You don't get out of debt, by borrowing money...

Doctors make more money from treating people than from resolving the problem. Doctors charge as much as people (insurance companies) are willing to pay for their services. If Obama would have left things a lone, or reduced a little of the greed on the insurer/lawyer side, the cost would likely go down, since most people wouldn't pay those high costs, or least fewer would. It's supply and demand, you have to drop you prices, to attract customers. Cheap/free insurance, make a surplus of customers, they don't care about the total price, just their out of pocket price. Those without insurance are encouraged to buy in to it, because there is no way they can afford major medical procedures otherwise. Doctors do the best they can, their license and reputation is at stake. They have a considerable investment in time and money, to get where they are, and too many people watching over them. Too many people think TV medicine is how it really works, and expect to fully recover, as if nothing was ever wrong. Then again, there are many who believe the TV preacher man, can put his hands on a crippled man, who will immediately jump out of his wheelchair, and do a dance on stage... Doctors don't actually heal anyone, you have to do that for yourself. They can easy your pain, remove some of the damage, assist your immune system, and a few other things to help you heal, and in the best possible way. You won't ever actually be perfect in every way, but you'll be in much better condition, than if you had gone it alone. Unfortunately, a lot of the work they do, turns out to be a waste of time, they can't always fix the root cause of the problem, diet, exercise, drinking, smoking... They can prescribe medication, and give very specific instructions on how and when to use them, but some people don't or won't. Some people seem to prefer death, or continual medical issues, rather than change their lifestyles, live healthier, or take meds.

At least Obama and Hillary tried. It was already a disaster that got worse every year. Hopefully there will be an administration with some courage to tackle it again. Last I heard is was $500,000 in student loan debt and $50,000 a year in malpractice insurance for a doctor.

My surgeon who is also a specialist used this legal argument in treating me. He doesn't know about the medical problem that I have. Did he learn anything in school? While he is a surgeon, he can't be expected to know anything. That would be making an assumption. The law does not allow for assumptions but only facts. We are a nation of laws. Shifting goal posts here. If we prevent a problem and it either doesn't happen or is less of an issue, what facts would support that something worse might have happened. This is Harvey's argument. It's typical of most Americans. I mean Kennedy would be booed today. He did say Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.

You surgeon was called in to perform a specific procedure, which is his specialty, and that you signed papers agreeing to. If he saw other issues, while he had you cut open, he wouldn't be allow to address those, and could be sued for doing so, even though it would mean you going back for additional surgeries at a later date, assuming you survived. Unless it's in your chart, or your other doctors we made aware, he wouldn't have any knowledge of your other problems. Most of you other problems, that aren't related to the procedure he was brought into perform, would be his concern, since you have other doctors dealing with them. He did the job he was hired to do, it was successful, and working as expected. Cancer is gone, bowels are functional. You wouldn't have survived 9 years, if it wasn't done well. Capitalism works pretty well, until greedy politicians step in to steal a portion of the profits through taxes, apply laws, rules, regulations, restrictions, to control who makes the profits, usually themselves. They also tend to squash competition, and new companies, which usually makes stealing profits a little more difficult. Another reason to hate Trump, he tries to remove some of these anti-capitalism policies, and the swamp-things are scared.

You can only have the American exceptionalism by establishing it at inception, by defining in a Constitution that the government draws its authority from the people, not the other way around, i.e. the people live by permission of the government. Not only do the people of the UK not enjoy even basic rights we Americans take for granted, like freedom of expression, but now they have to vote for Brexit in order to retain at least the appearance that they somehow have a say in who their representatives are. As it stands, they live under the rule of an unelected bureaucracy seated in another country that hates them and that does not answer to them. Yes, they aspire to American exceptionalism and actively hope and pray to one day achieve it. The U.S. has the best economy on the planet, bar none. Every other country on the planet actively aspires to achieve the American level of prosperity, with the obvious exceptions of those run by Marxists that are actively working to oppress their people into abject poverty and misery.

China has good schools too, why come half way around the world? Every expensive, and difficult. They pay for their education, by taking it back home, and most are okay with that, little bit like 'spying' or stealing intellectual property. They don't generally steal secrets, we just hand it over, willingly. They don't keep it a secret though, they use the information anyway they please. A lot of the companies crying IP theft, sent their product over there, to be manufactured on the cheap, which they got. The Chinese just used the information to make copies, sometimes exactly the same, sometimes better, sometimes cheaper, whatever sells the best. Sort of how they make up the difference, for cheap labor. Actually quite fair, since those companies are robbing the American people of jobs, and hurting our economy, flooding the markets with cheap knock-offs. We wouldn't have half the cheap crap, if companies kept there products here to manufacture, where their secrets, would mostly be kept.

How many of Trump's executive orders went into effect, as written? Fortunately, congress would get the votes to over-ride a veto. The courts finally are going to reallocate some Pentagon money, to build border wall, something we needed 6 months ago... Pretty much anything to do with the southern border, has hit the democrat wall. Most of them are start to see the crisis, some still don't want to admit they did wrong though. I'd don't think Trump plays those kinds of games, he speaks what he thinks, and tries his best to deliver on any promise made, within reason. He probably won't try to send Hilary to prison, waste of time and money anymore. More important things to focus on. Still might come up, some serious stuff went into cleaning up her mess, which should be made public, so it does continue. Quite a few of the participants are still on the job as well.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You don't get it ITN. What you'd like to see happen might. I read where the people at Jamestown just killed Indians when they wanted their land for growing tobacco. It takes arable land to grow agricultural products. You forget that I wouldn't mind seeing Pocahontas' remains returned to her people. The catch is that the Powhatan tribe really doesn't exist anymore. That is the funny aspect about society, most highly placed people in the tech field are either immigrants or their children. This kind of means that one day they'll probably influence American politics. They'll have the money to support political campaigns. In some ways Trump might be offending the Hi Tech community by going after minorities. Yet if all those young people decided to help their own countries, where would that leave the US? The issue of immigration is a bitch.
