The innovations can remain with private providers and research. The biggest short comings are profit taking and admin.

Admin is going to improve in a government run program? If you believe that, I have some oceanfront property outside of Fargo to sell you.

Innovation has little to do with billing.
Admin costs can be reduced through government programs. See VA and Medicare.

Buttajudge proves himself to be a total fraud.
The gist: Rode in a suburban (armored?) (what does that get to the gallon?) to within a few hundred yards of a cabinet meeting. Had it stop. Got a bike out the back, and rode the rest of the way to make it appear to the cameras he rode a bike to work, you know for that lib Green cred..Except he got busted doing it, despite CNN playing along. What a fraud..

What I see is an opinion piece from the Washington Times. That's kind of like citing Sean Hannity. But I'll look into it.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 9:16 pmJohnStOnge wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 6:58 pm I think being transgender is a disorder. But in Googling around I don't see anything to indicate that Rachel Levine (who is confused and thinks he is a she) should be characterized as a "failed public health officer."
If he were picked strictly because he thinks he is a she I would not agree with that. But I don't think he is a "failed public health officer" that is not qualified for the position.https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/20 ... l-touts-t/Dr. Levine, Pennsylvania’s former health secretary signed an order on March 18, 2020, for the state’s nursing homes to accept patients who previously had or were hospitalized with the coronavirus. The decision led to more than 12,000 senior deaths, accounting for more than half of Pennsylvania’s total.
Days before Dr. Levine signed her nursing home directive, she took her 95-year-old mother out of a personal care home, after she was notified of residents nearby who tested positive for the coronavirus.
Moreover, reports from the state indicate that there’s been official undercounting of nursing home deaths — exactly the same crime New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been accused of.
The only reason Levine got the Assist Sec health nomination from Biden is because of identity politics. If he wasn't a he pretending to be a she, he wouldn't have gotten the nomination.

That is because it is a tweet. It is something I have noticed in the past that some tweets/posts don't show up for some reason depending on the device. Example is that the post shows up on my phone but not on my computer. I think it is glitch in the tweet html code.

There's no doubt that we have a system that needs to be fixed, but I think we should acknowledge that letting smart people develop drugs and treatments for us, and then to profit from their work, is a benefit.
