcare with a public option. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 3:25 pm I’ve Had More than Enoughington I never liked her personal attacks on Hillary Clinton which aided building up so much personal angst in the Democratic Primaries. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 3:04 pm Very well said and 100% spot on. People cannot hide what they are inside for long. Aryanna is a money hungry right wing opportunists inside and that’s all that matters. Why do you think a majority of the mains are about banks and many come from from the WSJ? I go to many other progressive websites and they don’t obsess about banks. Banking is simply not a progressive issue because they are just a necessary evil, a means to an end if you will. Like all trolls she looks at politics as a series of personal attacks and could not give a flying leap about real progressive causes. From what I understand the domain name “enoughingtonpost.com” is still available. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 2:55 pm Welcome. The moderation, scrubbing and banning is infuriating with Enoughington Post. What in the world is liberal or progressive about that, especially their “fully moderated” articles when you cannot criticize Aryanna or her minions. The worst part is racists can have racist monikers and icons which never get scrubbed. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 9:05 pm Bankington is obsessing about banks again in her latest criticism of the president that should be listed in the WSJ. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 3:49 pm Spot on. I’ve always said one big reason she was reborn as a progressive was because conservatives don’t make the Hollywood “A List”. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 2:41 pm 🙂 Comedy Gold! Ten years ago Aryanna was just like the rabid right winger Orly Taitz who was constantly badgering former President Clinton. For her politics is ALWAYS about personalities and not about policies because at her core she still is a Republican troll. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 1:27 pm PK is one of the originals. She has been as frustrated as anyone with the constant scrubbing and banning at Huffno. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 26, 2009 @ 1:31 pm Welcome! There was a day when people could criticize a president on certain issues but still support them. I wish he would push harder for things like a more robust public option but I don’t have to use hyperbole and demonstrative and misleading headlines to express myself. People like Aryanna are part of the problem because they make politics about personal attacks and not about policies. But then again she learned all that as a Republican. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 25, 2009 @ 9:21 pm The Huffington Hypocrisy Strikes Again! I can’t understand the impatience either. It took almost 30 years of greed is good Reaganism to mess things up and it will take years not months to fix. The same with healthcare reform. It’s been decades and just the fact that President Obama and the Dems may get it done in less than a year is amazing. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 27, 2009 @ 2:27 am It takes a while to get use to stop complying with their bullshite rules. You can also embed pictures and video in responses here. YouTube video is really easy just add a “v” after the “http” in the link when you cut and past it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohiRxoakhog You just have to make sure the video can be embedded. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 25, 2009 @ 10:53 pm Tell me about it. I’ve been in many meetings in my career and people all come out with their own impressions of what was said and what occurred. Constantly reporting this and especially interpreting intentions is shoddy journalism. I think the president may be getting some bad advise about where the public option stands and the only direct quote I heard from the meetings was the president saying “I hope you know what you are doing” when talking to Reid reported by Ezra Klein. What someone wants and what they think they can get are two different things. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 25, 2009 @ 8:51 pm Welcome. I see more and more people are realizing what HP is all about. Is was open and is funded by hedge funds for goodness sake. The sensational headlines and hypocrisy there just goes too far. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 25, 2009 @ 7:38 pm Welcome to you as well. Your post is spot on for sure. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 25, 2009 @ 6:14 pm Welcome. Hey RR buddy I missed your posts. Half the mains are now from the WSJ and all you see is misleading stories and headlines these days on Huffy. I haven’t posted over there much for a while now and I only kept posting to interact with folks like you but for me the whole “Biden should Resign” article by Aryanna just brought everything to a head of how that place is just a vanity site for Queen Aryanna. I like Biden but calling a guy who as Senator voted for the Iraq war a prince of peace is just ridiculous. Aryanna like all trolls cannot separate policy from personal attacks. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 25, 2009 @ 6:13 pm KevenSeven banned at Huff, time for HuffNo Fridays again I hope you not pissed at the image I put up one the post though. 😉 » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On October 25, 2009 @ 9:26 pmComments Posted By KQµårk 死神
