After a few hours, you're calling people out for silence? God, could you be more self-important...

This... from the douchebag who whined about anyone calling America a "failing Empire" and then when someone starts an actual discussion over the reasons.... nothing. Absolute, cowardly SILENCE. And that one's been going for over a week.

Chickenshit.

As for this. I think it just might help iron the thing out into a better law, but it won't get rid of it. But I've been against the mandate since the public option was taken off the table.

So, I see this as a possible step in the right direction.

But, since you're so hurry to discuss (HA!), why don't you comment on the fact that this Judge has financial and business ties to the Lawyer who brought forward the suit?

Of all the things that were in the health care bill, that one just stuck in my craw. I have absolutely no interest in being showed into the corporate-health-care maw, and even less interest when its by law.

It'll head to the SCOTUS, where the "mandate" will likely be upheld under the interstate commerce clause. Other cases have been, even when they've been hinged on INactivity and on commerce WITHIN a state, not between states.

I don't care for the mandate, but looking for it to be tossed out by this SCOTUS is a bit of a pipe dream, don't you think? Especially after the Citizens United ruling?

After many years of legal study and gasoline huffing I have come to the conclusion that

1) the commerce clause can be used to justify and uphold nearly any law, no matter how remotely related to commerce, because--

2) all Constitutional law is result oriented bullshit.

Don't bother ever looking for unifying principles in Con law; there are none, just platitudes and purple rhetoric.

I hope that Christine O'Donnell is elected to office someday, so that she may propose a ban on masturbation. I'm sure a court could find some way to uphold it under the CC.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)


I'm sure this won't matter a bit to those who agree with this activist judge, but a small matter of conflict of interest has arisen. Seems this judge happened to get over $9000 from the Virginia AG himself, good ol' Cooch Cuccinelli, before landing this case in his docket.


As for the Commerce Clause, see the 2005 Raich decision for examples of how "inactivity" is still under the auspices of "commerce".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzales_v._Raich

Of course, if the federal government can't "fine" me (with tax breaks or lack thereof) for NOT buying insurance, why is it that they can fine me (again, via tax breaks and the withholding of same) if I'm not married, or if I'm not a homeowner, or if I don't have children, etc.?

See, as I understand it, the "mandate" that you buy health insurance is in the form of a tax break that you get to take a deduction for if you DO buy insurance, and you don't get to take it if you DON'T buy insurance. Since it was written (very specifically, and very intentionally, for just this reason) into the tax code part of it, and the federal government and every state has ruled countless times that the government does indeed have the right to levy and collect taxes, it seems strange for an activist judge to call this a fine or a mandate.

Just pointing out where the legalities of such things are heading, and where they're coming from.

And note that not once have I said I *agree* with such a "mandate".

The judge cited the idea of punishing citizens for what he called "inactivity", so I have to ask: Isn't not wearing my seatbelt a form on inactivity? Isn't that a choice I made to NOT put my seatbelt on? Whom did I put at risk when I made that decision? (Again, not arguing with whether or not we SHOULD wear seatbelts - I always wear mine, because I've seen what happens when you don't - but rather whether or not it's legal to have a law requiring it)

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Mike, you're talking sanity to the insane...you should watch that.

The reason Sig would like to see it gotten rid of is because it is actually forcing us to buy insurance from INSURANCE COMPANIES, thereby enhancing their profits. Without the publico option, those are pretty much the only ones we CAN buy it from, so it's a straight gimme.

So no, hell didn't freeze over, they have two different reasons for disliking the bill, and I happen to dislike it for the same reasons as Sig.

The problem is that if not everyone buys insurance, there is a problem in that only those old enough, smart enough, and/or already sick enough need it, so the premiums will have to become exhorbidant to cover the costs.

And yes, Mike, there is all of that...which nobody seems to want to pay attention to. The idea seems to be to challenge it on so many fronts that it DOES go to the Supremes. And I think you're wrong. I think the currently right-leaning Supreme Court has a good chance of striking it down. I'm not sure why you think otherwise, unless it's that the profits the insurance companies will make out of the mandate are something you think they'll be in favor of. I much more see them following the right's example of wanting to strike down "Obamacare" no matter what. JMHO.

