Default "Medical Gluttony"

In a reference to the ongoing national debate over healthcare reform,
Brawley said the "irrational tendency to adopt treatments and
technologies without adequate assessment is a form of 'medical
gluttony' and a major reason that U.S. per capita healthcare costs are
the highest in the world. We do not get what we pay for; our life
expectancy is 29th among developed countries."

*While on the opposite end is the unlikely adoption of robotic surgery
tools like the DaVinci system available today.
The catch 22 will be this. It can't be shown effective without wide
scale trials but you can't have wide scale trials without it being a
covered procedure.


Oh, so you need Socialism to make the free market work. And
experimental drug trials are covered by insurance. Who knew?

I get it now. LoL.

*No, you need socialism to protect you from feeling guilty.


About what?

*Think how many people could have gotten a checkup for the
price of your trip to England.


That's the cool thing, 2pid. Only a moron would see things as "either-
or".

And

*Depends on the policy and the insurer.
*All that fine print is over your head.


So only a few companies cover them? Does your policy cover
experimental treatments or are you putting all of those necessary wide-
scale trials on the backs of the rest of us? LoL.

What would it take to declare Scott a troll? He takes positions he
doesn't believe in, flames opponents in lieu of arguing his own case,
starts off-topic threads continually.

Witless admitted that his life has been threatened by Normals on more than one
occasion. He probably has some cuts and bruises as well to commemorate his
assholishness.

Troll? That sounds like an emotionally-underdeveloped imbecile to me.

I see you've met Stephen's troll definition on every count.
Of course he's too myopic and generally wimpy to admit it.


Nope.

Stephen, I recognize that your brain is life-size (as opposed to pea-size).

His isn't even actual size.
