I blame the bidet manufacturers for having such boring instructional videos that they are driving potential customers to TP. 😉

Me thinks you don’t understand why the healthcare system isn’t/wasn’t ready

Yep, completely applicable comparison. So you'd have hospitals build huge

Don't forget all the extra Drs and nurses on staff waiting for the surge

Absolutely, we should be ready to handle a once in a 100 years illness.

Hospitals operate on thin margins and you expect them

All this happened at a time when hospitals and other

Would it costmore than shutting down the economy for months on end?

It wouldn’t be worth it

The last global depression led right into WW2.

Wow don’t know where to start to address this post

My point is the cost of every other technology, even cutting

Busiturtle advocating for socialized medicine? Strange times indeed.

Cause the VA health system is so amazing.

slowhiteguy

3/28/20 7:00am

You have to pay for VA healthcare unless you incurred a severe medical issue

Lieutenant America

Yeah, and while we’ve got the pitchforks out, how about TP manufacturers!!

Well excrement makers obviously stepped up production.

Example: Hospital has 50 ventilators. 400 people need them at once. 350 dead.

dave

Actually, for urban areas the answer is yes.

Busiturtle

Talk, talk, talk, and no actual preparation

Busiturtle

3/28/20 7:44am

You gonna pay for that? Ever priced those things out?

dave

If you are advocating socialized medicine, you have not seen it first hand.

coolblue

I think this is more of a military need right now. We give 600 billion a year

Agreed. Those dissenting voices do not understand that

Socialized medicine or not, there isn't a medical system in the world prepared

Sorry, that's dumb.

Healthcare system is more than emergency room/icu measures.

I like this busiturtle person. The turtle calls it like it is!

Hard to ramp up a pandemic response when critical items like pharmaceuticals...

CougarThug

3/28/20 9:23am

Healthcare didn’t fail. The feds did

BYU '80

3/28/20 9:28am

I'm not sure the feds have failed yet either...

CougarBuddy

3/28/20 9:41am

Fair enough

BYU '80

3/29/20 2:38am

By this logic, every business person should have set aside enough $$ to cover this acute event and be ready for it.

You'll see big change in medical costs if Trump's rule for hospitals to show

gingi

If medical costs go down then medical responsiveness will go down...

CougarBuddy

3/28/20 9:59am

And I believe the death rate of this pandemic in the us...

CougarBuddy

3/28/20 10:02am

Excellent points. Just concerned about purposeful concealment of prices.

gingi

3/28/20 11:28am

Sure. Just ask for the private fee schedule.

CougarBuddy

3/28/20 11:47am

Those fees are higher because of the purposefully concealed prices. They are goo

It’s true though most will just keep hammering home “our healthcare is broken”

BYU '80

Hospitals have a Monopoly. They are money making machines.

Recipefordisaster

3/28/20 10:23pm

They operate on thin margins. Ask anyone that knows healthcare finance

BYU '80

3/29/20 2:42am

Not for profit organizations always operate on thin margins, they have to give

Jacksonian76

Well you did not ask about my experience in the field.

Your post has nothing to do with the OP. But thanks

What is the one or the other choice? It's a tight rope we are walking

Jacksonian76

I am glad that we both now agree that it is not a myth that the elderly
