Who told us "socialized medicine" was bad?

As usual, you are correct sir. Well said. Obviously JPP's resident crack head (can't keep up with his constant name changes) will continue to misuse words. It seems to be his thing. I guess people think it sounds really smart to throw an 'ism' in the sentence. At least half of the idiots here think the same, so he has a captive audience. His problem? He's too insane for anyone to bother with in any serious way. I've tried to help because I'm really nice that way. That's sort of my thing, lol.
I simply call him NoName, since he has no established moniker name. Even in the Monthly Contest ratings, he will appear under that nym. It's easier than using "JPP's resident crack head", and that phrase could be applied to numerous leftists here.
 
So? Every nation using socialism is not the same.

Another area in which you emulate Trump...declaring a "win" when it is inappropriate.

C'mon, TA. Clean up your game. Don't share any traits with that chump.
Irony from leftist morons who claim winning is actually losing and cheer Iran on. :palm:

Kamala voters are the dumbest morons on the planet.

He can't. Like most of the MAGAts on JPP, Terry is an elderly man sinking to the throes of dementia. He's driven away family and friends. Is there any doubt his behavior IRL is the same as on JPP?

Until recently I have had a reasonable relationship with TA...and with Stone...but this Trump thing seems to be upsetting the applecart.

I used to consider anyone supporting Trump to be a MAGA moron. NOW, I consider anyone not actively and strongly opposing Trump to be a MAGA moron.

I am hoping both those guys change their ways.

Well, I see a win when the other side in a debate has nothing left but ad hominem and insults. That's where you're at. For example, I'll use this commonly trotted out "proof" that US healthcare is poor by world standards study.


Go to "Exhibit 1."

They use five (5) primary ratings:

Access to care
Care process
Administrative efficiency
Equity
Health outcomes

Access to care, administrative efficiency, and equity all heavily favor socialized medicine while having NOTHING, nada, zip-point-shit to do with the quality of the healthcare system a nation has. Those are a combination of managerial measures and DEI values, with "Equity" being particularly applicable to the later.

The one measurement that shows the quality of the healthcare system itself is "Care process." There, the US is, unsurprisingly, second (#2) on their survey.

Then there's "Health Outcomes." As the study notes further down:

The ongoing substance use crisis and the prevalence of gun violence in the U.S. contribute significantly to its poor outcomes, with more than 100,000 overdose deaths and 43,000 gun-related deaths in 2023 — numbers that are much higher than in other high-income countries.

They also included the Chinese Disease lockdown period in this measure. Their own study shows, by their measure, that Sweden who didn't lockdown at all, actually faired better than many countries that did. The study also has little or no problem apparently--from the wording they use--with nations that resorted to the most draconian and totalitarian measures during that panic, like say, Australia.

So, on this measure, their results are heavily skewed by including deaths not due to healthcare or the healthcare system, by including measures of equity and access, and in general skewing their ratings to heavily favor socialized, government run medicine.

I'm seen the negative indications in Terry for a couple years now. Stone is just a spoiled overgrown man-child. Neither of them are capable of change.

I will agree that this study is bullshit as it contains politiczed bullshit items.