By the way, the "individual mandate" was something the Republicans originally SUGGESTED and were IN FAVOR OF before a Democrat got in office. You know, probably because of the profits the insurance companies would garner.
Quote:

The last time Congress debated a health overhaul, when Bill Clinton was president, Hatch and several other senators who now oppose the so-called individual mandate actually supported a bill that would have required it.

In fact, says Len Nichols of the New America Foundation, the individual mandate was originally a Republican idea. "It was invented by Mark Pauly to give to George Bush Sr. back in the day."

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123670612
Quote:

But the "truth is this is a Republican idea." Linda Quick, president of the South Florida Hospital and Healthcare Association, told the Miami Herald that she first heard about "individual mandate" in a Miami speech delivered by John McCain. That was back in 1993 when Republicans were hitting the countryside with messages to counter the health care reforms being pushed by the Clinton administration.
Quote:

McCain did not embrace the concept during his 2008 election campaign, but other leading Republicans did, including Tommy Thompson, secretary of Health and Human Services under President Bush.

Seeking to deradicalize the idea during a symposium in Orlando in September 2008, Thompson said, "Just like people are required to have car insurance, they could be required to have health insurance."

Other Republicans, not to mention big business and the insurance industry, have also expressed support for the measure in the past, including Mitt Romney.

As recently as last September, former Senate GOP leader Bill Frist endorsed the individual mandate, writing that as a heart surgeon, "the only way affordable access can be achieved is for every citizen to have some type of health insurance."
Quote:

I believe in limited government and individual responsibility, cherish the freedom to choose, and generally oppose individual mandates—except where markets fail, individuals suffer, and society pays a hefty price. Let's face it, in a country as productive and advanced as ours, every American deserves affordable access to healthcare delivered at the right time. And they don't have it today.

It is time for an individual health insurance mandate for a minimum level of health coverage.

Last December, Utah's Orrin Hatch claimed that "Congress has never crossed the line between regulating what people choose to do and ordering them to do it," yet the last time Congress debated a health overhaul in 1993, Hatch was among 21 Republican Senators who supported a 1993 GOP bill requiring an individual mandate. Four of those lawmakers remain in the Senate today: Charles Grassley of Iowa, Robert Bennett of Utah and Chris Bond of Missouri.

Read the Raich case summary. Two women were growing their own marijuana, "for medicinal use", and "transporting" it all of 100 feet or less, into their home for consumption. They were sued under the Commerce Clause, and the suit as upheld, because the SCOTUS ruled that even in a state where medicinal marijuana is legal, it's still ILLEGAL for individuals to grow their own, because doing so removes them from buying it from licensed growers, and thus removes them from "interstate commerce" (which is odd, since interstate commerce in marijuana would be illegal on a federal level to begin with).

The SCOTUS upheld this, and even Sandra Day O'Connor, in her dissent, called the ruling ridiculous, and basically said that under such a ruling, EVERYTHING is "interstate commerce", and by choosing NOT to be a part of such commerce, you're impacting that very commerce you aren't participating in.

So now do you see why they may very well come down on the side of the mandate, besides just the money that's in it for them and their cronies? Because if you DON'T buy insurance, you're affecting the interstate commerce of the insurance industry!

I know it's crazy logic, but this is our Supreme Court, after all...

Simple, abolish medical insurance and make access to care a fucking HUMAN RIGHT, which it damn well shoulda been a hundred years ago - and you solve the problem in a stroke, cause the medicare infrastructure is already laid down and it's expansion will absorb a lot of the insurance company personnel and existing infrastructure, lessening the economic fallout.

And subsidise medical education in exchange for service, or the ability to have some of your student loan payments waved if you work within that system - while ALLOWING private practice to compete for premium services.

But a basic, minimum level of care ?
Why the HELL is this not just a matter of being HUMAN - letting someone DIE cause they're poor - WTF, people ?

