@NomadProduct @ThWitchDoctor @stuartbuck1 Yes, self published science fiction writer with a yen for Ayn Rand quotations, I’m the one that is more obvious than belief
Ok, you wanna go down that path, what happens when we define occupation as “mass murderer” and social status as “someone responsible for mass murder”
@NomadProduct @ThWitchDoctor @stuartbuck1 Also, where’d you get “collectivist ideology” from in my comment? Do you have some sort of Rand quota you have to fill? Cause I just plain up don’t see how you get there in responding to the one interaction we had.
@NomadProduct @ThWitchDoctor @stuartbuck1 Ayn Rand? You’re running defense over a mercenary stooge who got got and quoting Ayn Rand. Good for you. Never let them tell you who you are, even if they’re only ever laughing at who you’ve said you are.
@NomadProduct @ThWitchDoctor @stuartbuck1 You’re saying cause he was paid the same as other people who had his job in the morally bankrupt industry that only exists to profit off of not providing needed services to the public that he’s a good person?
Your problem at the Nuremberg trial was the defendants paycheck?
Stu forgot that most insurance companies have been buying providers for the last decade so as to be able to both set prices and claim record profits when regulations mandated 80% of income being spent on patient care.
Hospitals: "we demand to charge $15,000 for a service that costs $5,000 in Australia. We never tell the patient the price in advance"
Insurance company: "That is too high, we will only pay $12,000"
Commenters: "The insurance company is so heartless and cruel!!"
@stuartbuck1 This has become a model nationwide. Insurance companies set both prices and deliver the care. And with CEOs who ignore morality in favor of their fiduciary “responsibility” it means less care for more money. Glad I could help. You should stop being so stupid in public.
@stuartbuck1 Hey Stu. Here in CA, where we have 80/20 laws that say the insurer must spend 80 of their budget patient on care, insurance companies have been buying providers so as to get around that law. So the insurance companies and the hospitals are often the same people.
@drgmunoz1964@EricG1247 Yeah Steven Miller has said it a bunch of times. Vance said it quite a bit when that bullshit about the Haitians in Ohio flared up. It’s real.
