  • - Hillary
    - US growth will continue, but slowly and with hiccups
    - VR
    - Trump
  • I heard about this new blood test that should be available within a year that will eliminate the need for colonoscopies. You'll only need the colonoscopy if the blood test shows the presence of polyps. Good news for our butts!
  • What is VR?
  • Hilary, tech bubble will burst, performance fabrics, house hunters isn't real
  • - Bernie
    - Bubble will only inflate more in 2016
    - Drones with sensors
    - A Kardashian will commit suicide
  • lolol these are so funny

    house hunters isn't real!
    a Kardashian will commit suicide

    lol omg thank you

    if the tech bubble bursts I will be so happy I cry until I poop my pants. Imagine all those assholes back out on the street! The Google campus a home for ravens and crows. TRULY making the world a better place

    - I'm gonna say Bernie because you have to think positive and everybody else saying "Hillary" is like acknowledging that Bernie "can't" be president and I am like, why not??
    - I truly have no idea but it won't be good for poor people
    - phone that can give you a blowjob
    - Trump will personally massacre 1-7 Syrian refugee families; will become great folk hero; military coup will unseat Bernie and put Trump in place as Great Dictator; the dawning of end times; I can stop worrying about tenure
  • I am feeling the Bern. I have a question though. I am all for a single payer system - I think it makes sense, but doesn't that mean that hundreds of thousands of people with jobs in Health insurance will be unemployed? I know some people would get jobs in the single payer system, but certainly not a majority. Wouldn't that cause another crisis? Lots of hypotheticals, but I am legitimately curious, and folks here are smarter than me. I don't see that brought up when we talk about single payer systems.
  • Yeah, I was wondering along the same lines: how does the infrastructure get built or transferred to a public system? Countries like England and Canada have had government-run healthcare for a long time, but the US doesn't have any experience with that.

    Would the federal government just contract out to companies like Kaiser and Providence, or would they build their own facilities? Either way, it's a very complicated proposition. I still support universal health care; I just don't know how it would be implemented from a practical perspective.
  • oh Lord, I hadn't even thought of this
    Lord have mercy. You can't pick one thing up without dropping another. What's to become of us????????

    England famously "got the opportunity" to completely restructure its healthcare system after the country was bombed into oblivion during WWII. When you're starting from nothing you can do whatever you want. We don't have that "luxury" (lol)

    Yes a transition to single payer would include some costs, but the $20 billion in retraining costs would be a small percentage of overall savings according to this source,

    The smart health insurers are in a tizzy right now trying out new business plans (see Cambia's proliferation of startups like HealthSparq and Lifemap, etc.) to try to have an honest business plan when/if this parasitic biz model finally comes to an end.

  • That Cambia link was eye opening.
  • It's hard to see beyond the Hands Across America anniversary in May, but... Bernie.