The quality of care is far more important than the availability of services. If the care does not save lives, it does no good to make it universally available. Think this is an unrealistic situation? It's not. It the situation in most countries in the world. Including, alas, this one.

In America, you can receive quality medical care, but it's not dependent on your income, it's dependent on your brain, you have to outwit the system, and you have to go to the right locations. Death panels are a reality today. Frem has a point, denial of services happen, even though its illegal, because they use tricks of the system to do it. However, we can use tricks to get it back, which is probably why Frem is alive, and certainly why me and my sister are alive.

Socialization however is certainly not the answer. Statistically, socialized medicine is the worst form of care, and, somewhat ironically, shamanism is the best. But not the answer for brain cancer. One of the best is university care, as is often true with scientific research labs, the meritocracy of academia does work in some areas. Often urban and regional "supercenters" are quite mediocre and impersonal.

But none of this hits at the heart of the reason socialization wouldn't work: freedom of choice. You need competition of unrelated service providers and the freedom to choose between them in order for the quality of care to improve. If you centralize the system, that will disappear, maybe not overnight, but in time it will erode away, and we all know it will because nothing will be driving it.

My sister is currently at rochester rather than her local hospital where the neurology dept was totally inadequate to the task because a) she had the choice, and b) she knew where she could go to get better service, in part because she works in a hospital. (ironically, she could not get served at her own hospital, because she's not a veteran, though she has mentioned a couple of times that she thinks VA workers should be considered military, they are even given ranks, which mean little outside of salary, but alas, I digress...) anyway, finally, c) Rochester builds its business on the idea of attracting outside customers with superior care.

The best medical systems in the world are ruthless and mercenary in their pure capitalism, but i concur that this is not ideal. Here's the snag: some people are willing to pay so much for quality care that the best would be able to demand prices outside of the range of the poor.

This is not true of everything. Take food as an example. A restaurant where a meal costs $20 has much better food than a restaurant where a meal costs $5, usually, on average, I'll grant exceptions to each; but a restaurant where a meal costs $100 does not. There's really no different in the quality of the food, on average. Atmosphere, maybe. Furthermore, there is not a sizable market for restaurants where a meal costs $20,000, let alone a million or more.

Because there are people with a near infinite amount of money, and their life may depend on their choice of medical care, we need a system where someone picks up the tab. If there is gong to be a govt, I think it should probably be them, since they are making a fairly unreasonable demand that we obey their laws which were usually the whim of some lobbyist to begin with, I mean the laws made up year to year, which is the vast majority of law, not the laws that have been around for thousands of years and are in every society. If a society makes laws, for instance, that make it illegal for me to treat myself with whatever treatments I come up with, then I think it owes me the price of the alternative.

I have no real moral or economic objection to such a system. Heres where I have a problem with it: as the govt. Gets involved in the healthcare industry, it will gain the power to tell the industry what to do. Far more than death panels and rationing of care, this will result in a radical downgrading of the quality of care because the govt. Has already thoroughly proven that it has absolutely no interest in the quality of life of its citizens. If it did, it would actually regulate industrial pollutants, vehicle safety, provide public transportation, free higher education, maintain decent standards of education, and not burrow us in a mountain of debt with foreign wars and favors to its own corporate friends while poisoning our water and food and aiding despotic dictatorships in the third world and feel free to insert your own list of misdeeds here, you get my point, they don't care, and that's not about to change when we give them the keys to this particular vehicle.

True, they have a lot of influence now, but thats minor compared to what it could be. The stagnation of stem cells is just the start of what would become an eternal stagnation of all care options if govt. Were to decide which ones to develop, as all cost money, and would primarily serve to keep old people alive, and the govt. Views old people as a liability, etc.

The AP found he had no medical residency, fellowship, doctoral degree or the 15 years of clinical experience he claimed. He attended medical school for a few years but withdrew and didn't graduate. Journals that printed articles listing Hamman with M.D. and Ph.D. degrees are being contacted in case they want to correct the work. Beaumont removed him from a U.S. Department of Defense medical simulation contract that a physician at the hospital had obtained. Doctors who attended Hamman's sessions don't have to worry — the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education will not revoke any education credits they earned."

