Naw, I don't insult aggressively with curses and profanity. Not that I agree with you that is, "the best", it's rather more like the limited anger-management resources of a group of 9-year-old boys. Temper tantrums. But yes, that does make alot of lurkers on this site resort to PMs.

No high road here. I am what I am. You don't like it. Too bad for you, I guess.

:zz:

That's right, you do it passive aggressively. So much classier. "People don't like you, so instead of saying it to you, they pm me, of all people, to talk about it."

Class personified. You must have to fight the men off with sticks.

Okay, your penis.

She prefers geldings.

Don't you worry about me, thanks. I'm sure most of Derby Trail likes you alot.

A lot is two words idiot.

I'm sure they like you a lot, too! :tro:

Last word.

Riot you can't just make more doctors. It's not that easy. Also, I never said that people should not have access to health care because there are not enough doctors to go around.

Yes, I know you didn't, I mentioned it because this argument ("doctor shortage") was a major "against" argument on the far right during the original healthcare debate.

Doctors have always been a bit of an supply and demand thing. Each med school can expand their class seating by 3-5% (affordable to the school), which most are doing, now. Some can go larger. In four years that increases interns, and that addition can stay as long as demand is there.

You have to do two things: enable doctors to actually practice medicine, and not just check off what insurance companies say they can do for patients; and make it so people that spend $75,000 - $150,000 on their medical education think they will realistically be able to pay it back over 10-20 years (and have enough left over for starting a business or buying into one, and having a life at the same time)

If you think so. You seem to be in the know on everything.

I'll leave you with this. Not important what I do for a living or who I work for but I have a team of physician recruiters that report up to me. The head of my recruitment team is on a national committee formed specifically to address the shortage of primary care physicians in this country and what to do about it. I'll pass along to him your wisdom on what exactly the problems are and how you propose we fix everything.

I will now go press the Easy Button:wf

:tro:

So, speak up, instead of simply dissing my opinion and acting put upon. You said "it's not that easy" to make more doctors. I agreed and offer my thoughts on how to help do it. And then you diss my answer about how to go about it. Actually, you didn't diss the answer, you just dissed me, without offering any counterpoint or other opinion. I'm looking at it from the professional side. My opinion isn't invalid - it's shared by alot of physicians I know and talk with.

What do your physician recruiters find as the primary inability to hire professionals? Care to actually add something of substance to the conversation? You said you have a whole team that reports to you: what do they say?

Either you really do want to discuss doctor shortages, or you're just into schoolyard clique building.

Your opinion is never invalid.

I dont know if you knew this but Riot knows everything.

Not getting DT'ers rallying around you like you hoped when you posted this?

What is the last year someone used the word diss? 1997 or 1998?

Suprise suprise.............:rolleyes:

I have no choice... its the only thing offered through work and it is way cheaper than purchasing it privately still.

of course the insurance company is shady, but Obamacare gave them a reason to become shadier. they site the cadallac tax, which doesnt even come into effect until like 2018 or something.. and my plan is more like a 1995 dodge intrepid instead of a damn caddy!
