Ok. Have a great night. All the best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tell you what. This is a great discussion. Let's keep it going. It's been a really busy day and to be honest I've kind of lost track of the convo, so maybe we can start over with this: I'll adopt the position that: EMS hurts itself far worse than a president or government might, due to lack...

I take a fancy in spirited debate and the presentation of all sides. I'm happy to play devils advocate if it helps readers to see both sides and choose which suits them. What fancy words did I throw around that you take objection to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Versus greedy CEOs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm of the school of thought that we're all better off if we pool resources and work together. That frightens many people. Hypothetical: I was elected president. Name for me one reason why I should put resources and increase debt to find EMS? What will I get for my money, so to speak, that...

Why the automatic leap to me not understanding a concept? You've presented a binary choice as an alternative to mandatory health insurance. Instead of choosing one thing I can choose two. You get better options at Sue Bells Home Town Buffett. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More multi factorial than totalitarianism alone. Make America Great Again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you really have choice? A few big private insurers and one big government all up in bed together. There's a word for that kind of system. Oh, right. Fascism. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One is s taxpayer and one is a shareholder Hmmmm. A puzzler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It always amazes me: that when a large group of people gets together and pool money to cover risk of bad health it's called private insurance. And then when a large group of people get together and pool money to cover risk of bad health it's called socialized medicine. Sent from my iPhone...

I agree with you, I would point out that as the US is a mixed economy, it's far more complicated that just left vs. right. I will give an example: for ever percentage point the unemployment rate increases thousands of Americans die or suffer ill health. Where's the social justice when Enron...

Yep. But then you gotta balance profit motive incentives against social justice and equality. It's an unfortunately bad circle that someone should win a Nobel prize for solving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Look, nobody -not the government, no Donald trump nor Donald Duck- can harm or damage EMS worse that we harm and damage ourselves. No one is coming to save us. No one is looking out for us. We gotta get our act together as a profession. Then we start dictating the terms for ourselves. Sent...

Also, EMS is not on anyone's radar in a policy making or business sense. There's a high amount of fraud in the industry, so from a policy standpoint increasing funding exacerbates a fraud problem. Behavioral economics of EMS are a hot mess, and having multiple services in close proximity drain...

Sigh. I pointed out one thing matched another and it should not be read into in precisely the fashion you read into it. I apologize if that was not clear. I also pointed out that for many thousands of years the problem of poverty, social welfare, class mobility, etc. haven't been solved and...