Not really trying to start an argument, but most of what we consider "Human Rights" - Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, Racial Equality, Gender Equality, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Association, Freedom of Movement, etc. - pretty much rely on folks recognizing(or being forced to realize by government or social pressure) that those rights should apply. This, in an ideal world, would be done without the expenditure of much resource.

Health care, even in an ideal world, is gonna be expensive. Staff, training, equipment, physical plant, drugs, etc. cost a good bit. Someone has to pay for this stuff. Who would that be? If it's a "Human Right" then the recipient shouldn't have to pay for something that's theirs by right. Yet the bucks gotta come from somewhere.

Why cut our massively-bloated "defense" budget across the board by 10%.
*snaps fingers*
MORE than enough money right there, and the warfare-welfare industry would barely even notice.

There *are* things I don't mind payin for, infrastructure, for example, and honestly if we were to consider it a human rights issue, this whole concept would fall under the same theme as public utilities - which isn't the best model I know, but it's something to START from, as opposed to never getting past step one.


Also, I must reject Siggys hypothesis that the government is technically more accountable.

Theoretically, a government is accountable to its voters in the same fashion that a corporation is accountable to its shareholders, but in practice this has proven to be naught more than a polite fiction used to insulate those responsible for decisions from the consquences of making them - and this presumes that one even sees any difference between the government and any other corporation, which, from MY perspective, there isn't any.

That said, the best way to deal with that concentration of power issue does seem to be horizontalidad.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontalidad
Which does answer to Siggys much previous "pile of resources in one spot" analogy, by bringing the power as close to those affected by those decisions, and spreading it equally amongst them.


In summary though, it ain't that I pay taxes which rooks me, Geeze, it's what they're USED for - something that benefits all of us, especially the worst off, will not draw the complaints that warfare-welfare and foreign adventurism does.

Wish it were that simple.

10% of the defense budget would be $100-150 billion a year. Medicare provides some, but not all, of the health care for around 45 million people for $470 billion a year ($10,400.00 per person). Plus many Medicare recipients also have some private insurance to cover gaps. Total health care costs in the U.S. per year run around $2.3 trillion (Around $7,700.00 per person, and equal to around 65% of the National Budget).

If your idea of health care as a 'human right' applies to everyone, and you believe no individual should have to pay for what's theirs by right, then you're way short of funds.

Even if you think that the right to health care means that folks who can't pay for it on their own, either personally or through insurance (around 50 million are uninsured) should be covered, $140 billion might not make it, if the costs of Medicare/Medicaid are any guide.

This is not to say that things can't be done, or that good health care for everyone isn't a good goal to shoot for, but it ain't gonna be quite that easy.

Hello,

I wonder how much of the covert action and intelligence budget could be diverted.

The original purpose of the CIA, for instance, was to get accurate information to the decision-makers and to prevent another Pearl Harbor type surprise.

It has *almost* universally failed to do so, and the cost of failure has arguably been greater than the cost of the surprise attacks that the CIA is meant to detect.

I think we can do a lot better than 10%, and in more than one area.

Range of estimates of intelligence and covert action not covered in the Defense budget of $1.0-1.4 trillion come to between $50 and $100 billion, so it might add 5% to 10% to the available bucks to be cut. Not enough. Even cutting the intelligence budget completely wouldn't help that much.

Also seems that the pretty much complete absence of successful attacks on the U.S. since 9/11 probably hasn't happened because the folks who want to do so have decided to take a break for nine years. Maybe the intelligence community is doing stuff you don't know about - covert stuff?

Hello,

Having just brushed up on the CIA, I can say that they have historically been ineffective. (And sometimes dangerous.) It is entirely possible that they have pulled a 180 since 9/11 and become the best thing since sliced bread, however I find this unlikely given the historical precedent. Of course, one notable change in the CIA lately is that they outsource much of their intel operations and personnel to private companies. The CIA has become a waystation to lucrative private employment. Only God knows whether these private companies are an improvement over the historic failures of the Central Intelligence Agency.

