1. If that’s true, the system can be gamed for many diseases and CODs so do you think all of the data is worthless? It’s either as good as we can get or totally worthless. Can’t have it both ways. If it’s worthless then we’re arguing about the number of angels that can fit on the head of a pin.

  2. SO vote Trump and no socialized medicine or this shit gets worse.

    Health care will turn into the public school system.
  3. This has nothing to do with socialized medicine. It’s about using data and the scientific method. As to the future of medicine it’s basically already socialized. The free market in medicine is in the dust bin of history. It’s just been masked by the insurance companies and hospitals. We haven’t had a free market since Medicare.
  4. The fuck it doesnt.

    You think the government is going to distribute money evenly under socialized medicine? People will be competing for deaths'. Just like "test scores"....
  5. you deflected and didn’t answer the question...
    do you seriously think that with all elective surgeries canceled for months greatly reducing revenue that they wouldn’t lean on the COVID?

    so again, do hospitals receive more funding if death is attributed to COVID yes/no?
  6. I dont give a shit bout bad our healthcare is now, it will be ruined under the government.
  7. I wish they'd load them all and have their employees deputized so they could eliminate the problem before it even starts.

  8. Their employees would get themselves killed. Have you ever met any Walmart employees? They should hire an outfit like Blackwater to use trained killers to protect their stores.
  9. You may be right. I think it would be the equivalent of a patty cake slap fight.

  10. Average the total number of deaths for the last 3 years. Factor in for population growth and 2020 wil be within .5% of that number.
