Yes, good read. This is how we got stuck in the system we're in. Early industrial sickness insurance purchased through employers was one influential economic origin of the current American health care system.[9] These late-19th-century and early-20th-century sickness insurance schemes were generally inexpensive for workers: their small scale and local administration kept overhead low, and because the people who purchased...

Seems it's mostly all Hybrid or turbo Fords. Ford I'm sure is working on this. I've got a 2004 F150 that's been completely reliable to date. Oh wait, I had to replace the lighter.

What we haven't learned yet is does MX Sports permanently ban Tony from having credentials. It seems Tony Alessi went even further after his initial penalty. I don't see how a promoter can ignore after the fact further accusations and threats.
Nice bit of bravado Choppy but let's be realistic. Although I can sympathize with the sentiment but you know and I know that ain't gonna happen. Do what you know works. Daydreaming about changing the government with your AR 15 is just wasting time when you and I and everybody else that realizes our representatives, and I use that term...

Actually it was both. The government (military) succeeded in Europe and Japan while their countries and industries were devastated making for a relatively competitive free environment.
You are correct sir. And if you were on Medicare they would have paid the hospital much, much less. More form that article. No hospital's chargemaster prices are consistent with those of any other hospital, nor do they seem to be based on anything objective -- like cost -- that any hospital executive I spoke with was able to explain...
We keep putting most of the onus on the insurance industry yet they don't control what hospitals charge for the most part. This has to be controlled starting at the point of orgin. There was an article just the other day I'll see if I can find it again but regardless it makes common sense. Hospitals make more money when...