I think the more logical presumption about the decrease in terrorism here is that the terrorists are quite busy with operations closer to home. We have conveniently relocated some choice targets into their back yard. This does not mean that the fight is over, nor that we have achieved a net reduction of cost, death and destruction. It is certainly not a triumph of intelligence.

So here's my take on the ruling: GOOD.

Of all the things that were in the health care bill, that one just stuck in my craw. I have absolutely no interest in being showed into the corporate-health-care maw, and even less interest when its by law.

It's not an anti-government thing, it's an anti-corporate thing. But you wouldn't understand.



This. This was the worst part of the whole bill. I don't want to be forced to buy the same lame-ass fucking insurance we already have. That's the problem with this bill. It didn't go far enough. Sure, it has some nice little trimmings on it but in reality, it's just going to be the same broken system we've had but with some little twinkle lights on it to make it look pretty. If there's anything that should have been stripped from the healthcare reform, this was it. So props to you Virginia judge.

Health Care is not a "human right". If it is your either going to force someone to pay for it or force someone to provide it. Both concepts are contrary to the Constitution.

I think its important to draw a distinction between a "human right" and a the ethics and morality of the issue. A person has no right to health care, but a Doctor is ethically bound to help someone who needs it, a Christian has a moral responsibility to help someone as well. But such ideals are not Constitutionally mandated.

88.1 Billion Dollars, according to the last GAO estimate, for intelligence spending.

And besides Geeze, you're working with a greviously inflated cost to begin with, what I call bullshit costs - like how the provider and supply list a wheelchair for $700.00 which is "billed" at such to run down your coverage and slap you with deductible, or ambush you when they do run out the coverage, despite that very self-same wheelchair being available via harbor freight for $109.99

They're NOT charging each other that cost, they're charging YOU that cost, and that shit would stop pretty quickly, especially when the GAO got involved via cost-audits, which I guarantee you would happen with Miller pushing it.

Shit, you don't even need to ask me about that, ask Niki what a pair of little foam widgets you could buy at a drugstore cost HER when they did a coverage-end ambush like that.

And I ain't gonna get into that "Force" bullshit, I am flat sayin we ought to, all of us, VOLUNTARILY agree to fucking provide it, as human beings to each other - or admit that we're flat out willing to let others die for our own profit.

Let us see what your true colors really ARE, shall we ?

There's plenty of bullshit we could cut, primarily out of our massively bloated "defense" budget which has about shit to do with defense and everything to do with imposing the will of the elite on not only the rest of the world, but also upon us - and lets see if any of you flag wavers dare admit that the cartels in power find US, the people they supposedly answer to, as the primary fucking threat to them ?

Not to mention, as stated, the massively-inflated costs, which have everything to do with profit and little or nothing to do with quality of care.

You wanna talk ethics and morality, fine, we'll talk ethics and morality - you wanna talk economics, we'll talk economics...

But for a fact, to withhold care cause someone is poor is an inhumane act, and I don't give a fuck what your justifications are - although I will probably be grimly amused, in a black humor sorta way, to watch you try.

You need to talk both. Even if you have the best intentions in the world, without economic resources to build the labs that make, say, cholera vaccines or IV fluids to replace those lost to diarrhea, you're gonna have a lot more folks dying in Haiti. And add politics too, since any Western country trying to help treat the sick in Haiti has to tiptoe around the existing disfunctional government, and probably line a few of its bosses pockets, to avoid bringing up charges of colonialism.

I'm probably as interested as you in providing health care to folks. I just realize it needs more serious thought that flip comments like "Why cut our massively-bloated "defense" budget across the board by 10%." Such comments may make you sound clever and hit all your anti-imperialist buttons, but I've pretty much shown that your 10% cut would have little effect, and I suspect would just be throwing good money after bad.

