JUST TAKE A PAIN PILL?

What Obama said.

Ouch.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Ouch.

You're such a hack it's amazing.

Yeah, it's really starting to piss me off. Damo knows what he's really saying, and knows that he's not saying we should give seniors a pain pill instead of treating them, but he'll never correct Tutu on that point. He'll say "ouchies!!" and leave it at that because he's a hack who doesn't care about the truth.

I was hoping that somebody would give me a pain pill. You two read too much into my posts.

I'll fax you a pill Damo.

It is in an attachment to the PM.

I haven't watched it, I saw the title and I was hoping somebody was handing out pain pills.

He is saying that treatment needs to be decided based on what is effective, not what is going to put the most money in the doctor's pocket. Doctors right now are compensated based on services rendered, so the incentive is for operations and procedures and tests that may or may not be totally medically necessary. What he was speaking about (in context) was precisely that - finding ways to fix the incentives to be conducive to better care which would also help lower prices by eliminating payments for unnecessary procedures.
