[quote=Nicole]Hi SD_matt,

Thanks for asking my opinion. I only had a chance to skim the first and last couple pages of the article (late day at work…) I agree that this article is well written and presents some interesting arguments, but my brief skimming of the article he seemed to be suggest a free market philosophy to drive healthcare costs down. He also seemed to suggest that people should pay for their preventative care like we pay for gas in our car. I don’t see our healthcare choices like other consumer choices. Most people agree that the best care is obtained when you stick with one provider (the concept of a “medical home”) the quality of your care will likely go down if you go shopping around every time you have a new healthcare need. Also expecting people without resources to pay for preventative is just never going to happen and they’ll still end up in the ER with illnesses that have progressed.

Sorry, I didn’t have time to comment on the many of the other points, but I figured better to keep it short anyway…[/quote]
Thanks for reading Allan, Matt, Nicole. If the byzantine payment structure is removed, more money will be spent on actual health care healers instead of office works slaving over billing.

There’s nothing in the article that precludes clinics financed in part by the county. Behaviorial economists (Thaler, “Nudge”; Dan Ariely, “Predictably Irrational”) have documented your concerns about people ignoring future needs in favor of present desires. I would not be opposed to fat tax to finance clinics. I think I’m personally responsible on demand side for sugar prices tripling in last 10 years. Sin taxes work wonders on consumption. Witness the CA beer lobby stopping new beer taxes in 09 and thus moving tax increases to car tax and general sales tax.

The population in USA has increased 30% in last 27 years and number of medical school graduates is still only 16K per year. The AMA certainly had something to do with that in 1979 with their dire warning of physician oversupply that has nearly stopped all additional enrollment. It is difficult to believe that with 30% more population that all those people are as lazy as me and couldn’t pass the muster. As for the expense, why wouldn’t the HMO’s be interested in funding these additional residencies?

Allan is right, I better shut my mouth. I already have the accounting industry after me because I dared suggest that we reallocate 2M people from worthless tax industry to financial planning, health care, etc. Then the defense industry (and most Congress members) are after me and Sec Gates because we dared speak up about worthless projects. Do I really want the health industry complex after me? Do I want to jeopardize my only decent investment VGHCX?

Decent article but where are his thoughts on the last question???

“On the bright side, while this is bad for the economy as a whole, it is good for investors looking for mispriced financial assets.”

Your cogent analysis is not going to sway anyone. Add some color to your story like this:

“Intuitive researcher and lecturer David Wilcock discussed his prophetic dreams and confirmations of major social realignment beginning this fall, potential for an ET disclosure from the U.S.

…Illuminati’s plan to reduce the world’s population through economic collapse, Swine Flu, and war & conflagration. His “inside sources” have informed him that America is on the verge of a horrific set of economic events, including the dismantling of the Federal Reserve.”

http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2009/10/06%5B/quote%5D

Why waste any time providing “color” or listening to Wilcock’s crap about prophecy when the data released by the U.S. gov’t, itself, provides all the evidence necessary?

You want cogent analysis? Ride down any street and count the number of “Closed” and “For Lease” signs. Do the math and use your common sense. Don’t listen to quacks spouting drivel about prophecy.

Swine flu and war are other topics that have no place in this discussion.[/quote]

Lighten up. When I post a serious response like my second one on Leuthold, I get no responses. Hence, you get treated to my riddles as recommended by my analyst TG.

My Illuminati post was comedic intervention (and a subtle analogy). Just as you consider ghost channel (coast-to-coast) as quack talk, there are others here (Greenspan fans) who may consider your ideas slightly wacky. 🙂
[The irony of your response is just precious]

If you want to have a serious discussion, you may want to read viewpoints that aren’t 100% in agreement with yours. What do you think about the following?

“As a result, he’s already adding more physical gold holdings to his portfolios: 2.5% now but likely to hit 10% by 2011. Non-dollar based assets – including Brazilian bonds – consume 45% of his asset allocation and seem likely to remain there.”

For gold bugs here’s a more moderate viewpoint:

“Leuthold Core (LCORX), his flagship fund which actively manages its asset allocation, lives in the top 1% of stock/bond hybrid funds with consistently “high” returns.

After the middle of 2010, though, he thinks the chickens will come home to roost: government overspending (past, present, and – he fears – future) will substantially debase the U.S. currency. As a result, he’s already adding more physical gold holdings to his portfolios: 2.5% now but likely to hit 10% by 2011. Non-dollar based assets – including Brazilian bonds – consume 45% of his asset allocation and seem likely to remain there.”