I agree about the inflated cost of care and medical supplies, and that'd probably be as good a place to start as any - along with cutting waste, fraud, and abuse - since it seems more reasonable to me to cut costs up front rather than trying to raise more money to pay stupidly high prices. Something like a GAO branch set up to review costs would seem to be worthwhile, but that would require more tax money for staffing and facilities too. Maybe that would be a good place for your 10% to go.

As an aside - It's always interesting to me when I get insurance statements for medical exams, labs, etc. how the 'list' price is 'negotiated' down to a much lower price the insurance company actually pays. Never could figure why the doctor didn't just charge the 'negotiated' price in the first place, since it's right there in the insurance company's rate books.

I'd also like to see more emphasis on promoting healthier lifestyles and preventive care. If folks don't get sick as much, they don't use up medical resources and funds.

I'm afraid, though, that no matter the efficiencies and money available, there will always be folks who can't get all the care possible. For example, there's only so many organs for transplant, and doctors will have to decide who has the best chance of surviving with one and who will probably use it less - I hate to say it, but - efficiently.

Hello,

I have to agree with the logic here. I said somewhere about Death Panels... there will always be 'Death Panels' as long as the resources for care are limited. Those resources might be money, or they might be organs, or they might be blood, or whatever.

But if resources are limited, someone, somewhere, will always have to decide who gets what, how much, and when.

Never mind that each of us who saves our pocket change for a can of Coke has 'Death Paneled' some poor kid in Africa who could've been kept alive 'for just the price of a cup of coffee.'

No, it's not that simple. Nothing ever is. But this is why 'Death Panel' is a meaningless emotional buzzword in the Health Care debate. Will someone decide if Grandma lives or dies? Yes. Someone is deciding that right now. We just need to make sure Someone makes better choices, and has the most resources reasonably possible to make those decisions.

Thing is, there are plenty of countries that DO view healthcare as a "human right". Of course, they also don't spend anywhere near what we do on their military-industrial complex, either...

And let's at least be honest about this much: we don't even view "human rights" as HUMAN rights. At best (according to our own federal government in their "war on terror" campaign) we view them as "American rights" or "citizens' rights", and are only too happy to deny them to others who weren't lucky enough to be born here.

Well Haiti is Haiti, and we owe them something for more or less kidnapping Aristead to prop up yet another Papa-Doc goon, but that's a different topic...

I mean here, in the US, taking care of our own - we GOT the damn infrastructure already, and yes. we can cut costs immensely, AND reduce the bloated warfare-welfare budget for a freakin start, again, better than milling around on step one whinging about how "impossible" things seem - I don't believe in "impossible" anyway, the wreckage of Pathway oughta prove that.

As for throwing good money after bad... Afghanistan, Iraq... hmmm ?
Cause you KNOW they'll either throw down Karazi and replace him with someone who really hates us, or we'll end up some day having to oust him ourselves much like we did with Saddam, who we propped up in the first place... but again, another topic that...

For as much as I hate our current society and administration, beneath it all, is people - and while we americans are assholes, we can, if we try, seriously get some shit DONE - and we needs be getting off our ass to do it, here.

As for organs, I still say we fuckin clone em - sure, even now they might be less effective than OEM and perhaps come with detrimental side effects, but even a transplant has that problem, what with rejection and all that other rot, and since without one they will DIE ANYWAY, I say we give them the option to take that risk.
(being a cyborg is also especially not-fun, as mentioned elsewhere)

But the primary thing we NEED to do, is cut the goddamn insurance companies out of it, and we need to do that as soon as possible before we even try anything like universal health care - and once we do, then we get up the ass of Big Pharma and they either get with the program or get bowled over, cause there's NO excuse for having to hit up the local dope dealer for smuggled canadian meds so that grammas blood pressure doesn't go kaboom.

Had he *not* gotten that call off, he was going out the door at 20,000 feet, and everydamnbody involved knew it.

Shit, if I was in charge of Haiti right now, the smartest thing to freakin *DO* would be to declare war on us (and refuse to fire even one shot) then call in aid from the middle east, they'd be happy as hell to give it for PR reasons, and it wouldn't have any of the strings or abuses attached that our "help" has ever come with.
